I have the opposite, I eat too much, even when I am not physically hungry.

I think you are right about "once you don't eat for a little while ... you have that urge to stop." That's the only way I have been able to stay on a diet. If I can cut down for three days, the urge to eat plummets, so I think you should try to avoid gaps.

For what it's worth, and this is not very healthy, i remember reading once that Natalie Wood had a hard time keeping from losing weight, and she used to eat a lot of ice cream to keep her weight up.
