Sounds like your body and mind are pulling you in two different directions. Which is quite normal.
You've centered your life around eating for a very long time now, and now, although at this stage, it still is about eating, it's eating in a different way, which is soooo confusing.
You now must "eat to live", not "live to eat", which was what it was for you before. Can you see the difference?
It's best not to be concerned at this stage that you will not lose, or gain again somewhere, because you are going to lose whatever you do. Of course, you'll have bumps and humps, that's part of the journey too.
Hmmm. Let me see. Lisa/fr1endly2 once wrote an ode to food. Have you read it? You may be able to relate to that. I'll go check and link the thread here later.
Relax, take it easy, hang in there, you are doing very well!!
