Hi Anj, welcome!
I can't say we can help, but we'll try. And if youve been lurking for a while, you know that often posting with menu's and info about what plan you are following might be useful.
Most of the LC plans have some way that you are legally allowed to add in foods after an initial "induction" Or some, like Protein Power, Schwartzbein, or south Beach, have you eating some carbs along the way each day.
Can you solve your"cheat" problem by allowing yourself more protein and fat snacks, you know, like a legal cheat-ham and cheese roll ups, boiled eggs, cheese, celery and peanut butter? I don't know what plan you're on so it's hard. Myab eyou're eating too much. Maybe you're eating too little. drinking water? eating too many bars/or fake foods?
As for carb-cheating, that is harder. When I am good I can get away with fruit or 4 or 5 triscuits with cheese(15g.carb) for a snack. But donuts and ice cream can follow if I'm not careful to watch for cravings and hunger. I can't let myself get too hungry.
keep up the good work, 40 lbs is great. maybe you just need a break.
post your plan and food, and jump on over to the Daily thread, to say hi, and give an update .
