Slider foods and evil carbs

Does anyone else have any issues with the persistant urges to eat those slider type foods? I do my best to completely isolate myself from them, but sometimes I see a bag of chips or popcorn and know - because I've done it a couple of times - that I can eat quite a lot of these foods. And even in those cases, I stopped because I knew what I was doing was wrong, not that I felt any restriction. I feel restriction with most normal food and can only eat 4 or 5 oz of real food, but it seems scary that conceivably I could go on a binge like I used to do sometimes when I was pre-op.

Um yeah... all the time!  Luckily I still feel restriction even with sliders so I cant go too overboard.

 It is scary because I'm starting to notice I can eat more than I could just a few months ago.  I am a binge eater and I have to take it day by day.  Some days are good (today for example, yey me!) and others aren't...but as long as I am aware of what I'm doing and try to fix it, that's progress.  

Chips are the devil and I usually don't have them in my house but somehow we got home with a bag of Doritos from camping and it's like my brain can't forget they are there sitting in the cupboard.  Darn brain...

yup, is a big corncern for me, but i also don´t have that much restriction anymore. dunno why but i control my portions so i guess is ok.
slider foods are also salads ans tuff like that makes the protein and food easier to go down the pouch so protein 1th lol. i should remember that more often lol.

haha oh mannn, do i feel ya on this one. im 19 months out of surgery and carbs are my downfall. and i was so good at restricting my intake of them, but lately i've def. fallen off the bandwagon. i need to get super strict with my protein intake again, bc i know that has been slacking since my carbs have increased. yikess..... no weightgain, but minimal weight loss and i know i can still loose that last 20lbs. i gotta get my butt in gear. like now. lol

i got some of that " protein granola" made by Bear Naked.. and that stuff goes down like I never had a surgery. its scary !!! =0   I can eat it and eat it , and realize half the bag is gone. It is whole grain, so its like the " good carbs" but its so good that I still feel guilty =/
