One of my very favorite places to eat is Moe's. If you don't know what Moe's is or don't have one in your area, it's like Chipotle or Qdoba, one of those fast foody on the line Mexican places.
I don't know what it is about Moe's, nothing there is of amazing quality, the chips aren't very good, but god damn I fucking love Moe's. I could eat it every day. I could eat it every meal. I never get sick of it, I always have enough money for it, I get excited to eat it.
Moe's has typically been my go to binge food. I'll get extra protein, both kinds of beans, every topping possible, eat the whole bowl and the bag of chips that came with it.
When I get upset, I crave Moe's. When I cry I want Moe's. Moe is maybe the most comforting boyfriend I've ever had.
I've been trying to at least work Moe's into my daily plan and it's been a struggle - the meal I like is at least a thousand calories. I almost always end up over maintenence if I eat at Moe's.
Yesterday was a big day. Yesterday, it was Moe's Monday, a day where burritos and bowls are only $6. I go to Moe's almost every Monday, I can't resist the deal. Yesterday, however, I fit Moe's into my day. I have MFP set to 1620 calories (a 1000 cal defecit for me as a fat tall woman), and I have recently set a hard limit of ~2100 in order to lose at least a pound a week. Yesterday I ate my whole Moe's bowl and some of the chips, 950 calories. Yesterday's calorie total? 2120.
Edit: I feel I should clarify what I get at Moe's. I'm vegan so my bowl is already just rice, beans, tofu, and veggies and therefore the bowl alone is only ~500-600 cals. However the pleasure of eating Moe's for me comes from eating it with my chips like nachos. I like my order as it is, I'd rather fit it in than change it. There's not much else I could change anyway other than getting a salad without rice and no chips. Not worth it to me.
I feel like finally I have kicked Moe's ass!
Do you have go to binge foods? A food that is your definition comfort food? Have you tried to cut yourself off or work it in?
