I don't know if I would call it cheating which is why I put the word cheating in quotes. The one thing that I know will definitely send me to the bathroom is milk (ice cream, skim, whole, etc.--blood tests show that I'm NOT lactose intolerant) I think atlantic salmon sends me to the loo as well. Other than that, if I eat things that I eat on long weekends or the things I ate on Thanksgiving on a day before knowing that I have to leave the house (which mean weeknights since I work the next day) or if I'm eating foods like that (even safe foods!) and I'm not at home, my mind will start to convince me that maybe I shouldn't have eaten that and so then I start to make my gut go into convulsions. (Thanksgiving was at my sister's house and she lives right around the corner from me). I was actually nervous about going to her house (I've only been there over 100 times) and I don't know why. When the nerves went away, the hunger kicked in and I ate.
That's why I said that my anxiety plays a whole lot in this game. Of course, I've been following the diet's regimen in avoiding certain foods but even safe foods I won't eat while at work because my mind is convinced that it'll make me sick and ultimately it would. If I have to run chores or go to a movie, I make sure not to eat until I know I'm staying put at home. As you can see, I'm very mental!
