Two rules to save me

As I have posted I have had a difficult time in my life and gained weigh over the last year.

One rule that I have never given up is "no eating and drinking together,. The only exception was wine with dinner. But this really is an important one to keep one on track.

The second one I have just recently installed in my life and I think it will save me from gaining weight and helping me right now as I lose weight again.

"No eating after 7 p.m."

I am PMSing and my usual craving for carbs reared it's ugly head all of the sudden and I had been doing so well giving up bread and sugar for almost two weeks. I at least accept that 24 hour period as it was, and now hope to be back on track today. But last night I wanted to eat something at 7:10 and I said NO. 7:30 I went into the kitchen again, but I said NO! 

A couple extra decaf coffees and water seemed to have saved me from food too.

Make sure you keep rules like this and you will succeed.

Just thought I'd share my recent struggle.

I have a friend who doesn't eat in the evening either.  She says it helps her to control her appetite as well. 

Myself....I couldn't do it!  Kudos to you!!!!

Good Going ! and very inspiring too.  I have a weakness for chocolate chip cookies and have gone without for over 5 days now - hope to never return to them , in fact cut out all sugar as it should be, and now only the occasional toast, rusk or maybe kashi cereal.  keep up the good work!!

Dr. Oz had a great segment yesterday about night time eating and some tips to avoid it. Here's the link...
