Food Frenemies

My food frenemy is chips. I have a love/hate relationship with chips. I know for me I only last so long on a healthy eating plan when I vow to stop forever eating my frenemies like chips. But now that I realize that I have a twisted relationship with chips I can better plan our meetings.
  • Eat only a set number of times per week to quench my thirst
  • Eat from a bowl instead of a bag
  • Realize that if I want this relationship to change it can. I don't have to let chips be my weakness. I can just like them and choose to partake sometimes.
So what are your food frenemies and what is your long term plan for creating a better relationship for now and forever more?

    Candy and sweets....... Try not to have any in the house...... Using dried apricots and frozen yogurt bars as sweets..... Chips.... I only buy portion control snacks..... Or weigh each serving and then log each portion..... Eating in front of the TV or reading are two habits I am working on.... This week goal is to eat only at dining room table....

    Food in general for me! I love to eat & especially if I'm stressed out! Comfort with anything type of food. I am learning to have more Veggies & Fruit handy & if that doesn't kill the craving, I go for protein. I always have something handy in the fridge these days. Loving food is my Frenemy! :'(

    . Omg, I used to be an ice cream freak. I stopped most dairy and it was easier stopping cheese but it was so difficult stopping ice cream. So I completely understand the need to cold turkey.
