First one list your green foods. These are foods you have no problem with . You can eat a serving and leave them alone and they don't set you off into your conplusion.
2nd list is yellow foods: These are foods you are not sure about. sometimes you eat them and you're okey and other times you eat too much. They are kind of middle of the road foods.
3rd list is red foods: These are foods you know are going to start you to never never land with the food binge.
If one is honest with food you can be honest with other things in your life as you aren't covering them up with food.
These lists are not written in concrete but on paper so they can change 
Sometimes a green food will move to the yellow list sometime you will realize you need to move a yellow food to the green or red food list. It has been my experience so far that I never have moved a red food to another list. That's why they are on the red food list I don't eat them knowing if I do I'm a goner and into relapse I go.
I hope this helps someone. It's the old stop light trick, red you stop, yellow you think about it and green you go.
Have an abstinent day everyone.

That is a great idea! I think I might do that. I'm just not sure if it will help me or not, as I have binged on almost every food. It's less food that triggers a binge for me, and more a way of thinking.
