  • Unfortunately I have more than one binge weakness! I drool over any chocolate related cookies, Doritos, soft packaged bread desserts, and bread in general. I used to binge on "sandwiches" but they mostly consisted of bread and very little cold cuts (I'd only add lettuce, cheese, and Italian dressing).
  • chips. cheese.

    tortilla chips with melted cheese and salsa? huge binge trigger.

    I've been lucky with pizza though, I can eat a slize and not go into binge mode..
  • CARBS. Carbs of all kinds!

    Seriously, in the past, I would just eat plain white bread and binge from that. Today I had a blueberry muffin (from a pack of 6), and was about to grab another when I realized that I had absolutely no physical hunger for it. Love baked goods though. *sigh*
  • I have a serious bread addiction. As soon as I eat one slice I have to have more and more. I ate 3 bagels in one sitting once, it is so awful and embarrassing. I have had to cut it out of my diet completely.
  • Cheese and chips. They are evil, but oh so good.
  • Quote: I could take or leave sweets. I binge with salty foods, Chinese or McDonalds, pizza or burgers. Pasta, tacos. French fries, salty snacks like beef jerky and pretzels and onion dip....
    Same here! I crave actual meal items as a snack. That and pastries. Not good!
    Good luck.
  • Sugary stuff - chocolate, candy, ice cream, etc. It's horrible. I grew up with it, and it's gotten worse as I've gotten older. I never really binged on it until I started actively trying to diet. Now it's like 8PM hits and I turn into Teen Wolf, looking for chocolate. It's a nasty side effect, but I've found I can control it by abstaining. Fruit is a good alternative for me.

    Same!! Bread, pasta, (and cheese). particularly, warm bread & butter or bread with melted cheese or pasta with cheese.
  • For me, my list of what is not a trigger food would be much shorter.

    I have a huge sweet tooth so just about any kind of sugary-chocolately bakery item could set me off on a binge if I even go near them.

    The only way to control myself is to keep them out of the house.
  • I don't binge all the time...but some days I do and have and I remember each time clearly because I felt so disgusting! One time my friend and I got drinks from sonic then food from mcdonalds and taco bell..for one meal. I almost had fun because we did it together but I know better. Fast food is my weakness. Every time I get in my car I think about it. Even if we are so broke we have NO extra money I'll still try to think of ways around it just to get something. Once I taste something I love I can't stop eating. I'm not a huge fan of sweets I'm more on the salty side. I can eat a bag of chips by myself 10 minutes. I am just in the beginning of my journey so I hope someday I can say "I don't do that anymore" Lol
  • Twix and Oreos. Oh God. It's not even good to think about them. I'll be studying late at night, super tired, and think "oh, i need some energy..." so i walk over to the huddle--and then suddenly i'll have an empty box of oreos and a handful of twix wrappers next to me and all i want is more more more more. I feel like i've developed an immunity to the sugar. It's messed up when you wish you could make CARAMEL even sweeter.
  • Frosted Flakes. I can eat an entire box of frosted flakes by myself.

    Chocolate is another huge problem for me as well. Anything sweet really.
  • Any kind of carbs, but especially potatoes...I've eaten and thrown away enough potatoes to feed a country. Bleh.
