There's Always an Alternative

You really can't control yourself around a trigger food, like chocolate. One tiny bite is never enough. Before you blink, that entire jumbo-sized bar is gone. In that case, find an alternative that satisfies your craving for salt, sugar, or fat but doesn't do as much damage as the real thing. For example, if your weakness is potato chips, try having some air-popped popcorn as a snack instead. In time you'll adapt so that small amounts of trigger foods will not set you off on an all-night binge.
