We all have foods that we love and just aren’t allowed to eat much of anymore. It could be that half a pizza, or a huge burrito, or a bag of chips, or a pan of brownies.

How do you handle it when you’re faced with one of your old trigger foods, or you have a craving for it? Are you one of the people who can have just a bite and be satisfied? Or does “a bite” throw you off and turn into “a binge?”

And, what are your tips for preventing binges due to cravings?

So for me if a cake etc was at home that i liked - i'd keep picking at it all the time- so i don't buy them. However i can have a little bit of birthday cake or a couple of chocolates at someone elses's place/party and then not have anymore or and doing that doesn't trigger me rushing to the shops to buy more.

So i don't deny myself a little bit if it's not at my house but i avoid buying them to be kept at home. I have a family though who still have treats - i just get ones i don't like so i'm not tempted i.s. ice-cream flavors i don't like, chocolate with nuts in that i can't stand but my family likes etc.

So yes i can have one and leave it at that outside of the home, but if it's staring me in the face (or hiding in the cupboard!) at home or in my office desk drawers then no i can't control myself.

I am the same way about nuts. I literally buy 1 single serving pack at a time. I make it my post work out treat because I can swing by the store after the gym. I'm sure I look crazy coming into Walgreens every day and buying 1 pack of nuts, but if I bought 5 packs on Monday, I'd gobble the all up by Monday evening.

@@Ashlegal - Yep, I was a disordered eater. It was amazing how long I could go without eating. Yesterday I was having an off day. I accidentally overslept and before I realized it, it was 4:30 and I hadn't eaten.
