One of my forum friends recently posted the following statement:
“I have never found that allowing myself to eat whatever I want stopped me from overeating it at some time. Processed foods are powerful. Even thin people overeat them, and sometimes become fat people. That said, it is still crucial to allow those foods into my plan. It is important to take away the emotional charge. But the emotional charge is not the only stimulus. However, in the right conditions--right amount of pleasure, rest, companionship-- I have them moderately and satisfyingly.”

This has also been my own general overall experience. Sometimes I delete specific food for specific time periods, but eventually, I've always returned to the above-general behavior.
Will I always do that? I don't know. I like to always remain open to new possibilities.
