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.

I'm guessing you have a super metabolism, in which case I'm super jealous! Good luck this week!
