Eggsactly Krys!!!
My experience with all these "treat" foods in maintenance is that if I start eating them daily, its no longer a once in a while type of food. Especially when I see the scale moving up.
But I had to first isolate, for me, which foods would be my once in a while foods. It used to be flour stuff like bagels or pizza. But over the years, I no longer crave them, or even think about them, as much as before.
I am still a work in progress and will be as long as I breathe.
I think its key for each of us to figure out which foods trigger us and devise strategies to deal with them. Thats why doing OWL in Atkins, or phase II of SB, is key for long term sccess. If we don't figure this out before we hit goal, we are left wondering how to when we do hit it.
I don't have a peanut butter issue. I can have a small amount of leave it. Sugar is the same for me....but I do think that a couple of years ago, that wouldn't have been the case for me.
Time does have a way of healing us when we remain consistent to our plan of choice.
