Friend Makin’ Mondays: Trigger Foods
- Are there foods in your life that always seem to trigger overeating? Yep! I don't know that I have ever met someone without trigger foods!
- If so, what are they? Oreos, E.L. Fudge Cookies, York Peppermint Patties
- When are you most likely to give into strong cravings? Probably when I am in the car driving long-ish distances
- Are you more likely to be triggered by salty foods or sugary foods? No doubt - sugar!
- How do you get back on track after overeating? I just track it, make a plan and move on. Most of the time, the plan involves eating as many whole foods as I can for as many days in a row as possible.
- Are there any foods that you allow yourself to eat without limits? Nope. I have to measure everything or I will definitely go off the deep end.
- Do you notice a change in your emotions while eating trigger foods? I haven't ever really thought about it... I guess I would say that I am happy while I am eating it. However, as soon as the last piece of cookie, etc. is gone I am terribly sad, upset, disappointed.
- Do you have a strategy to keep yourself from overeating trigger foods? I do my best to avoid my trigger foods in general. If I am in a situation where I feel like indulging, I purchase an individual pack of the item at a convenience store so that I have a set amount... No purchasing big packs of cookies or bags of Peppermint Patties!

Stopping by from Friend Making Monday. I like your strategy to help you from overeating the trigger foods. I'm going to have to try that!
ReplyDeleteI agree with ylanthe - buying a small package or individual size of something is a great idea to satisfy a craving and not get out of control.
ReplyDeleteFudge cookies! I love the gooey in the center, melt in your mouth kind of fudge cookies. HELLO TRIGGER!

And we have some things in common! I always was a wanna-be runner, but never really set it into motion. Likewise, I always wanted to run a Disney race since I like just an hour away. It wasn't until I went to Epcot on Feb 26th, 2012 and saw the finish of the Princess half that everything changed. I broke into tear as I cheered everyone on, and I walked away from the course knowing it was what I needed to do. I am now training for the Tower of Terror 10 Miler in September.
DeleteGood luck to you!

ReplyDeleteLike you sugar does it for me, that is why I try my hardest not to have any in the house
I think single serving size bags are so important. As you are aware, there are just certain foods that, no matter how large the container, they are single serving portions.
