its so true. just cut it back out, go cold turkey back to phase one...even just a week should do it for ya. 

Yeah...I know. Time to clean house. I own a Subway and work there 5 times a week. I eat healthy at work...it's when I get home. I'm so busy during the day I never think about sweets. At home, I get bored after the kids are in bed. The hubbies 10pm snack time doesn't help but I need to be more in control....weighing in makes me feel sick. All that hard work....

I have discovered that, when I'm so burnt out and sick of the word "diet", I can eat what I want. But only a tiny bit. If I want M&M's, I eat some. But just a handful, and I don't let myself have any more. If I want Doritos, I'll eat 6 or 7 and walk away. Some people can't stop if they start, and if you're one of those people, don't do it. But if you have enough control of yourself to be able to stop, this has helped me feel like I'm living a normal life, like I don't have to be so obsessed about every bite I put in my mouth. And I've continued to lose weight, but I try to work it off that same day if I feel that I've eaten something I shouldn't have.  

I hear ya, girl! Struggled with the same thing myself last week. Had a major sweet tooth yesterday! And my boyfriend is trying to be so encouraging to me!
