    Well i have learned how to have pizza and other delish foods that I used to go nuts over. I put some space between those foods for about 3 months, and now i started little by little bringing them back in. I guess i could have been doing that sooner, but thats what i did as i learned little by little.

    You still have to get over the diet mentallity to make it, so that you dont go back to your old ways, or else you will go back to your old ways and a binge will turn into your old ways and you will regain all your weight lost. thats when people say diets dont work. and then they regain all the weight. plus some.

    so the secret is, we have to be around food. we have to find a way to not be fearful of food, even learn how to deal with our triggers. I have found a way to deal with my triggers. like they dont trigger me anymore. not sure what happened. i think i learned to live without them.. learned that they didn't control me. learned to like other stuff. learned to budget them into my weekly food. learned that i can have them once a week or whatever as long as i have calories. maybe thats it. i dunno. its something that i had to kind of find my way myself. i had to find my own way, apply some ideas i learned here, toss out other ideas that didn't work for me that other people did here, did some experimentation, took some chances, went cold turkey, did moderation, but today it all is working out. my stomach shrank, so i dont even have room for too big of a splurge. i guess i now treasure a lot of different food that tastes yummy.

    so the fact that you are still looking for a binge, tells me that you still are letting food control you.. you have to learn how to manage it. i think maybe learn to have a little bit at a time. find a way to budget some pizza. like get a few slices of thin pizza ,, you can have more. dont be deprived ,, maybe thats it. if something bugs you so much, maybe its better to indulge a bit. so find a way to do that.

    hey right now im craving grilled steak and stuff and i had some just now.. tasted great!
