Trigger Food

Lindsay posted about trigger foods today and I started thinking about what would be mine.  Sad to say but I cannot pinpoint one specific thing.  I could say that Pepsi and Dr. Pepper are a trigger.  But so is Peanut M&Ms and peanut butter M&Ms.  So are skittles and twix; chips and salsa or pizza.  I could go on but it is just making me hungry.  For me it is safe to say that I just really like to munch and once I start, it is hard to stop.  If it is out, I mindless grab it and eat.  I also like things that are easily accessible...like M&Ms because there is not a wrapper in the way.  The trick for me so not keep things out on the counter, in a candy dish or in sight.  I have a candy bowl on the top of the fridge but never really remember about it because it is out of sight. 
Anyone have anything that triggers them to eat and not stop???

Dr Pepper and Flipz. You know, those chocolate covered pretzels. Especially Dr Pepper and Flipz together! Heaven!

Like you, I can not narrow it down. Food, in general, is my trigger. I am such an emotional eater. It doesn't matter if I'm happy, sad, angry, upset, frustrated, worried, elated.... I could go on and on. I simply love food! All kinds! And I love to eat. I literally get a high from it!

That's why, for me, food addiction is worse than alcohol or drugs addiction. With alcohol and drugs, I could remove them from my life. Make sure I don't go anywhere near them. But food? Impossible. I have to eat to live. And it sucks. Really, really sucks!
