What have we done in the past when the snacks are passed around? Did we take one or half the bag? We may need to pass the whole bag in the future. Everyone has their most challenging snack food temptations that are most likely to trigger binges. It's much easier to say no to even one of our trigger foods than it is to stop a binge when it's in full throttle.
Some foods may need to be banished from the house because they're so dangerous to our personal health. There may be no way we can enjoy certain foods in moderation. It's easier to identify them and keep them out of the house.
Our old habits have created who we are today. That's why a journal can be so helpful, especially to record our feelings about the particular foods we eat...linked to our weight and exercise. When we keep even a brief record, we become more aware of our eating habits and patterns.
People in Alcoholics Anonymous have learned and taught for years that if they can identify a habit, a negative emotion, or an addiction and put a name to it, they can begin to do something about it. When it isn't faced head-on, it remains hidden, and it remains a problem.
ACTION STEPS:
1. Keep a snack or food journal so you can recognize and openly name your "trigger foods."
2. Throw them away. Get them off your grocery lists. Keep them out of the house and replace them with snacks or foods you can more easily turn down.
