What's YOUR Trigger Food?
There are foods that some of us just can't touch, because we can't stop eating them. Even if we try to keep a low amount, we just eat until they are gone.
My Triggers are:
French Fries (I can't have even a bite or I will binge on a pound)
Popcorn (I will eat a large bucket, AND the refill)
Goldfish Crackers (I don't get it, but I can eat a couple of bags.
I have lost over 100 pounds, but I will still overeat these three foods, so I just don't touch them unless I am prepared for it.
Reason: Moved from Weight Loss to Foods forum
My triggers are: Sugar, artificial sweeteners and fruit
When I am on a binge, I can eat a whole box of cereal too!!
- Cereal, particularly Puffins.
- White rice
cereal, bread, crackers, oatmeal - all carby crud like that
and peanut butter and cheese
Triggers:
- Salmon (I will eat about a pound + until I feel like my tummy is about to pop)
- Sashimi (It never makes me feel full until after I eat 2 sashimi deluxe platters of 24 pieces or so EACH!)
- Cabbage (makes me more hungry after I eat it)
- Bell Peppers (same as the cabbage problem)
- My Dad's Puttenesca Sauce (When I clear the table & put food away, I will always sneak bites of this, even when I am completely STUFFED!)
- My Dad's Clam Sauce (Same as the Puttenesca)
* I think it has to do with the abundance of olive oil!
- A large salad topped with Flax/Mustard Dressing (and I mean A LOT OF IT!)
- Grass-Fed Bison & Beef burgers!!!!
- Grilled veggies! :) (Ohhh, can't wait until the summer!!)
Cereal and anything high in sugar or simple starches.
Sadly, food itself is my only trigger. :(
But I'm working to change that.
I can't stop eating grapes once I start, but I can't think of any right now other than that (though I'm sure there are plenty)
When I used to binge though, crisps were a terrible trigger for me and I'd eat like, four bags in a row and a bunch of other stuff. I haven't touched them for ages because I'm so scarred that they're what made me binge >< They might not have been, but thinking that means I don't eat them and I don'y binge, so who cares? xD
Potato chips - generally not things like Lays, the fried ones, I don't like those.. but ones that are marketed healthy. Blegh.
Snack mix is a killer, or cookies, etc.
