    Red wine Plus portion control with pasta and rice Didn't realise that calories were for them cooked Massive portion distortion! Same with cornflakes, ice cold skimmed milk, my 3 am can't sleep snack

    My one go to food has always been pizza. Eating carbs for me to begin with is a big no no; however, pizza is like kryptonite to my weight loss. I'll spend a grueling week eating healthy, working out, drinking more water, and abstaining from desserts. Then by the weekend I'll realize I didn't make enough food to cover the weekend so what do I do? Order pizza of course. I'll promise myself left and right that all I'll eat is this one tiny piece and add a large salad on the side to curb any extra eating. It doesn't matter what I do. By the end of the night that pizza will be gone. I have no sense of will power or control when it comes to pizza.

    Cheese - a good sharp cheddar like Tillamook - no brakes. Lays Potato Chips and Heluva Dip - horrors. Tortilla chips and salsa -- eat until I'm sick. Then add cheese to that and oh my.... Nachos!! Just one serving? Have you actually seen what 1 serving of tortilla chips and 1 oz of cheese looks like? Nope - stay away.

    Trader Joes dark chocolate peanut butter cups. They are just too delicious and loaded with calories. I haven't had them in over a year, but used to have them all the time.

    Peanut butter and only peanut butter. I can moderate everything else except that stuff. The whole jar would be gone in 3 days... :lol:

    Fried mozzarella sticks
    Doritos
    potato chips
    cashews
    peanuts
    Indian buffet
    White Castle burgers (but then I regret it).
    Good bread
    And on and on and on. The more I think about it, the more I have trouble putting the brakes on a lot of stuff.

    There are many, many things I won't stock in my house for lack of moderation (although I will eat them when out or buy single servings occasionally): junk food (chips, snack cakes, cookies, candy, ice cream, ...), cheese (except low-fat cottage cheese since it has very high protein per calorie, and I have to pre-portion than out; and the mediocre pre-grated-in-a-canister parmesan/romano), bread, crackers, cereal. I buy fruit snacks (for running/cycling/gym workouts along with a box of electrolyte tablets), but keep them in the car (FYI- Betty Crocker fares better stored in a hot car than Kellogs). Also- wine is a no-go in terms of in-house storage.

    cottage cheese and sour cream - both are gone within way too few hours
    potato chips (especially if I've planned poorly enough to also have cottage cheese or sour cream around to dip them in)
    cinnamon rolls or cinnamon bread
    caramel corn or cheddar cheese popcorn
    ETA - Honey bunches of oats cereal. I will eat the whole box and still be hungry.

    Pizza - it's my kryptonite. I usually don't have many issues controlling my intake but put a pizza down in front of me and I'm done. I'll scarf down 4 large slices (probably somewhere between 2500 and 3000 calories) without batting an eye.

    We used to order pizza once a week at least but haven't done so in about 3 months now. My family isn't terribly happy about it but they understand (and they still have plenty of opportunities to get pizza on their own).

    Omg this. There's a Krispy Kreme on each end of my local shopping centre and I have to add invisible blinkers on my way in and out of there. One of them is right next to Pret as well, where I get my lunch most days. It's... a struggle.

    Girl Scout cookies. I've actually eaten an entire box of the coconut/caramel ones (samosa) in a work day. That's 975 calories!

    I bet several of us have done that. I have, with the samoas too!

    I have too. But in fairness, a box of GS cookies is still only like 4 cookies.

    My boxes come with like 15! Two rows, like Oreos. I think a box of 4 would be SO much more manageable!

    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'

    I'm like this too. I love cheese, don't get me wrong - I eat cheese with pretty much every meal - but I find it very filling and easy to portion out. I would be sad if I couldn't have it in the house.

    Peanut butter and cheese. Ice cream, to a lesser extent... I've been indulging in a pint of Halo Top or Enlightened every once in awhile and it helps with the craving!

    battered fried fish and chips (french fries) with tons of condiments - tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, catsup with vinegar on fries. My favorite food!

    Bread and soda.

    I still have bread regurarly but buy half loafs.

    Soda I had to cut out completely, there was no stopping me from drinking 4-6 a day if I have a whole case.

    Also apparently cookies, I never thought I was a huge cookie person, but we made some the other night, and I ate three and literally had to go to bed to stop eating more

    Severely limit: White flour, sugar, processed potatoes (still eat home made baked and mashed), white rice

    This type of cereal called Krave. I have eaten 2 boxes of it in ONE sitting before. I either ran out of cereal or ran out of milk. Every time I see it in the store, I cry a little inside because I know that realistically, I'll NEVER have the self control to just keep a box of it in the house.
