My appetite has finally receded a bit, what a relief! Snuck onto the Suspicious Scales this morning and was pleased, so hoping for a successful weigh-in tomorrow.
koko do you have a slow cooker? Prepping dinner earlier in the day (or first thing in the morning, or over the weekend to make freezer bags) would help, then there's no grey area while dinner's cooking. That really helped me when I found I was "being good" all day but then nibbling on huge amounts of cheese whilst I was prepping dinner: then it's just a question of avoiding the fridge until dinner time and then diving into the slow cooker.
Was it just nuts though? I think nuts are a perfectly reasonable snack! I used to eat great hunks of Cheddar or Boursin whilst cooking.
I really think you would benefit from building snacks into your day, particularly scheduled around your Danger Times. If you portion them out in advance, literally pour out as many nuts or whatever as you're allowed rather than digging into the bag and trying to stop with will power alone, then you don't need to worry about spiralling, which sounds like a problem for you, and there's no reason at all why you can't lose weight whilst snacking. I remember I used to follow a blogger who did a Weight Loss Challenge and she used one of those companies who deliver your food to you every day (obviously they gave it to her for free as promotion). She specifically said she was surprised to find a morning and afternoon snack built into the programme, because she'd always shied away from snacking, but she lost 7lbs in the first week. I wish the posts were still up!
As I recall she failed ultimately, but it goes to show if you build snacks into your calorie allowance they can really help.
