Finished at 6:10pm I've been crocheting and catching up with Pottery Throw down so not thought about snacking at all,
off to beddy bys now.

Evening @MissMuffett

Yes, immersed in a good book or some other pastime you enjoy is the best way to avoid the kitchen, when at home in the evening. Sweet dreams.

Ooooo Pottery Throwdown is back? I don’t have a TV licence so I can only watch on catchup streaming, and seldom go to that particular channel. Guess what I am doing on this cold, blustery (again), wet day.

Finished my supper of salmon, haddock and salad by 6.30pm and only once had the urge to pick and peck after that. I am assuming it has become a habit, so needs to be broken.

Who will join me?

I intend to do this for the rest of January- 10 days and hopefully I’ll have broken the habit by then and carry on.

I‘m not hungry, I suspect I’m bored and it’s becoming a habit. So I thought if there were a few of us that struggle with this it would be good to record our successes and make suggestions on how we coped.

@LivingLightly?

I am ready to join, I normally break the fast at 10 am after having dinner at around 7 pm. I've recently started swimming from 8 to 9 am and at times I feel I need something before getting into the water and I feel this has spoilt my routine, any suggestions? I honestly haven't checked my blood glucose after swimming though I've never felt hungry though I at times have a crampy mouth.
Regards,
 
Bit later tonight but still all done by 7.
Dentist tomorrow morning and meeting friend for coffee after so will extend my fast until back home at lunchtime

Evening @Motumi Nini Dintwe. Welcome to the challenge. We're pleased you could join us.

A crampy mouth is usually caused by facial muscle spasms. Are you having plenty to drink?
Once again, welcome.
 
6pm
 
Came in at a 17.5 hour fast due to skipping breakfast and lunching at 12. I was very ready for lunch!

Tonight's meal eaten by 18:15. Only herbal tea since.

Will aim for TMAD tomorrow (brunch at 11, dinner at 17:30) as that fits well with our Thursday timetable
 
Done and dusted by 6:30. I didn’t get peckish this evening so perhaps my bad habit is cracking, if not yet entirely broken.
 
Just to touch base with @MissMuffett and regulars on this thread.

I haven't faltered ... yet.. I think this timing of the evening meal is a sensible approach (combined with low carb eating, obviously) for those type 2s striving to keep their BG readings in check.
