Know Your Triggers

We may not like to admit it, but most of us have “trigger” foods that can send us into a tail spin of over eating.  If you have never thought about it, it’s time to take note of when you overeat and why.  Are there foods you begin eating that make you eat and eat?  Are they sweet things?  Bread and butter?  Salty potato chips?  No matter what they are log them mentally and steer clear of them on a daily basis.  Take them out of your cupboards and be honest with yourself about why you need to get rid of them and for how long (somethings I STILL don’t bring into my house for lack of self control!)  Then replace them with different foods – ones that are real food and full or nutrients!
