On your point about being hungry and how you can lose your grip even on complex carbs, i wonder if the problem is the hunger in the first place. If you get too hungry, it does trigger hormones that cause this intense hunger and it does make it harder to stop. So perhaps you should try to avoid that hunger by eating something sooner.

That's part of my strategy. I learned about this from reading about the liver and glycogen levels and hunger. Maybe you can find something on it if you look around the web. Its fairly complex but it makes sense and i think it an important thing for us to understand and get a grip on so that we do not get this intense uncontrollable appetite.
 
WOW WOW WOW...you used to be 185?! and now you're a slim 125 at 5'5"?!

Congratulations. I enjoy reading your diary a bit more, just so I can envision what maintenance may seem like for me...

Misspoodle, thank you for the kind words! And best of luck with your journey!

Fortyfour, it sounds as if we are in the same boat as far as sugar goes. Do you use any artificial sweeteners or honey? I use both, but am not sure if it is a good idea to do so. Good luck with your experiment over the Christmas holidays!

The scale has been creeping up. For the last several days I have been cutting back on sodium. I have lost a little water weight.
