Trigger foods. Resist them or use them as rewards?

Yesterday I was in the grocery store and saw some Ben & Jerry Ice Creams on sale (2 for the price of one).  To many Ben & Jerry ice cream is very tasty, and a trigger food that will gain them weight.  A flavor I saw has 24G of fat!!!! This is heavy in fat compared to the most rich of frozen Yogurt which has 5G of fat. Even the frozen yogurt version of that Ben & Jerry ice cream (with 24G of FAT) has only 3-5G of FAT. So if you are someone that has a hard time resisting certain foods, then your best bet is to keep them out of the house! Who knows if you stocked up on trigger foods you may end up eating them all without realizing it, which would unfortunately result in a weight gain. So be smart and avoid trigger foods if you cannot resist them. If you can resist them, and are disciplined enough, then use them as treats and or rewards for positive behavior. For example you could reward yourself for losing weight, for taking a long walk/run, etc.. The possibilities are endless on how to reward yourself.
