Fell off the wagon

So I'm a 2nd year medical student. Last year, prior to starting school, I had managed to lose about 10 lbs on the No-S diet. I was very proud, as I had been approaching the overweight side of things. Gradually, though, school and stress took its toll, and I gained back the 10 lbs and added another 10 or so. Needless to say, this does not please me. I do exercise fairly regularly, between 4-6 days/week for about 60 min at a time.
Clearly, it's my eating habits that have changed. I've started doing the No S diet again, two weeks ago, and I'm doing ok; I still have some bad habits to re-break.
I think what confuses me the most is that my clothes still fit, so it's easy to get complacent.
Breakfast - non-fat yogurt, coffee, nuts, fruit (banana, apple, etc).
Lunch - left overs of some sort or a salad
Dinner - varies, but my husband likes to cook. We eat relatively well; our problem is that we don't watch our portion size as well as we should.
I guess I'm just putting myself out there for some moral support. Also, I'm procrastinating; I have an exam on Monday.
