I don't think it's a dietary need. I know it's an emotional craving because I'll eat when I'm physically not hungry. Your avocado killing the pb makes sense because of the fat in avocado is keeping you satiated so you aren't craving the fat in the pb.

I've been eating healthy for many yrs .....its a lifestyle for me. Just recently started the Insanity Workout - my 2nd week.
Its great you know what's behind the binging and I'm not well versed on what to do. I admire your determination and continued luck.  |
Lynn thank you so much for posting. I've heard of the Insanity workout. In the fall after the Marathon I was thinking of trying it for my next workout goal. For me this weight loss is for a lifetime and that's why I'm struggling so hard within myself to maintain this. I eat really, really well... I get local organic produce from a farm down the road from me. I eat lean proteins. Fruit (probably too much). and very little if any processed foods (eziekel bread or whole wheat pasta is what I eat for processed foods and it's organic or all natural). I rarely have a drink and when I binge it's on nuts or something not bad just bad in large quantities. I do allow myself a 'treat' once a week so I don't feel deprived - I'll go out an buy a sundae and be done with it but I won't by a half gallon and bring it home.... however I also have a couple binges thrown in and it's not helping.

I'll have to look into what type of attachment I am... or ask T. Do you have a good link to share?
Thank you all for your thoughts and support!
