For me it's 2 things!
Bread & Cheese .... and everything associated with bread and cheese like pizza.
I can go days but then I eat a pizza like its crack. It's my ultimate ruin...

I tend not to view food like this anymore - it's not a healthy way to relate to eating.
Sure there are foods I'd ideally eat less of than others but regardless I make all the yummy stuff 'fit'

Pepsi, even Diet, makes my days a struggle to stay under maintenance, let alone a loss. I can drink Diet Mountain Dew or energy drinks no problem. If I had a diet pepsi, I'm a wreck looking for chips and cheesies and cookies and cake and junk.
Conditioning. I grew up on pepsi and chips.0 -
Cake. I had to completely stop making and buying them. One day I'll be able to have one slice and leave it alone. I'm not there yet.0

I used to feel the same about cheese
But I adjusted and I don't anymore
I eat cheese every day but I add grated cheese to my eggs or on top of stews instead of sitting to down to big lumps0 -
Doritos, Lay's, Pringles. I figure when I am emotionally vulnerable I will binge on chips.0
-
Ben & Jerry's ice cream. I can't seem to just have a single serving... For me - serving = the entire pint!0
-
Entemann's Little Chocolate Chip Cookies. Could eat the whole box just by looking at it. ;-)0

If I have a party sized bag of chips, I will eat it all in one day. But - the last time I did this, I had the bag last me for 3 whole days! So sometimes I'm better...0

Yeah, bread with stinky cheeses... it's hard to stop at one slice & one ounce. And chips & salsa. I cognitively 'know' how many chip pieces fit together to make one tortilla but again, it's just so darned hard to stop there!0
-
Cakes, pies and cookies. Oh dear Lord, I can skip an entire meal just to have dessert. That's my biggest downfall but on the bright side, I've almost completely stopped drinking sodas and drink so much water, sometimes I feel like a fish.

Chips and Salsa. Unless I measure out a few and just eat those, the whole bag is gone before I know it. I've learned to just not eat them in Mexican Restaurants. Once I start it's hard to stop.0

I am fine with everything but Nutella. If I want it I buy the snack size because it's never a serving of the big jar....it is the big jar over the course of a day or 2. Don't even get me started on the sams club size...that had a part in me gaining back 14 lbs after I lost my baby weight lol.0

Mint chocolate ....0

Same here. The years I gained the majority of my weight were when I was regularly eating Chipotle, Ben & Jerry's pints and drinking alcohol....a lot. And by regularly, I mean multiple times a week.

No single item is my "ruin", but alcohol definitely stalls my success..0

Lately it's been shelled peanuts. While not the worst food in moderation, I'll eat an entire 20oz bad w/o issue - 1,760 calories! Sigh...
Oh, and chips & salsa at a Mexican restaurant. There's just no stopping me...0 -
Peanut butter, cheese, and pork chops. Every time, man... every time.0
-
Snyders jalapeno pretzel pieces. Swoon. I NEVER buy them because I will weigh and measure my serving...then go back for another serving...then just finish the bag. When I first met my husband he got me the little bags every once in a while because he knew it was a rough one for me.0
-
Popcorn. I just have it when I'm at the movie now.0
-
Hudsonville Deer tracks Ice Cream, but Ice cream in general for the most part. At times Ice cream will be my dinner and evening snack.0
-
The only thing I can't seem to stop eating until it's gone is Outback Steakhouse Aussie cheese fries. But I know when I'm going there and I budget for it, so it's all well controlled.
Other than that, I have decent willpower most of the time.0 -
cookies and milk. Especially Oreos or Chips Ahoy. I seek out the tiny packages with like six cookies inside because I know I will eat them all. It's weird though because when I bake "quality" cookies I can eat one or two with milk or coffee and be perfectly satisfied...0
-
Cupcakes.

Pop, and sweet pastries. The boss's father brought homemade glazed donuts in to work the other day. I fit one in for my day, and it was amazing. I had problems keeping myself from eating the entire tray.0

I don't think about self-destructive foods anymore -- there are self-destructive situations that I put myself in (and am learning to avoid). An example: if I let myself get too hungry, I often don't want to stop eating, especially if I have a super-palatable food available. The solution is to not let myself get too hungry.0
-
Pretty much any salty, crunchy snacks. Nacho cheese Doritos. ..killer.0
-
cheesecake. salt and vinegar or cheddar sour cream chips. Ice cream (especially ben n jerry's fish food, cherry garcia, peanut butter cup, and cheesecake brownie).0
-
Sweets and junk food such as candy, pop and chips. They wreck me.
Baked items will get me going too.0 -
Chips and salsa/guacamole mmmmmm0
