Foods you have a tendency to overeat

Are there any foods, regardless of health, that you have a tendency to overeat - not just junk foods, but healthy foods?
For me, it's berries - raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries. Since recovering from anorexia, once I begin to eat them, I can't stop until I've finished the punnet. I realise that I'm messing up my sugar levels something awful, but a haze descends when I see berries and... Sigh!

    Love my oats, and I don't even bother buying nut butter anymore as it is too easy to overeat.

    Chocolate for sure, party foods (I hate when I go to a dinner party and the nibblies get put in the middle of the table, I can't help myself the cheese platter kills me every time). Healthy.... I could eat my weight in nuts and I would easily go OTT with bananas.

    Everything.....even salad/veg and especially sugar loaded fruit! My appetite is my biggest challenge, not so much my choices. However, I also cant stop at 1 slice of pizza or 4 squares of chocolate.....

    Cereal with banana's and almond milk. Not really unhealthy if portion is controlled. I can't have one bowl, so I don't have any except once in a while.

    Also carne asada! Holy cow. Juicy perfectly bbq'd ranchera meat cooked on the grill. Okay I think I am drooling on the keyboard now.

    PASTA!!! Love the stuff, actually eat it regularly just to satisfy my craving. A new one for me is Green & Blacks organic chocolate.. that's lovely but very calorie dense!

    Alcohol, BUTTER! (and as a side affect bread & potatoes) hot chips!!!

    Sometimes I feel that I may be heading this way with peanut butter and yogurt? But at the same time you have to eat something!

    Unhealthy wise it has to be Haribo's and gummy bears also love liquorice, healthy wise I have a craving for Lemon Greek style yogurt.
