Day 4 of sane eating.  Can popcorn trigger cravings???  I had popcorn as a late night snack, then found myself reaching for a couple of sourdough hard pretzels.  Woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, and again grabbed two pretzels.  That kind of eating makes me feel crazy even if it is a little bit.

B - protein shake
S - apple/cheese
L - smart ones
S - cup of coup
D - I'm not sure.  I think Bill is cooking.  If not, I'll make a chef salad.
A - SF ice cream

Anything can be a trigger if it makes you want more of something.  Most likely its because its a carb with no protein.

Thanks, Nan.  I guess I can't keep fooling myself into believing popcorn is just a vegetable. 

Even eating just veggies can be a trigger without the protein.  If I eat a big salad with no protein added, I can't stop picking and grazing on other stuff.  It always helps to have a protein with your carbs.
