    Does it have icing? That almost painfully sweet grocery store butter cream? Then keep it the hell away from my face lest I grow to be 200+lbs again lol

    These Japanese Mexican peanuts you can only get in Mexico. I swear they have cocaine in them. I can not stop eating them once I start. And I'm not the only one this has happened to.
    My sister was over at my house and asked if she could have a couple and she accidentally ate the whole bag. She's usually great with moderation and she even said she doesn't know what came over her, she literally could not stop eating them.

    I find if I'm eating ENOUGH of the RIGHT foods . I stress the word "ENOUGH" and "RIGHT" I do not crave junk or anything of the sort .

    I used to be a big sucker for PB and J sandwiches, I still love em don't get me wrong but I found I was eating three of them a day at one point especially during the early months of recovery from anorexia .

    Once I was weight restored , and my appetite naturally regulated (it's still regulating ) I no longer craved these foods, as my body didn't need them.

    I started eating MORE whole foods, making my porridge in the morning with up to 100 grams of oats and a plant based milk alternative (preferably soy as its more nutrient and protein rich) instead of water, and eating plenty of bananas , whole grain rice , potatoes , BEANSSSS, fruits and vegetables .

    When I fill up with good food I no longer feel so out of control around crap empty calorie foods , and can stop at 1 or 2 Oreos instead of 4-6 or the whole packet .

    It's literally as simple as eating WHOLE food and eating ENOUGH .

    If you have ever restricted your calories
    You will end up experiencing "reactive eating" (Google the term extreme hunger) and thus this is why diets do not work.

    In terms of calories I eat between 2500-3000 calories on average , I go to the gym 5 times a week and do my best to walk everyday as its so good for you .

    Calories are not created equally .


    I've had anorexia , I used to believe the "calories in calories" out , which in a sense is true as its physics , but do you really think the body processes all the calories the same as a donut versus I dunno an apple?

    No.

    There's a study done on people eating nuts I believe it was almonds , and they found that a percentage of the almond calories were excreted via stool as the body couldn't process them.

    Whole food is the way to go.

    This is really only applicable to people who have had eating disorders. I understand exactly what you're saying, as I recovered from anorexia (and bulimia... and exercise bulimia...) as well. But for people who've never messed with their hunger cues or really built self-worth/esteem/heavily labeled things as "good" and "bad," this isn't as applicable.

    It's a bit controversial to insist "calories are not created equally"... OK, more than a bit.

    I think she means that your body does not extract all the calories from many foods. Fibrous ones and such. Whereas highly refined foods, your body extracts every calorie. We aren't bomb calorimeters, so therefore we don't completely burn everything we take in.

    to stay on topic: jelly filled donuts!

    For me it's hummus with Tyrrell's sweet chilli and red pepper crisps. I can't just have a wee drop, has to be the whole tub n packet. So I have to stay away from them entirely or I'll never get back on that wagon!

    I am storing this in my 'snacks I have to try' section of my memory. Sounds good. Maybe with Prosecco and a movie...

    Cadbury mini-eggs at Easter, and candy cane Hershey Kisses at Christmas. At least my triggers are seasonal! :p

    I feel you on both of those! Cadbury creme eggs are my weakness, though. They had them at the gas station near my work for way too long after easter ended....

    I have my own 'solution' to the Creme Egg problem: every year I overdose on the things (4-6 in close succession) once, and then I lose my urge to eat them for another year... Better for my dental health too!

    Liquorice Allsorts are the worst for me. I weigh out and log one portion. Then another. Then another. Once I sent the remains of a pack to a friend the other side of the Atlantic to save myself!

    Nuts. Just plain nuts, not even the fancy kind. That's why I only have them when I have access to single serving packs or as a part of some other dish where you I can't overeat them. Half a serving of ice cream, one oz of chips, 2 slices of pizza.. these are all fine and dandy, but not nuts. What's odd is that when I buy a single serving I'm actually happy with it and don't seek more, but when it's readily available I would have to physically restrain myself not to have a second (or 10th) serving.

    And I had to bin some Betty Crocker chocolate frosting and some Fluff when I started eating them obsessively (I'd finished baking and serving the birthday cake they were intended for). It gets to a point where a certain eating behaviour borders on abuse, and if I sense that I will take the measures necessary.

    Oreos . I even dream about eating Oreos and then when I wake up I have to convince myself it was a dream because I don't have them in the house

    Killian's Irish Red with a bag of dill pickle chips. This combo will destroy me.

    Chips/salt of any kind. I flat out can't moderate them :(

    Doritos, and double stuffed oreos

    Same for me! Also jalapeño cheetos, cereal, jelly beans, and used to be ice cream but I've been doing a lot better with that.

    peanut butter and cheese => 1 serving means the entire available quantity
    While I'm SLIGHTLY better with peanut butter than I am with cheese (as long as it's natural/organic. If it's Peter Pan, all hope is lost), I totally feel you on this sentiment!

    Lucky Charms. They are the only food item I've had to cut out completely. I seriously have no self control when it comes to Lucky Charms. I could easily eat a whole box in one sitting.

    Depending on the day. Usually cannot resist chips (and cannot stop until the very last is gone). :neutral:

    Flaming hot Cheetos for me. If I even have a bag in the house I will cave and eat the whole thing.

    My mom bought 2 family-sized bags last week (keep in mind she knows how badly I binge on them and asked her to keep them out of the house) and it took so much willpower to throw those bags in the dumpster unopened. I felt a little bad because they're a bit expensive but better that then eating myself sick.

    Moist chocolate cake - my mom's recipe which uses oats. To die for. Funny - I used to eat a piece and then just have a another teeny slide, then another one. No wonder I was heavy - deluding myself like that. Now when I make this cake the recipe is logged and I know EXACTLY how much I am eating and its caloric value. No more foolin'.
