Hi Lisa,
This thread you started has been extremely helpful to me! I'm new to maintenance too and I can relate to what you are saying.

Thanks Goldfish!!
I guess this should be in my journal but I have yet to start one because I wouldn't know what to write, so I guess this has turned into my impromtu journal
Maintenance is a bit weird. But things that I have figured out. I can have an off plan meal without a blip in the radar (maybe a bit of water weight--but who cares about that). I cannot have "flourish" type foods but occasionally--except for the lo carb bread that I make myselfin my breadmaker and low carb tortillas maybe 2X a week. Even low carb desserts--cakes, cookies, made with low carb "flourish" ingredients set off cravings and uncontrollable hunger and eating. No good. So I've been limiting those to once a month. It only took me 2 months to figure that out--duh! Oh--no maltitol or isomalt--not a pretty site!!!
I guess it's true--you really can't go back!!
