    I'm guessing water ice = ice lolly = ice block = frozen confection depending on your country of origin. You misquoted by inserting the forward slash.

    That makes more sense. :) I've never heard it called that before.

    Honestly, I'd be eating way better if I had half of your triggers.

    My food addiction is serve . It’s no joke . I realized it today. I thought I was able to have kale chips cauliflower chips and these things called pop- chips made of of popcorn. That’s a no. This will be new addition. Flavored creamer has to go along with the cappuccino Kcups

    Pain is my biggest trigger. I did some research that while your body heals from trauma it requires more calories. After surgeries or even just hurting myself I got straight to food.
    Anxiety and boredom play into it too and I crave carbs badly. I make sure not to even buy crackers because I will go straight for them.

    Free delicious food at work.
    When I was a child, money was tight and frugality was the order of the day. Eons later, I am financially secure but grow much of my own food and continue to watch my pennies. Now, most work days include meals from posh caterers and endless high-end treats; the poor kid in me doesn't want to miss out. That's my biggest food struggle and I am constantly working on it.

    I feel that: A side branch of my hedonism is FOMO, which makes things like potlucks and buffets dangerous. I'm lucky (?) not to have anything in my life like your challenging work environment, though. I can see how that would be hard.

    internalizing the sense that future Ann is a real person I care about, and that I need to behave now in ways that will let her feel really good, too.

    This is a great point!!
