Ended up having a full day of binging the day before my weigh in at the bariatrician's office. To be fair, I only ate off plan because my power went out due to some construction or whatever down the road. But I could have chosen to get healthier food than I did. And I could have chosen a single portion instead of bringing home enough leftovers to take a full day off of my diet. Since I was taking a strong Banaba leaf supplement that my doctor gave me it didn't dramatically affect the scale.

Unfortunately it knocked me out of ketosis and I'm having some serious carb cravings. -_- Fortunately I'm broke and don't have any more junk food in my house so I pretty much have to stick to the plan now but I'm still going insane.

I'm going to go exercise to distract myself when my gym opens. Does anyone have other methods for controlling their cravings?

I think your idea of going to the gym is a good one. I often will go for a walk, or otherwise occupy myself physically when I have cravings. Since I'm religious, I will sometimes simply promise God "I won't eat that today" and since I don't want to break a promise to God that pretty much keeps me in line. But cravings are the worst. Good luck!

I feel MUCH better after the swim, I think part of the problem was that I was incredibly bored but it's too hot outside for a hike.

don't let 1 meal, 1 day or 1 weekend derail you. If 80% of your meals are great you should see positive results. That's 8 or 9 meals a week if you slip up. Long term thought process has really helped me.
