Hi Brenda!
My weight was creeping up without me eating much more in terms of volume, too - I guess I started to notice my metabolism slow down. This made me re-evaluate just WHAT I was eating, not just how much. I am also a carb addict in a bad, bad way!
If you are finding induction hard to get into again, what is helping me is thinking of it as "only" 2 weeks. I only have to eat this way 2 weeks, then if at the end of 2 weeks that ice cream is STILL calling my name, I will have some and accept going off-plan that day. But in order to allow that I have to follow the rules to a T for the next 14 days. I have a sneaking suspicion though that the ice cream won't be nearly as tempting after two weeks of clean eating! But it's a funny little way I am able to trick my brain. Maybe it will work for you with the popcorn.
Good luck, hope to hear from you again!
