What causes 'The Spell' to start?

You know, the magic weight loss spell?

I've been under it so many times. When dieting is easy, calorie counting is a breeze, my appetite is controlled, I have no cravings, and pounds just tumble off.

And then the spell breaks. Whether it is a week later or 6 months later, and the diet spell is broken.

I can't lose weight without the spell. I cannot summon the spell. It just happens. Who casts the spell? What breaks the spell?

These are eternal mysteries.

I also find if l talk about it, the spell is broken.

I don’t know why!

“The Spell”, for me it only seems to happen in the spring/summer. I just have less of an appetite and am generally more active so I find it

Same! The spell is non existant in Winter for me, it begins to work it's magic round about April, weather dependant of course.
