Costco sells a Chicago Mix (cheese and caramel corn) that is basically crack in a bag!
Recently discovered bacon and caramel popcorn. Dear God.
That sounds amazing.0 -
My mother's rice and beans, omg.0

Honey graham crackers and Aldi's chocolate covered almonds1

I know I couldn't even outrun backsliding to obesity on my ultra training program if I still ate brownies, cinnamom buns or oreos. Cream cheese frosting may have been created to destroy me

Chips and dip. If I buy it, I'll eat it all.2
-
For me it's Ruffles and french onion dip and any type of cheese. Love salty, crunchy. In the last month I've started eating mostly plant based which is no meat, dairy, or eggs. That took care of the onion dip and cheese.1
-
Nutella.
I could down the jar in less than 12 hours...6 -
Scooby doo honey graham cracker sticks. I will eat half a box in one sitting and I've never done that with another food before.1
-
Chocolate of any kind has that effect on me, but I still eat it. I had a big kit kat today and it was glorious2
-
Peanut butter. If there's a jar of it in the house, I'm in it with a damn spoon. I have some pb2 in the house, but it's not exactly spoon worthy.
I've told my husband if he wants a jar I will buy it, but he has to hide it well. He was reluctant at first, but after he asked why and I told him what I'd been doing, he's been a little bit more understanding.5 -
Jif creamy peanut butter. I swear I could eat that stuff with a trowel. Also crusty bread rolls with butter, and my own chocolate chip cookies. I'll make a batch and send some to work with my husband and take the rest to weaving night with friends. Like others, I can have one when I'm with other people, but left alone with them I do desperate things.1

Anything 'snack-ie' - crackers, popcorn, even cereal.
Also, can't have any sort of nut butter in the house - (what is it? So many people have this pb addiction???)
...anything sweet is a dangerous thing - ice cream, cookies, chocolate even dates!
I 'make do' with jello and yogurt with berries lol!0 -
Chardonnay--I do fine with any other variety of wine. And Jif whipped peanut butter, I can (and have) eat the entire tub in a day.
I tried that thinking it'd be irresistibly delicious and surprisingly I didn't like it. THANK GOD! But give me a spoon and a regular jar of smooth, creamy Jif and I'm doomed. Lol!0 -
cookies. any kind. homemade, store bought, stale, crispy, soft, fresh, hot, cold...you get the idea. cookies and tea is my happy place...trying to break the association and just have TEA make me happy. not quite there... lol0
-
salty - anything crunchy
sweet - anything gooey
barbque sauce on anything
triggers - ice cream and potato chips. Just need to delete them from my mouth.0 -
This whole thread is making me so hungry. I should have never joined this thread!!!!5
-
Donuts/pastry. Have to buy them singly. Same goes for most chocolate candy, but oddly there are exceptions...if I bought a bag of fun-size Snickers it would be disastrous, but I can buy 2 large bars of Ghirardelli and share with my husband over a span of a couple weeks.
I am able to pace myself well with ice cream, whether pint, gallon, or treats like ice cream sandwiches. But that's my husband's thing, he will just eat the entire container/box so we only get ice cream "out", by single serving.0 -
chips, cheese and cocktails0

There are many foods that fit that bill for me (mostly any junk food), but I think peanut butter is the most dangerous one for me. I tend to use peanut butter more as a dip than a spread, just dunking food away in the jar.
Oh look, I have chocolate covered almonds, I wonder what they'd taste like covered in peanut butter? Let's find out!
This banana bread is a little dry, peanut butter would surely help make this taste smoother.
These chocolate chip cookies are good, but what if they were peanut butter chocolate chip cookies? Peanut butter to the rescue!
This granola bar is okay but you know what would make it better? That's right! PEANUT BUTTER!
Yeah, I have to keep peanut butter as far away as possible.

I can't think of anything.
I just seem to have just gotten used to buying a wide variety of treats in single serves.
I only used to pig out on anything before I learned to count calories in April 2015.1 -
Cheese is like crack for me. I can't have it in the house.
Ditto. I will go through an 8-10 oz block of swiss in a day and a half.
I also have a difficult time with tubs of ice cream. Single serving items are okay, but a half gallon of chocolate or cookies and cream? Ugh. So hard to control it.1 -

I'm surprisingly okay with cheese. In fact, it's become my distraction snack. If I'm craving something sweet or salty, I'll have a 25g chunk of cheese and find that curbs the original craving and satisfies me, whereas if I gave into temptation and had a bag of crisps, I would find it difficult to stop at one.
I'm definitely a salt girl though. Love crisps, nuts and maize snacks. Because my boyfriend isn't dieting, he likes to have crisps in the house, which is definitely a struggle. If he doesn't actively ask me to add crisps to the online shopping order though, I'll 'forget'3 -

I am so envious of people who can do that with cheese. "If one serving is good, 5 is better!"

I'm pretty ok with moderating most things, even though it may be difficult to portion control ice cream and other desserts I can usually do it so I buy those things regularly.
But I don't buy muffins or breakfast pastries because they are too many calories and I get hungry too fast so I end up way overeating that day if I do that. I miss having a big fluffy blueberry muffin from the bakery for breakfast but it is one of the only things I've drawn the line and said too many calories for what it is.0 -
Cheese and crackers. Ice cream.
Lately I've learned how to slice cheese about a millimetre thick, so that it melts on my tongue. No crackers.
The problem is that I keep wanting several millimetres.0 -
Anything with cheese, esp mac n cheese and shrimp n grits (grew up with both and so they are just so satisfying to my emotional palette).
Pastries
Almond butter
Cookies
Brownies
Nutella
I have learned that I can overeat anything that I find overly delicious, so I have to keep it out of the house and only have it on vacation.1 -
Regular soda, potato chips, and fastfood side dishes & desserts.0

Recee's peanut butter cups. I once bought a pack of 40 of Amazon thinking I can treat myself once in a while ,it did not end well.7

ETA I don't actually abstain from these things, as banning things just makes them more appealing to me. I limit my access to them.
Crunchy nut is definitely laced with something. I've been known to plow through a whole box in less than a day. Stupid delicious cereal.0
