I am 15 months out lost 111 lbs (recently gained 3 lbs) and for the past 6 days I want to eat everything!!!  This has never happened before and it's making me nervous.  Yes I feel the restriction but I wait a bit and it goes away.  I don't know whether it's due to wanting foods that I haven't had in 15 months or something else.
Any ideas?

Anything going on emotionally? Are you actually hungry or just wanting to eat? It could be a way for your body to tell you it needs more calories/nutrition or it could just be something emotional.

I've had days like that, it sucks, but usually it passes.

At about this same time frame, my hunger returned.  It is possible that you are thirsty or you need to take a stronger acid blocker.  Both acid and thirst can mimic hunger.  If you have eliminated both of these possibilities, you will need to come up with a strategy that deals with the hunger.  I eat more veggies than I did before the hunger returned.  I now often incorporate veggie snacks into my day.  I also make lower calorie foods to increase the volume and decrease the calories.  Some days are worse than others.  I hope this helps.  Also, could you be close to your TOM?  That also changes hunger and restriction for me.

Cut out carbs.  See if that helps.  Try the 5 day pouch test.

thanks everyone for your suggestions and support.  I acutally got over my "wanting to eat everything" and have lost the 3 lbs I gained and actually lost another pound.  I guess I was just getting bored with what I was eating and my head hunger was taking over.  But, I am back on track and only 2 lbs away from my second goal.
