TOM hit. On Saturday night/Sunday morning. And I have been snacking and eating at around maintenance instead of my 15% cut ever since! It's literally like I can't control myself. :noway: It's not as bad as it's been in the past, necessarily, but it's also lasted a lot longer...I started a different kind of birth control three weeks ago and I'm having some interesting reactions to the placebo week. Usually I would have cravings, but they'd only be for a day...this is day four of irresistible chocolate desires. Gah.

The good news is at least I've been hovering around maintenance calories. But, this is only my second week of eating more. I'm not sure what I'm trying to ask here--maybe, "Is this going to derail my progress because I've been inconsistent?" or "Can I have permission to hide from the scale until next week?" or just general reassurance would be good. :ohwell:

    Oh no consistency is stressed bec people have a tendency to eat less than cut. So eatng at maintenance for a couple days is a good thing. The body appreciate maintenance cals tremendously. I try to eat maintenance twice a week.

    Okay, good, that's a relief! :smile: I've also been sleeping 9-10 hours a night for the last four or five days and I'm still tired. I feel like a zombie. I suppose it has something to do with my body finally relaxing and letting its guard down now that I'm giving it more noms, but it's so bizarre to sleep that much for me.

    That's exactly it--I'm a totally different person. A ravenous, chocolate-inhaling person. :laugh:
