Well done spangly! Your carbs point is so true. When I started LL I was given a bag of my favourite sweets from NZ. You know the ones - the sweets from your childhood that you associate with being young and happy and in the sun (NZ is always sunny in my head!). At the time I was given them (by a kind friend who had gone to NZ on holiday and didn't know I was doing LL) I decided to put them away, keep them safe and keep them only for me, for when this diet was over. That was my mindset then. I saw the diet as a means to an end - that eventually i would be able to eat whatever I wanted. So the sweets sat in cupboard - everyone knew they were mine and not to eat them. I looked at them from time to time and reminded myself that I could have them when i reached goal. I had thoughts of eating them all up on the day I reached goal with a nice big mug of tea.
So goal day comes - I look at the sweets - and realise that I don't want them. I truly did not want them, I didn't even want to try one. All that time, they had been there as a reminder of what I was allowed to have at a later date and when that day came I didn't actually want them at all. My tastes had changed for the better, my views on carbs had changed and I wanted to protect this new body rather than sabotage my hard work. So the sweets were handed out to to the family who all said they hated them (food in NZ is differently flavoured and the chocolate has a different melting point...) except number one child who thought they were "ok". he ate them all...
So my point is: make a pile, a cupboard or a box of all the things you have wanted to eat. Keep it for yourself, no one else can touch it and it is yours to have when you reach goal. When you get there, get out the box and see how you feel about eating those things then. I bet you won't be nearly as keen as you are today. But you still have the right to choose to eat it. You might be surprised how well this works.
