    What do you do about trigger foods? are those fair game too?


    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"

    First off, I just want to say, we all pretty much killed it, everyone did a great job this month!!

    Some improvements I am proud of this month:
    Made it a month binge-free (woohoo!)
    Ate around/ a little less than maintainence calories, incorporating treats and triggers into my diet, and basically allowed myself to eat whatever I wanted and kept the binge at bay
    Still keeping up with my New Years resolution, I have tracked all my food for the past 3 months!! (This is a big one for me!)
    Got into a nice workout routine

    Things to work on in April:
    Differentiating stress hunger from real hunger
    Keeping up the early morning workout routine
    Possibly cut back on calories if I stop losing weight.

    Also great job! Easing into allowing trigger food is hard, but so worth it! This is a great first step!
