    When you say trigger it makes me think of foods that people can't ingest, as in people with intolerances. I just avoid all my triggers so I don't get ill.

    But when you talk about foods that make you eat the whole packet/jar etc then what I do is not stock those items. My biggest craving would be noodles, which I eat one packet but has a high calorie content or a hot chocolate made with hot water.

    I don't really binge and avoid binging at all costs. Yes I will fall down but stress can be the reason and I try to exercise before binging.

    Marshmallows!

    My sister opened up a pack last night and she shoved a handful towards me and I stayed strong! Just kept thinking 'I don't have the calories!!'

    Sea Salt and Crushed Black peppercorn Kettle Chips. I have no self control when it comes to them, especially after a few glasses of wine. I just buy them very occasionally when I'm at the supermarket and when they are gone, too bad, i'll have enjoyed them and know no more for a month or something.

    Pizza I guess would be mine. I avoid binging by having it once every 2 weeks. 2-3 slices or a small personal sized one.

    Peanut M&Ms... if they sold the big packages here, I would be in trouble! The little 30g ones are fine as an occasional treat. :)

    Salted kettle chips with french onion dip also comes to mind...

    "Trigger" - that's an interesting word to use......

    Anyhow, mine is chocolate and cakes.

    Dried dates
    Peanut Butter
    Almond Butter
    Raisins
    Dried figs
    Nuts

    if I combine them with other food, I am ok.
    if I dont, I can eat tons and tons until I get sick.

    White bread, you know the lovely, squishy, soft stuff? I cant have it anywhere near me especially if there's marmite in the house!

    If i buy a big bag of something i just have to eat it all no question about it, if i buy a fruit loath or hot cross buns i eat them all because I worry if I don't eat them they will go off, if I buy a big pot of fattening yogurt I have to eat it all and if I buy a multi pack of sweets I have to eat them all. May i should just buy smaller packs huh?

    there's too many for me... ^_^'

    the worst are... I'd say... anything with Pizza dough (pizza, foccacia, pizza dough balls with cream cheese), cheeseburgers, french fries, pastas, crackers and bagels... any carbs in fact :explode:
