Hey Bytsi-
Don't be so hard on yourself! The work you are doing is making you hungry!!!! I have totally been where you're at and gotten so down on myself. I think your idea to cut back to two lifting days a week is a good one. Maybe just do 2 days of lifting and karate and see if you are able to be more compliant in your diet.
I love lifting too, and I was getting a little depressed this weekend because I was thinking how lifting and running had transformed my image of myself from a fat chick into an athlete. When I was walking on Saturday morning and thinking I'd rather run because I feel like a wimp just walking, I reminded myself - an athlete does what their coach tells them to do.
You are still strong and still and athlete even if you decide you should push yourself a little less hard.
