May I ask what your trigger was? or just a general, WTF?

My trigger? I would have many triggers. I found the weekends the worst, still are, it makes me want to eat, then i can't stop. But, what seems to be the "trigger" is the carb creep. I would do well for weeks and weeks, had been clean for years, then i would add some foods back in, up the carbs. Never grains. But, fruit. Fruit, that was always the start.
I would be fine on berries, but add anything else. OMG I ate a 3 lbs bag of cuties. Then I would move on to something else with the logic that its not as bad as cake, or something like that. Then, on to more fruit, then stuff thats not really legal. Canned fruit in heavy syrup. I'd move onto peanut butter, then all was lost. I start on the "fringes" of what is legal, then slowly it busts wide open.
Lc eating is the only way i have been able to control my eating and cravings. I also am a huge emotional eater, stress, sadness, etc. That has helped trigger binging the last couple years. I would eat the legal foods and still not feel "fulfilled" even though i wasn't hungry. I was looking for the comfort.
