Have you tried not keeping any M&M's in the house?
When I saw a therapist she said to not let the foods I love to munch on be available. She said recovered alcoholics do best living in a environment where there is not temptation... I apply my food addiction to that of a alcoholic. When I decided on this new lifestyle, my husband and I needed to clean out our cupboards and we cannot let that food back in our home that I love to snack on. It has really helped a lot. I will think I am hungry... go to the cupboard and look through them and see nothing I desire and go back to what I was doing.
Really... think about not letting the m&m's be available.
Best of luck to you on regaining control. This is the best place to come for support
