Lindt Excellence 70% cocoa smooth dark chocolate in my refridge. I eat 1 square when the chocolate cravings hit too hard.

    I hide some foods from my kids, because there are three of them and only one of me! But they are not vices. I hide my almonds, cashews, my ghiardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips, I hide the Kale Chips and some fruits.

    But I buy them things that they can have that are great snacks, but when I NEED some almonds, I want to know that they are there.

    I pick up a Russell Stover S'Mores bar every week at the grocery store and enjoy it after a long bike ride. Just enough richness and sweetness and at 230 calories not a diet-killer.

    I don't hide food as a vice. I have completely changed the way I am eating now. When I want some chocolate I drink a chocolate protein shake and that is enough for me. Maybe the only thing I have to tell my kids to leave alone is my boiled eggs that I have set aside for myself because they will eat mine too if they think they can have them.

    Nothing. Food is fuel, not a vice.

    ^This. And if you are "hiding" food (minus because your kids might attack with no cares on punishment)....then you need to take some time to rethink how you are dealing with things.

    Luckily, secret food and thinking of eating as a vice are long in the past for me.

    Also, the fridge is not a good hiding place for food.

    I only hide food because of the SO he eats everything and a lot of it. I think he likes chocolate 100x more then I do.

    Mine just figured out how to jump on top of my fridge, where I normally keep it. Other than that, I eat as I so please.

    My cat shreds through wrappers to eat bread. He is so naughty!

    One time, my cat somehow (still don't know how) got from the refrigerator to the laundry room door and was stuck up there until I came to save him. I always keep that door open because I keep their litter box in the laundry room, but the door had to be all the way open for him to get up there and I have no idea how he stabilized it so he could get on top.

    I use the word "vice" very lightly- as in "I know it's not good for me but I like it and I'm going to eat it on occasion and thoroughly enjoy it". Nothing more, nothing less.

    I was so scared when I first got my cat because he actually eats the plastic. He does the same with donuts when they're in the little box thingy.

    I don't think I've ever been fat enough on the inside to hide food. :huh:

    I have, however, told a cheeseburger that I'm going to make it my *****.

    Are our cats twins? Seriously one of my cats will eat absolutely anything, including attempting to eat insulation... YUCK!

    Edit: To answer OP, the only things I keep hidden are the bags of Easter candy that I don't want my children to devour without thought to the repercussions...

    I don't hide anything....anymore. I don't buy anything I don't feel is in my health plan. My willpower is getting better but, why tempt myself? Oh, and I've learned, If I've got something that I don't want my family to eat, I mark it, "MOM's". Hell hath no fury like a hungry mom. LOL

    I have to hide crackers (like those garlic triskets) deep in the cupboard. I'll still eat them and measure out a serving, but if I can see them and start just absent-mindly snacking then I'll eat an entire box


    I also do recipe development and food writing so I bake 4-6 times a week, like really delicious bad for you stuff. And I have to eat as I go to make sure it works but once I've eaten one cookie/small piece of cake or whatever I package it up RIGHT AWAY to be given away. Otherwise I pick, pick, pick at it when it's sitting out

    It's crazy but I have to hide my Amy's organic lentil vegetable soup from my son, I buy him his own stash but he will usually eat through mine also if I don't hide it. Also my gluten free cereal, he doesn't have a problem with gluten ... I get him glutenous cereal but he will still attack mine if he runs out of his.
    Basically anything that I want to eat later I have to hide from the human vacuum...er.... I mean my teenage son... except my Kombucha.

    (I secretly keep the bottles and put other liquids in them just to deter him....lol)

    My other cat licks the adhesive off of tape. The one who eats bread will seriously eat anything. Bacon, noodles, chocolate, beer (he drank beer I spilled), broccoli, peanut butter (funny as fvck to watch), cupcakes, absolutely freaking anything. The only thing I've ever seen him spit out was a tomato.

    I don't keep tempting foods anywhere at home.

    If I'm really craving something I go to the store and purchase it, and usually just thinking about all of the time/energy to do so outweighs my urge to eat it.

    Love the Amy's kitchen soups (the lentil is super yummy). Just discovered the spanish rice and bean one today. Almost went back to tesco to buy 5 more cans it was that good haha. Shame they are so high in sodium.

    I don't really hide anything but I keep my almonds, granola bars and any candy I buy in my room. I stopped buying the candy though because I didn't feel good eating them all by myself.

    Carbonara con cipolla. I keep it hidden in Italy. It's been nearly 20 years since I've had a bowl. :ohwell:
