The subconscious is a marvelous and devious little bugger. I do the same thing when I hit a milestone. If nothing else, it serves to show you that your old way of eating will have to be a thing of the past if you want to keep losing. For me it was alcohol. Although never a big drinker (hahahaha), if I want to lose weight I have to stay away from it. Not because I'm a drunk but because I have great willpower UNLESS I have a buzz, then I just don't care what I eat. Frustrating but a good learning experience. Anyway, good luck getting back on track! ~Selma 698723@blogcritics.org Fri, 29 Feb 2008 08:23:22 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/02/29/062258.php#comment-698720 Dan, I've been reading for a while now and I am wondering if you are not eating enough calories on your diet days and that lets you go back for more soon. Seriously, I am way smaller than you, but I eat much more than you on your diet days. Why don't you try to find exactly the amount of calories you can eat without gaining weight and then working your way down from that slowly. I'll keep reading.
