Week 5: No eating after 8pm

Save the best for last

I did better on this challenge than the last 2.  Yay!  I needed the points.  I noticed that there seemed to be 2 different camps on the issue of whether one sweet a day was easier or harder than no sweets.  I found no sweets at all easier as I had to catch myself a few times and do a mental check as to whether or not I was allowed a treat.  With the no sweets week I just knew they were off limits and I was okay with that.  I have pretty good self-control when it comes to sweets.  However, this next week's challenge will kill me.  I might just have to go to bed every night at 8pm just to avoid temptation.  After I inhale a snack at 7:59.  I eat late Every Night.  Sometimes in bed before I turn out the light.  I know, it's kind of gross.  But most nights I'm legitimately hungry!  I've been done breastfeeding for a couple weeks now, so that excuse is out the window. . . I don't know, maybe it's the dehydration thing.  You know, most of the time when you think you're hungry you're actually thirsty.  We've all heard that somewhere.  I should have paid more attention to that first week to notice if I was still hungry at night after having had so much water during the day.  Anyways, does anyone else deal with hunger at night?  I mean, it's 10:30 and I just had a sandwich an hour ago and my stomach is already growling!  I guess I'll find out if I can live without food at night.  I already decided that I might have to trick myself by eating ice.  I know, that's pretty desperate.  This WILL be my hardest week.
