    Trigger foods would be.... French bread (Cuisine de France), anything to do with Chocolate (Nutella, bars of White chocolate, McVities Choco Caramel Digestives, etc), Almond Butter (as I'm allergic to Peanut butter, but that doesn't stop me either).... Sigh.

    Been eating more French bread and Chocolate than usual lately, but I'm close to my GW. I will work them off, am sure.

    Mmmm, chocolate... <3

    Fresh, sweet cherries - but I wouldn't say they were a trigger or a bad thing. I CAN stop, I just don't want to. It's just somewhat of an expensive thing to be endlessly grazing on.

    I wish fruits were less expensive....but they're worth it. Have you tried a farmer's market?

    Trigger foods during my period: cookies/biscuits, bread and cheese, and peanut butter. Other than that, when I'm not overly hormonally charged, I don't really have trigger foods.

    "Natural" White Cheddar Cheetos. I still buy them but when I do, I just accept the fact that I'm going to finish the whole bag in a day since they're not very filling.

    I don't really have trigger foods, the above is the closest I come. I can stop, but it takes more willpower for chips and salsa than anything else I eat.

    Peanut Butter, Reese's Chocolate Peanut Butter Spread. I've been going through major self-control issues with food recently, and these (especially the Reese's) were both hard to turn away. Although I did very well last night, just portioned out some of the Reese's for dessert, and didn't go back for more. But even now, while I'm at work, I'm wishing I had the jar, a spoon, and a 3000 calorie deficit to fill.

    I believe in everything in moderation but there are some foods that I just don't go near or buy at all anymore because no matter what I always end up eating way more than I meant to.

    1. orange juice-I looove it despite the fact I'm allergic to it
    2. subway sandwich "footlong"- I always tell myself Ill save the other half for later and never do
    3. egg nog- my own personal holiday enemy
    4. take home pizzas like digornios or tombstone-Just one slice, yeah right

    And every time I'm at the grocery store I have to do that battle with myself, no don't buy it, who cares that its on sale, you're not going to eat just a little bit, don't even stand here and lie to yourself.

    So I was just interested in knowing other people's trigger foods


    Can't? None.

    Choose not to? There can be several, depending to my level of future thinking in the particular moment.

    I don't like to mix my "can'ts" and my "I don't wannas"

    Ice cream for me, for sure. Also salty stuff like chips or Smartfood popcorn. And carbs. And Oreos.

    It used to be chocolate, but I don't eat too many sweets anymore, THANK GOD! Now, it's pita chips and hummus, which in theory is healthy for you...IN MODERATION! Yeah, I'm not sure what that is.
    Also, wine. I know we're talking about food, but I love a glass of wine with dinner every night. And usually a second glass about an hour and a half before I go to bed.

    Cookies are a huge problem for me and when I'm on my period whatever I eat becomes a binge. Last night I told myself I could have 2 oreos and I ate the whole sleeve. Best for me to keep the goodies out of my cabinets
