A Plan of Eating

Today was my 4th week in OA (I didn't make it to a meeting last week though).  I am ready to create a Plan of Eating...not a diet plan, but an actual Plan for eating and regulating my compulsion to overeat.

The Foods, Ingredients, and Behaviors that trigger my compulsion to overeat:

Behaviors:
Eating Alone
Eating in my car
Drive-thru Fast Food
Eating food from others' plates
Eating on the couch
Avoiding people, exercise, responsibilities
Cooking excessive quantities  
Dining at restaurants: multiple courses
Single item meals (ie: just spaghetti, no salad or veggie with)

Foods:
Chips/Salty Snacks
Bread Basket
Baked Goods
Fried Foods
Sugar drinks
Extreme Salty causes Sweet, Extreme Sweet causes Salty
