I don't know what to blame it on either, but I've been off my game recently too. I know what you mean about the good old days when I didn't worry at all about what I ate. I was always gaining or losing the same five pounds back then, but the swing was all within the "healthy" range. I've been trying to distract myself to get past the cravings. It helps to not have anything "bad" in the house, but I still overeat. 

MWard, I made a point to clear out my pantry and restock it only with healthy food. Pizza and General Tao's chicken keep calling my name. Didn't help that Pizza Hut offered me a free medium pizza because I hadn't ordered in over 6 months. I hated giving up on free food. So I picked it up and only ate the toppings, no crust. Then I felt guilty and wasteful to boot. Hey if I can't blame the heat, maybe the full moon instead. I force myself to stick to my daily schedule the best I can. I keep a written journal and each morning set my goals. Just feel like this week I am spinning my wheels and getting nowhere fast. Emotional eater so I have to watch myself when I get this way. I can be my own worst enemy. 

OMG - I don't think I could resist a free pizza either. I sometimes make a "FatHead" pizza to satisfy the cravings. It's much lower in carbs, but plenty of calories and I can never limit myself to 2 slices. I also get in trouble making other "legal" keto/low carb recipes. Low carb is often high calorie especially when you double and triple the portion sizes. Sometimes I've found that it's better to give in to a craving because I will "eat around" it to resist. Know what I mean? Like if I'm craving ice cream I might eat some plain yogurt for a substitute, but that doesn't hit it, so I might have some cottage cheese, and now I've eaten just as many calories than I would have if I ate the ice cream in the first place, plus I still haven't satisfied the craving. I've been doing the morning journaling and goal setting too. It does help.
