Gaining

Reigning in your appetite and cravings

I know this is not a stereotypical question for people with our interests, but hopefully someone has experience with it.

Recently, I’ve really enjoyed a bit of indulging and gaining. I want to gain a little more, but eventually, I’d like to stop gaining.

Here’s the hiccup: my appetite and cravings have grown, and now support *gaining*, not maintaining. After a few more lbs (probably 5-15), I’ll want to maintain.

Does anyone have experience in successfully reducing their appetite or cravings?


The only thing I’ve found that ever reigned in my appetite and cravings was a long backcountry trip—I lost quite a bit of weight, and my cravings along with it.

(I’ve read plenty of the “Just give in and enjoy it” stuff over the years, and that’s just not what i want to do, so I’d appreciate it if we didn’t go there)
