I'm not sure if "trigger"'s the right word to use here, but what I mean is what odd foods do you find yourself eating uncontrollably? I mean I think ice cream or pizza are pretty normal addictive foods but one weird thing I find myself binging on is the Lifesaver Pep O mints! I literally could sit there & eat the whole bag! It's bad! Any odd food you can't get enough of that you think is out of the norm??

    Saltines. I will eat every last one in the house. So I don't keep them in the house.

    Not really a weird or surprising trigger, I love cookies lots of folks love cookies but with

    Trader Joe's/ Joe Joe cookies, the chocolate ones, YUM!!!!.... I just keep going. I can't stop.

    The odd thing is I also love Trader Joe's chocolate cats cookies for people but I can have a few of those and stop.

    Animal crackers aren't unusual. They're in the same category as cookies and chips.

    I'll binge on literally anything edible. I drank 5 cups of unsweet soymilk today, ate 3 cups of blueberries, and 3 peaches.

    Most other times it's trail mix (raw nuts, dried fruit, etc...)

    Once I binged on a half pound of kale.

    mine vary from month to month... sometimes it's pickles, sometimes it's chewing gum, recently it's been watermelon. I would probably eat 10 of them if I were given the chance.

    i would also probably eat an entire watermelon if I were given the chance.

    I'm BAD with gum! I'm better now but I used to chew like a pack a day!

    I find this funny because I am sitting here at the computer with a box of cookies on the kitchen table behind me. I didn't buy them mind you a friend dropped them off for my kids. I know I can't eat any because I can't eat just one. (One box full maybe)


    So in answer to your question... COOKIES!!

    Help, they are calling me! :noway:

    Oh wow, I have so many. Oreo's, key lime pie, cheesecake, peppermint patties, the list goes on and on. I don't even go to the grocery store because I'm to tempted. I send my husband with a healthy list.

    yogurt... I can't eat one personal (6 oz) carton... I have to eat 3 or 4. Silly me.... I don't like the bigger yogurts.... I just like eating many many many of the little ones... especially Liberte Coconut yogurt... that is my FAVORITE all-time yogurt.

    Goldfish. Saltines. Chips. I will eat the entire bag, calories be damned! :blushing:

    Goldfish I found out today the hard way. I keep food in my desk at work and do a pretty good job of having it there for snacks, but I couldn't NOT eat that bag of Goldfish I bought yesterday afternoon.

    The next time I want these things I will have to buy an individual serving as to not tempt myself!!!

    Sour Skittles! I've made myself sick eating too many of these at once.

    Queso is hard for me as well, but once I get started, I crave those skittles like cigarettes.

    Reduced fat Cheezits. Can eat more than a box at a time and then it just sits in your stomach like lead.

    Anything with sugar - even sugary cereals. My husband is luckily quite understanding and keeps his sugary cereal habit to a minimum. Snack bars. BEER. I can't handle beer.
