    Moderation is something that I have been trying to deal with lately, I too have trigger foods that I find I cannot just have one of or even five if for that matter, I have no off button with something's and they all happen to be sweet (except chips). I have this internal monologue that will be playing in my head of me telling myself I can have just one and then telling myself one more and that's it. Finally I'm just telling myself to finish it so I don't have to think about it any more. Before a couple of months ago I couldn't just have one can of soda, ever. Today I went to a party and had one can and the monologue started in my head and I just shut it down and forced myself to think of something else. It worked! I feel like moderation only exists for me now because I'm absolutely sick of letting that voice inside my head telling me it won't hurt to eat one more win.

    We'll I had been doing well with moderation until tonight when my husband and I ordered BDubs...one wing led to another and another until all of mine were gone...Woops! At least "tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it." I'll just work extra hard at the gym to make me feel better :)

    But other foods I struggle with are those creme wafer cookies with the sugar icing in between the wafers...Yum! But I've been good and not bought them in a loooong time!
