Challenge Description: The goal of this challenge is to avoid eat or drinking (besides water) anything after 8pm at night.
Expectations: I expect this to be a bit uncomfortable in the beginning, physically and emotionally. I have a bad habit of eating in the evenings to relax from a hard day of work and the stresses of everyday life. At night I turn on my favorite show/movie and eat mindlessly. I admit recently I’ve gone as far as ordering DoorDash very late at night. That’s been me at my lowest point. I don’t expect to lose weight, but I do hope this will help develop a new eating habit to improve my overall health and well-being.
Grade: F
Outcome: It’s been 30 days and I can honestly say I failed this challenge. Out of 30 days, I ate after 8pm over 70% of the time. Most of my behavior came directly from what I specified before, stresses of work and everyday life. Either I have to mitigate these stresses or find ways to avoid eating despite them. Either way, this challenge just opened my eyes to deeper seeded issues and that’s something.
