help!!! im craving bad!

I'm a eat it if you have calories for it person, BUT if it's a 'trigger' for you and you know you could get set off into a binge, do NOT do it.

Unless you're willing to exercise it off, just leave it alone.

Trigger foods may have to be dealt with someday, but that's probably best handled on a calm day with a clear head, not when you're already tired from work. Just being tired can make you want to eat (even when you're not really hungry).

I suppose i could take another look at my intake and just bring another healthy snack tomorrow. I think its mainly just that i got so addicted to fast food though because i ate really well today and im not feeling hungry really. I used to hit drive thru at least twice a day. It was bad! And not normal portions or healthy options either. So i feel if i have it now, even a bit it would get out of control again. When i started here i told myself no drive thru. Even if i want something different than what's in my kitchen, id much rather go to the grocery store and make it myself so its healthier. sorry for my grammar slip ups, i am writing from a cell phone right now. thanks guys for your help!

Telling yourself "no drive thru" or no anything really, is a recipe for disaster. As aforementioned, this is a lifestyle change. Unless you are planning on giving up fast food forever and ever amen, don't make it a limitation.

Actually, some of us did give up fast food. I haven't had any for two years. It was one of those things that I could not do once in a while.

That's exactly what I was saying. I wasn't being sarcastic when I said "unless you're planning on giving up fast food forever."

I used to work in an office that brought in the most AMAZING pastries a few times a week. So I started this mantra. "I'm just not going to have that, today. I can get it in the future if I want to."

So, just don't get Taco Bell today, you can get it in the future if you want to.

Thanks guys for all your help! It's great to know there is support if I'm having a bad day. I actually got off work and went straight home to make some cooked veggies. It does feel good knowing that I resisted and I saved money! Thanks again!
