Triggers
May 23, 2012
Wow, wow, WOW!!! Yesterday was my first experience with a "trigger" food, or rather, my first experience RECOGNIZING one.
At my work-place, once someone has successfully passed through their 3 month probation period, they're given a HUGE cookie that is then cut up and passed around as they go from department to department. I really didn't think anything of it and, conscientiously, grabbed the smallest piece on the tray. I popped it in my mouth (peanut butter, mmmmmmmm) and then *snap* I became almost ravenous for more sweet.
It was so weird! Maybe it was exaggerated as I pretty much cut sugar out of my diet May first and this was my first bite since then. Thankfully I had some Simple Food brand cookie bites (1 serving is 100 calories) I munched on half the bag and drank a bunch of water and was fine. I've never experienced anything like that in all my life. Of course maybe that's because I've never worked so hard at keeping myself accountable before and I've just always given into it in the past.
Whatever it was, I'm so glad I experienced it this early in my journey so that I can hone my resolve and rehearse my new mantra, "Oh, no thank you." "Thank you but I won't just now." or, in other words, "Thanks but, as it might lead me to have to gnaw off my own foot to stop, I'll just pass."
