hi-
great question. For me, the easy answer is carb creep- especially more alcohol (margarita anyone?) and sugar. Sugar is not really the issue- but alcohol is. If I have 1-2 drinks a week I'm okay. More is not okay for my weight.
The other thing that is strange is that I gained 10 lbs almost in a couple of weeks when my thyroid meds and estrogen were changed to generic - once I realized it I changed back, but the weight gain stayed. that was about 10 years ago.
My best strategy is to never go off plan.
It can be a challenge, especially when my routine changes or I'm under a lot of stress (and have you noticed that when you're under stress carbs are either always present or always offered???). Then my impulse is to say "screw it- I'm going to eat whatever I want!", followed by the voice of reason saying "No, because being sick isn't going to help you deal with this- you can do this".
later-
E
