I'm in the first month of my weightloss journey and its been tough. I'm realizing more and more that I am an impulse eater..I will have a perfect day with working out and eating right and then when I get home it all goes bad..I call the hours between 3 and 6 the dark hours. My husband is working nights so I don't see him and with 2 young kids I reach for that food and can't stop.. It is really taking a toll on me and today I came up with an idea to stop it. If I stay on my diet all day and into the "dark hours" then when my kids are finally in bed asleep I get a 100 calorie skinny cow bar. well....I DID IT!!!!!!! I even turned down homeade pizza!! I ate a very healthy dinner and I'm not hungry or anxious!!! I just wanted to share this amazing milestone in my diet!! thanks for listening!

Good for you! Those hours are bad for me too. Especially because my kids want their after school/ after nap snacks then.

Ohh and me too and there's no kids here -it is something about the evening. I need to save some food allowance for a snack at that time - it's when I don't that I start feeling hungry and think to **** with it - i'm gonna go over so may as well go the whole way and for me that's a full blown binge

Great idea to "treat" yourself after a day of eating healthy. I need to do this as well, I always like something sweet after dinner and skinny cow 100 cal treats sound right up my ally.

I've done it for 2 days now...and its going great! I'm feeling a little hungry this morning but I think its because I ate really early and went to bed early. Today will probabaly be a little more of a challenge...I am meeting my mom for lunch. I've been home since friday afternoon all by myself with the kids and I haven't had a week moment.
