dear sunnystorm,
i used to do that, and that's how i got off track. i decided after a year of eating a relatively sane and healthy diet that sunday would be entire bag of m&m's day.
for me sweets just creates a craving for more sweets, just like an addiction.
eventually i was up to 4 or 5 bags of candy a week. plus some other junk food.
I try not to do it anymore. I figure if i loose 10 or so lbs, i could go out to dinner or order a pizza, but over all for me, it seems to lead me astray.
i must stress again that when i started taking an essential nutrients powder, it really lead to the end of my cravings. Extreme cravings that is. i still get the occassional cookie or 2 but not nearly as frequent, and the thought of eating a whole bag of fun sizes seems a little absurd to me , so something has definitely changed in me.
So yeah, for me now a binge might be a gourmet cookie , at 300cals as oppossed to b4 when it was a tub o' ice cream at 2000cals.
you might get mad at me for saying this, but i think its true for myself, that as far as excessive food cravings, it is a sign that something somewhere is just not balanced. That is what i have learned so far in my dieting .
