Well welcome "kinda back"
Alas I KNOW these as well, even happens when I'm back...last night it was on pure protein, but in the LONG run and reality I didn't need to eat ALL that protein...
The head games are the hardest part. Keep hanging in there...you ARE worth it...me too =)

Hey Beautiful,I am only kinda back :) All messed up in the head :)
I know what you mean by this also.
- I will even slow down so I can eat more.
- I sometimes will wait a bit and then continue eating.
- Or have dessert later, even when I am not hungry at all.
These are all when I am off plan and don't give a poop about anything...
Hugs,
Cindy
once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.
PM me if you are interested in either of these.

Today I am struggling with chocolate cravings (TOM). I'm resisting as best I can. Instead of stealing my daughter's chocolate bar, I made a cup of coffee and put cocoa powder and splenda in it. No cream, as I have cut that out recently, I was abusing that privilege and I have found that dairy stalls my weight loss. I finally got one blessed pound off this week. These last pounds have been a brutal fight..
I'm about half way through the coffee and feeling better. The cravings are subsiding.....thank God.....I may not be able to eat wheat.....but that chocolate beckons me, is my downfall and weakness, and I can safely eat it.....bad combo...
But I am doing good, it's been 7 days, 4 hours and 36 minutes since my last bite of chocolate......

Trish have you tried a chocolate protein powder in your coffee? I like to heat the chocolate premier protein from costco and add some coffee. Yummy! I'm drinking one right now. (Of course I like to add a little peppermint mocha creamer to it too, but it would still be good without it.)
Not sure if Premier Protein is gluten free or not though.
My downfall is cashews. I always have some with me and sometimes if I'm hungry on my way home from work I'll eat some. What I'm finding is that I'm not hungry for dinner when it's time, so I need to break that BAD habbit!

Yes, I have totally done that and it's sooo good, but I am keeping calories down and keeping my sleeve full with low calorie dense protein instead of soft stuff lately. I needed a low calorie fix today....and that cocoa coffee worked like a charm! I am so satisfied and "over" wanting my daughter's chocolate bar.
Premier protein is indeed gluten free, and it is yummy!!!!
I understand about the nuts, I can get addicted to them, but yes, they spoil dinner and add way to many calories. I had to stop that habit. I can reintroduce them at maint. My nut of choice is the almond.....MMMMMMMMMMMMM

Cindy -- thank you so much for posting this! i am really glad i popped over here today! i am at the almost 8 month point (next week) and it's getting easier to pull *tricks* on my sleeve like the ones mentioned above and not realize (a) i'm doing them; or (b)that they're bad for my weight loss!!! because i still get hungry, so i tend to eat until i'm not hungry anymore, which is not good. i do measure my food, but i probably need to stop eating before i do. no barfing for a good while though, which is good!
again, so happy to see this. guilt reduced! ((((((((hugs)))))))
