.. wow just when you think youve cracked this WOE - along comes another phase and messes you up.


I started pre maintenance a couple weeks ago - and I have started having cravings so bad that i actually had a chunk of cookie in my mouth on saturday night! ( I spat it out before I swallowed it - how sad!! But I was so disgusted with myself) - so this week i am back to owl and not too sure where to go. It seems that the minute I get out of ketosis or up my carbs I want to eat sooooo badly.

I followed the DANDR suggestions for adding things back. Fruit is a no no for me - I am very disappointed - even a cpuple of grapes has me wanting more....

So now I am thinking of sticking to owl until after christmas (when all the major temptaions are gone) and retrying pre-maintenence - i guess I will have lost a couple more pounds by then too.

I will not be one of the people that regain it all when they leave OWL - but now I can see how it can happen easily.
