Do you have a food/drink that you have to abstain from?

I thought this might be a fun discussion. My kids were teasing me last night because I haven't bought chocolate covered almonds in a long time. We used to have a Costco bag of them in the cupboard all the time. I can't have them in the house because that is definitely a food with no brakes for me! Any other chocolate, I can stop. Chocolate covered almonds are a buy just a serving from the bulk food section now. More expensive dollar wise but less expensive calorie wise. ;)
Do you have a no brakes food and, if so, what is it?

    It's Oreos for me. If they are in my house, I cannot stop thinking about them. I will make 100 trips into the pantry and get "just one"...until the bag is empty. I swear if I'm really quiet I can hear them calling my name in there!!

    I so get it. "Just a few" chocolate covered almonds...until the bag is gone!

    Sugar frosted cookies, I only buy them 2-3x/year. They are so good!

    Bacon flavoured puffy snacks. Definitely for special occasions only.

    Caramel covered popcorn.

    It appears around my office around Christmas and if I start eating it I don't stop.

    Honey Nut Cheerios. I've been doing better with portions but I really should stop buying it. But it was the staple of my childhood so if it's not in the pantry (where I keep it on the highest shelf, hidden behind things), I feel like there's no food in the house.

    For the last 15 or so years I've "abstained" from:
    Candy, pastries, cookies, potato chips, sugary drinks.

    And I don't buy tortilla chips.

    Cheese. I have to avoid a lot of foods how health and religious reasons, but cheese was the last thing to go. It is definitely something that I can't moderate at all, so I have to remind myself how it will make me feel everytime I'm tempted.

    Caramel corn and peanut M&M's. Really any chocolate covered nut.

    Costco sells a Chicago Mix (cheese and caramel corn) that is basically crack in a bag!

    Trader Joe's sells it too. I have just turned my head and walked away from it because I know even tasting it would be dangerous for me. I love salty/sweet combos.

    For some reason that combo always sounds ick to me, although it seems to be popular at the moment. (I really hate powdered cheese anyway, so am not the target customer.)

    I always wonder why it's called "Chicago mix."

    Gummy bears and other gummy candies.
    Taiwanese pineapple cake.
    Hagen Daazs icecream.

    I've stayed away from them for 4 months now. Eventually I'll get to the point where I will trust myself to try reincorporateing them back into my diet, but for now I doubt my self control. I could easily sit and work my way through the whole
    package in a few hours.

    Utz brand rippled potato chips. Salty and crunchy....mmmmmmm. Basically any potato chip is bad news for me, but those Utz rippled ones are the worst. So I just don't bring them into the house. Every once in awhile we go to Subway and I will get a bag of chips there to go with my sub. But that's it.

    I like the description of "food with no brakes." Good one!
