I'm grateful that my no more late night snacking has resulted in a 500g weight loss. I've done nothing else differently.

I was doing ok until I recently said I was, then I jinxed it πŸ˜” Glad you've got some results though, well done!

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thank you.

I was mindlessly snacking when I wasn't hungry so I decided I wasn't gonna eat after 8pm.

Jump back on the train with me. Eat tea, have dessert if need be and then stop after 8pm. That's all. Baby steps.

Eating when you're not hungry does me in, but the reason is that my biggest problem is also eating to avoid food being wasted. I think, "look that'll get thrown out, can't waste it," and I'll eat it when I'm not hungry, especially things that aren't freezable or good for lunch the next day. I'll have to maybe start making smaller portions.

Oh I see. Yeah I hate waste too.

i too have stuck to my new eating plan. No snacks on errands, no bikkies at all, no desserts or cakes will be made . I have no idea if I have lost weight.

have been on decaf after 3 pm for the past month

I will also forgo store bought roti and parathas and only eat healthy home made fat free ones if i have them at all

Woah. Way to go!

I'm wondering if you sleep better without the caffeine after 3pm? I don't have a problem with sleeping but I know others do and I'm just curious.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I do sleep better :)

Very impressive! And nice work for sticking to it. I’m doing ok, mainly because I have to take a tablet in the evening on an empty stomach. Otherwise, I don’t know if my willpower would hold out, lol

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 2 months ago

Thanks. Well done to you too!
