Mainly a lurker here but I enjoy reading :)
There are some low carb forums that have a paleo area for paleo
discussion/support. One that I know of is Active Low Carbers, at
lowcarb.org (IIRC)
You're never going to avoid being around foods that might be tempting to
you. A wise person once said to me that falling off plan is part of the
plan. It happens. What matters is that you learn something from the
experience and then apply it. Eventually, foods that you used to enjoy
that you now realize make you feel crappy just aren't all that appealing
anymore. It has nothing to do with being strict, or 'good'. It's just
about what you want.
If you want to have a piece of yellow cake now and then and don't mind
that it makes you feel nasty, then that's up to you (I did the same
thing with potato chips for a long, long time!) I eat mainly meat and
fat, and not because I'm dogmatic about a certain WOE or have loads of
willpower. It's just because I feel better this way, and other foods
stopped appealing to me. Also when faced with choices, I don't weight
them in terms of 'does this fit on my eating plan?' but rather 'do I
want to eat this?' and if it's something I know my body tolerates and I
feel like eating it, I eat it. If it's something I know my body is going
to feel crap after eating, I don't, because I prefer feeling good and
that's become more important to me than satisfying an urge.
