    - my only secret right now is to not say no to myself. I've recently discovered I am much like a 5 year old child, and if I tell myself I can't have something, I rebel and eat as much of it as possible! So right now, no foods are off limits, I try to stick to 1-2 servings, and if I still want more, I tell myself the food will still be there tomorrow! I may be going over my calorie goal a bit, but I'll take this over bingeing any day!

    I didnt catch that but yes, it is appropriate :) It was a tough course, lots of hills, but I really loved that race. Finished on the 50 yard line of Neyland Stadium.

    Yes, they are fair game as well. It's extremely hard at first, which is why I had some slip ups before this miraculous streak. But I find that, once I get used to it, I can enjoy my trigger foods in moderation. I do better with eating trigger foods rather then saying to myself, "no you absolutely can't have that", because then I just want it more!

    I've found the same thing. When I brought trigger foods back into my life, I binged less because I always knew it was there and available to me as opposed to telling myself no and going out of control once I ended up having said food item.

    Thanks for the advice you guys! I bought a sort of "medium level" trigger food at the store today because it looked really really good...and managed to have one serving today. Usually I eat the whole container in one go! I literally remember thinking last time I had some in the house "I'd better not eat any, because then I'll HAVE to eat all of it"
