Trigger Foods-Once you start you cant stop

I believe in everything in moderation but there are some foods that I just don't go near or buy at all anymore because no matter what I always end up eating way more than I meant to.
1. orange juice-I looove it despite the fact I'm allergic to it
2. subway sandwich "footlong"- I always tell myself Ill save the other half for later and never do
3. egg nog- my own personal holiday enemy
4. take home pizzas like digornios or tombstone-Just one slice, yeah right
And every time I'm at the grocery store I have to do that battle with myself, no don't buy it, who cares that its on sale, you're not going to eat just a little bit, don't even stand here and lie to yourself.
So I was just interested in knowing other people's trigger foods

Crisps. It is impossible to have a handful or a bowlful. Here in Germany you can only get them in huge, ill-making quantities. They are evil. I don't go there unless I am on travelling on a train with somebody else who promises to share them with me. Since I only go on long train journeys about twice a year, I think that is probably OK.
Beer. I LOVE beer. I can have NO beer or I can have so much beer that I forget everything around me - going home, getting up the next morning, etc. etc. Wicked.0 -
Double Stuf Oreos, pizza, Oreo McFlurry, DQ cookie dough blizzard, DQ cones, vanilla cake with vanilla icing. I don't let any of these near me.0

gyro, fries,wings,chips. those are my worst enemy and I try at all cost to avoid them.0

Chocolate. Today we had Sixlets candies at a family member's first birthday party (think very, very mini-M&Ms), along with some Roche hazelnut candies. Yummy, but a disaster to the diet.0

Nutella=chocolate/hazelnut spread. It's fairly sweet, so heads up if you're diabetic.

Banana bread, cheesecake, dark chocolate digestives, cream puffs, sushi, and tortilla wraps.0

Chocolate covered espresso beans
Dark chocolate oranges - only available during the holidays but I'll get in a year's worth no problem
Pad Thai - I always say I am going to eat half and take the other half to go... yea right.
Sushi - Good news is the impending bill keeps me from going overboard....0 -

Whoa, whoa, you making me crave DQ blizzards... I haven't let myself go in a Dairy Queen for a long time. Normally easy to talk myself out of it - it's near the college campus & usually packed with people, so that deters me.
Pizza can be a downfall. Been getting cravings lately for that & knew I would end up binging if I didn't allow myself a little, so I find healthier take-home ones (chicken fiesta or something with lots of veggies on it), have a serving or serving & a half, put the rest away immediately.
Nutella isn't allowed in my house anymore. I can eat spoon after spoon of it til about half the jar is gone. Macaroni & cheese is another big downfall I contend with. & I always want to add extra cheese to it...

- pizza
- candy (especially anything small)
- donuts and cakes

I have an eating disorder called SED (selective eating disorder) AKA ARFID (avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder), so I only have a few foods that I actually WANT to eat. DQ ice cream and sauceless cheese pizza are the two I constantly crave. I haven't had DQ in probably 2 years, but I allow myself pizza every few months. I have a very short list of foods I will actually eat so my weight loss journey has been hard. I have eaten the same foods almost every single day for over a year now since they are ones I can stomach and that don't make me gain weight.

Trigger foods would be.... French bread (Cuisine de France), anything to do with Chocolate (Nutella, bars of White chocolate, McVities Choco Caramel Digestives, etc), Almond Butter (as I'm allergic to Peanut butter, but that doesn't stop me either).... Sigh.
Been eating more French bread and Chocolate than usual lately, but I'm close to my GW. I will work them off, am sure.
Mmmm, chocolate...

Peanut Butter and/or liquor.0

Fresh, sweet cherries - but I wouldn't say they were a trigger or a bad thing. I CAN stop, I just don't want to. It's just somewhat of an expensive thing to be endlessly grazing on.0

Tortilla chips and salsa. There is no moderation here.0
-
Trigger foods during my period: cookies/biscuits, bread and cheese, and peanut butter. Other than that, when I'm not overly hormonally charged, I don't really have trigger foods.0
-
"Natural" White Cheddar Cheetos. I still buy them but when I do, I just accept the fact that I'm going to finish the whole bag in a day since they're not very filling.0
-
Chips and salsa, Gummy bears, Japanese peanuts, beef jerky, cheezits, cheese and crackers, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, pizza, french fries, m&m's....should I keep going? I have a serious addiction to food, man, it's a miracle that I've managed to lose weight LOL.0

Cookies of any sort.
Pringles/Chips of any sort
Milk chocolate (I'm fine with dark)
Cereal, particularly cornflakes for some reason0 -

I don't really have trigger foods, the above is the closest I come. I can stop, but it takes more willpower for chips and salsa than anything else I eat.
