I eat a bunch of flavored dry seaweed instead of chips for that initial crunch. (The taste and texture after that is totally different obviously .) 🌱

Kay, I haven't figured it out in detail, like you have, but my sister and I have talked about the whole comfort aspect of eating when not hungry and/or stressed. Apples have been my replacement for sweets the last few days. Habits, they certainly need our attention, don't they. 💕

Kay before I started high protein low carb I would be on a serious binge eating mission. It didn't matter if it was cheetos, Oreo cookies, or just dinner meals. I always wanted more to eat and I couldn't stop myself. Now I actually force myself to stop and take a breather. I put the fork down and quit. And where I have a habit of eating fast, it helps with that too.

Cc: I have a sissy too and we both have BED among others and the commonality is a rocky relationship with food growing up and it follows to your 30’s. I choose not to use food for comfort as often as I, say, vape or run or mop or do a Pilates session. Which is hard for me bc I always think 💭 ice cream 🍦

Difficult to resist temptation of sweets if in the house. If not, I don’t crave them though.

\or.... every time you reel hungry drink a pint of water first, and wait 10 minutes ... you'll know then if its true hunger?

Sometimes I start thinking about a food item that was not a staple of my diet or even something I ate on rare occassions. They are not triggered by someones food post or any other visual sense. The last one I had was for bbq potatoe chips something from childhood 50 years ago. I am almost 62. Another one was rice krispy bars. Something I always thought was too sweet and not a treat of choice. I indulged in both. I have eliminated many things from my diet so I think since my brain now discounts those as choices it searches for new options !!

are we talking nude cereal-eating on a unicycle or that I like to put bananas in chili type stuff? I'll let you guess which one is true.
