What’s going on?
Lately I’ve been eating more junk than I normally allow in my diet…not sure if it is the weather/change of season..or body just tired of me trying to control the calories and rebelling at this point..I haven’t really been THAT strict on myself so not sure if the rebelling really is the reason….my usual habit is to eat clean for a few days then reward myself with something I’ve been craving..like some ice cream/piece of cake.etc…never a huge buffet type meal or anything…and I’ve always been able to manage it and not really gain weight…well, I take that back..I do gain a couple pounds here and there, but I can and do usually just do more cardio to burn off the excess calories right away, no problem…the same day I consume the extra calories, I normally am in the gym doing enough cardio to burn them off…I also do pretty well with drinking a gallon of h2o a day…but this past week I have hit a wall I guess…while I have indulged in some not so "clean" diet choices, (nothing out of the norm) I have also kicked my a** in the gym with extra cardio and have kept up with my workouts which normally keeps me out of trouble with weight gain…yet this week I have managed to go up continuously on the scale despite my efforts to redeem myself from the diet stumbles…I know that the scale doesn’t tell the whole truth of what’s going on in our body and we shouldn’t only go by what it says…but, while still writing down what I eat and monitoring calories, this week I have just creeped up..and up…hmmm…this is not the norm for me…so I took my waist measurement the last couple days, waist is the same…so I’m hoping the extra calories have been put to good use, in the form of muscle building 
…hey, a girl can dream, right?

I hear ya. My diet difficulties of late are stress related. Nighttime munching when I getting some downtime & letting the stress get the best of me. Nothing for it……Work hard & use other outlets.

I struggle with clean eating around the season changes as well. Especially when the weather turns cooler, my body craves those comfort carbs (the not good ones lol). so staying on track is a little harder and I really have to be conscious of it otherwise it can get quite out of hand.

Sadly I can live without the peanut butter. lol But I think we’re all finding it hard this time of year. It’s hibernation time and trying to get the body to think like it’s still bikini season is hard. lol You’re not alone my dear!

If I didn’t have natty peanut butter I would loose my mind. Good fat, protein and a good source of easy calories for a bulk.
I don’t have the craving thing. I don’t know what to tell you to do about it.
I am the lowest of toads….er…crabs.

Jar of nat peanunt butter and a large spoon please.
I know what you mean though, I have been having the same diet meltdown the last week or so…I guess more focus would be the answer for me…or a big sweatshirt. lol
