"This is a rhetorical question, yes I know the answer"

Something i struggle with after doing cycle tours or long walks, other adventures, is i cannot stop eating and drinking, it's just so good. I suppose my answer is more adventures. How do you cope?

Once I have my next Camino date locked in..........

...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
Traditionally, back in the day, explorers would try and put a couple of stones on before they left as they knew they would lose lots of weight .... walking long distances every day? we need fuel, it burns off.

Though for you the problem would seem to be oral sensual desires - deal with that and the cravings will disappear (so they say).

Eating fruit instead of other more filling things when you get the munchies can help but agree with Robo that the real incentive is locking in your next camino!
 
I always found that I'd eat well on Camino to fuel me up for the next day's walk and lose a considerable amount of weigh on each trip.
The problem is post Camino when you don't need those extra calories but still eat like you do. Now that my long distance walking days are over it's a struggle to maintain my sylph like figure!
