Deprivation: How do you deal with it?

I get all caught up on the idea / emotion of feeling deprived.

I've dieted for a loooong time and I think this is what's at the heart of my roller coaster of good days vs. bad days. Always enough bad days to keep me from suceeding and so I feel constantly deprived.

I've just received a new eating plan from a nationally recognized trainer and coach and my carb intake has been SERIOUSLY cut back. What's funny is that I don't really eat very many carbs - a slice of bread in the morning on some days, a couple of pieces of fruit, black beans or baked potatoes here and there. Yet somehow I feel in a PANIC over not being able to eat these things more often, even though under normal circumstances I wouldn't. It makes me feel seriously crazy!!!

Can anyone relate? If so, are you working on it? Have you overcome the emotional aspect of deprivation/dieting? I would certainly welcome some tips...I think this is my biggest emotional roadblock to weight loss and I need to find a way to change my thinking to seeing self-nurturing instead of 'life's not fair' deprivation.
