Trigger Foods
Trigger foods are a touchy issue around dieting. They are foods that you crave when you are stressed or multi-tasking or not paying attention and when you start to eat them, you cannot stop. My trigger food is Crunchy Cheetos (the nuclear orange colored ones.) When I am working on a work related problem or a financial issue, I need something crunchy, and if they are around the house I will reach for the Cheetos and before I know it, a whole bag is gone. In reality I will hunt for any crunchy salty snack when I am in one of these craving moods--so beware Wheat Thins, Tortilla Chips or Popcorn. I am coming. Of course, I feel horrible afterwards. So I don't buy any of that stuff any more. You cannot find it in my house. What are your trigger foods and how do you manage your craviings?

ReplyDeleteMy trigger foods are soda and fast food. Before this class I would rotate through the fast food restaurants at least 3x a week. It could be 10 o'clock at night and I would jump in my car, drive to McDonald's for a large combo and proceed to devour the entire meal. I had no problem satisfying my cravings in the moment and only felt remorse for my growing size. After going through the first weight loss challenge, I now can say I have no qualms about ordering a salad and enjoying it.
