It *is* strange that you're packing a few extra pounds after eating FF-like
for many years but the fact that you've lost nearly 10 lbs
(congratulations!!!) in a month of FF'ing *with awareness* suggests to me
that awareness is going to be the key to beating my own weight problem. I've
read that once I've lost weight, I'll need to eat pretty much the same way
(as I did while losing weight) for as long as I want to keep the weight off.
I guess it pays to enjoy the "diet" I'm on because I'll be on it for a
loooong time....
Thanks for the update.
