The "No-No" List

So, yesterday's "I don't care what I eat because I messed up already" binge started with one fastically salty crunch TORTILLA CHIP.  Yup, I was trying hard to fight the left over chips at my job but one turned into 5, and five turned into a half a plate with some salsa.   Yeah...I admit it but I am trying to leave that in the past today.

I stocked up over the weekend with fruit so I'm trying to eat some with every meal to keep me fuller.  Am also going to add a glass of water to that.  Perhaps, I am not getting enough after I leave work where I technically drink all 64 of my required ozs.  Anywho, I think it's time....to write down my No-No List.

The No-No List is a list of foods that after 30 dam years on this earth I KNOW, WITHOUT A DOUBT, will trigger a binge and a glorious bout of self-depreication.  So, until I can reign it in a bit, FOR NOW, I WILL NOT eat the following and the specificness is not so I can create loopholes, I just know exactly what trigger it for me.  And because I have been trying to laugh as much about this as I can...these are  the brave foods that I will temporarily sacrafice for the betterment of my waistline:

DANISHES....sorry guys...your creamy delisciouness is just too much Mama right now....

DOUGHNUTS....what the HELL am I going to do when my period strikes and I can't go get two Boston Creams from Dunkin Doughnuts? lol...hey keeping it real!

VANILLA WAFERS....I can smash half a box with some milk, but it's been years since I pulled out that party trick.

TORTILLA CHIPS....that one was actually physically difficult for me to write.  A maragarita from now on...just own't be the same...

OREOS...this is primarily a thing for when I go home cause I know better than to leave an unguarded package of these puppies in the Penthouse lol!!!

MUFFINS...yes even the low fat kind from Dunkin Doughnuts...oh this is a dark day in baked goods history....

okay I should probably give something up from McDonalds just because that is one place I can navigate but not always that well....ah man...this too is gonna hurt...

LARGE FRIES from MCDONALDS....I have taken to using a phrase I haven't used in years...."large size it". Eek scary...I think the key with this one will be to simply SLOW down and savor every last cripsy fried potatoe stick of joy....lol...yeah I said that...

Hmmm, this seems like a totally reasonable list to give up until...and I'm going to pray this is not over reaching...my birthday...July 18th!   OMG....I hope I have not just set myself up for disappointment.  But this will force me to find healthy alternatives to these items as well as force me to figure what it is emotionally that triggers these binges.  I lot of it is deprivation on my part and not ....okay I just had my first test.  Haven't even finished the stupid blog about trigger foods and I'm tempted by the main culprit....Doughnuts...homecut...at the front desk at my job.  Of course I picked up the box automatically to see if there were any in there lol.  But I am proud to report that no tonly did I refuse one when offered I didn't even open the box! Whew...I made up some excuse like I can't eat gluten products or something like that lol...hey all the stars do it to cover the fact they starve themselves or purge lol.  But on the real...this is gonna be a LOOOOONNNGG 3 months lol.  VICTORY IS MINE!
