Trigger Foods

I loved this article about trigger foods. 

I've noticed, if I let myself indulge in a starchy, carby treat, I will then be eating starchy, carby food all day, every day. It gets totally ridiculous and I feel out of control and like poo on day 3 of my starch binge. 

How do I escape it? I wake up, and at every meal, every thought, and every action - I say to myself "My body only wants nourishing foods, only nourishing foods energize me" - very similar to the author's affirmation of "I am worthy of nourishment through love and healing foods. I release all unhealthy thoughts around food"

A day of repeating that, breaks the cycle and reminds me to love my body and everything I feed it.
