What is experience with legalized 'binge' foods?

[Guest guest]

OK, so what has been the experience of those who have conquered this with foods they had formerly binged on and have taken them into the house for legalization? thanks.

Actually the suggestion to legalize food is to STOCK UP on whatever it is that you binge/crave/ is 'forbidden'. Not just 2 candy bars, but more than you could possibily eat in a day's time. And as you eat the supply down, you replenish it to original level.

Search on frosting here and you will see the discussion and 'battle' another member here waged on this 'forbidden' food of hers. Limiting is restriction really and is more than likely bound to cause rebellion and binging according to IE and OO both.

That said, some people are more comfortable not having some foods in their homes. But most have already did the legalizing process and that has become a choice rather than a rule or trick?

> You'll want to listen to someone with more experience too, but...I heard someone on here say that if you know it's a binge food (and be sure you're not calling it a binge if it's not), then maybe you don't bring a big package home, etc. That there is a difference between making a food safe and bringing something home that we're not quite ready to bring home, like somehow limit it a bit still....oh, I don't think I'm repeating this correctly. lol
