What Are Your Trigger Foods?

[OneEyedDiva]

Not sure what is meant by comfort food. Is that a quick fix goodie used to medicate anxiety or the blues?

That's exactly what it means DG. You eat the thing (whatever it is) and it makes you feel better, it provides satisfaction thus comfort.

Sadly or happily, depending on your view, I think all food is trigger food for me.

All of the above 'delights'. Leaving this post now as there is a calling from the food cupboard!!!! Thanks @OneEyedDiva. Be rest assured, all in moderation

Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate.

I love peanut M&M peanuts! I have to put them in the freezer to keep me from eating all of them at once regardless of the size of the bag! It works. Out of sight, out of mind until I open my freezer.

I just received a 2 lb. 6 oz. bag of them today as a Christmas gift and I have already started eating them. I guess I will have to divide them up and put them in the freezer.

Extra crunchy Cheetos- I'll stuff 'em in my mouth so fast my hand is just a blur.
Chocolate covered coffee beans- 5 per 1/2 serving = 83 calories....I always cheat and make it 6 or 7.

Lays lightly salted potato chips...I can eat a party size bag in 2 days!

Who am I kidding...I can eat it in one day but control myself, lol.

They're my downfall too. Once the bag is open there's no stopping!

@CeeCee For awhile, I was into Lays original chips. I found that if I bought the individual size, it helped me control how much I ate. I rarely ate more than the 1 oz bag at one time. At most I'd eat 1-1/2 bags. Now I buy Utz 9.5 oz bags because they are on sale a lot at my local supermarket. Haven't cracked a bag open in a couple of months.

Haagen Dazs vanilla ice cream which I firmly believe has mystical and medicinal powers. I eat some every night, principally between 1AM and 3AM in the morning. I have found that when I wake up, some great ice cream always enables me to go back to bed and sleep soundly.
Why mess with a pill when a quick trip to the kitchen and some magical ice cream will quickly do the trick every time.

I've never cared much for ice cream - not since I was little, anyway. But I can munch down on nuts all day, especially almonds. Cover 'em with chocolate and I'm a gonner.

OMG! Haagen Daz vanilla ice cream is my favorite food ever! If I could eat it for every meal, get all my nutrients and not gain weight or get sick, I would.
