Today is my 297th day on MFP. I have done better than I would have ever imagined. I have lost 70 pounds and I feel great about myself. I have reached my goal weight, but I cannot get the nerve up to change my setting to maintenance phase.
Recently I have been eating more than I have in a long time. I am still under my calories for the day, but I am eating back my exercise calories - which I did not do before. I find myself craving chocolate chip cookies at night time. I lay in bed thinking- oh, I will get some on Friday because Thursday is my weigh in day. I also think to myself, tomorrow morning I will stop by Dunkin Donuts and get a breakfast sandwich because I haven't had one in such a long time. Luckily, I just think about these foods and I don't give in to the temptations because when I wake up, I realize that I don't need these things. I am so worried that I will get back into my old habits and gain my weight back.
Does this happen to anyone else, and any advice on how to stop thinking about food????
