I just joined today:) What do you think of the 3 day on 3 day off plan?

I don't know alot about what the body does when it thinks it's starving. I am not counting calories but I find whenever I want to loose weight I go from one extreme of not eating to the other extreme of eating everything. I'm finding this past couple of weeks that I am probly not eating enough calories throughout the day because I'm starving at night. I have been telling myself I will eat one helping at supper and the second helping I will save for lunch the next day. I am down 8 lbs in 2 weeks. I really don't think this will be a healthy way to maintain a weight loss and I know in the long run it won't work. I just can't break my all or nothing eating habits. This all or nothing attitude carries over into alot of aspects of my life too.
So, I noticed I was eating good for several days and then we went out of town for the weekend and I ate at Culvers and a Pizza joint and then TGI Fridays. I ate good during the day but then had big suppers with not so good choices. However, I did gain 2 lbs as of Monday and now today I am back down 2 lbs.
During the day it's very easy for me to forget and get too busy to eat. Then come supper I am so hungry i make very poor choices because I'm starving. I'm trying hard to eat breakfast. Today was not a good breakfast day because I found myself consumed with getting support to eat better and therefore my day was all about getting support and not taking time to eat right. I didn't consume many calories today but I skipped breakfast, lunch and had a few snacks and the eggs and toast and fruit for supper. What I ate today was not bad choices but just not enough calories. I don't want my body to think it's starving but I can't seem to be consistent with eating right everyday. So how about the 3 day off and 3 day on diet. What's the pro's and con's.
Sorry so long.
