    Those dark chocolate covered pretzel crisps. They're my Kryptonite. Last time they were in my house, a Costco-sized bag disappeared in two days. I'm not allowing myself to buy them anymore... :)

    Salty snacks - chips, tortilla chips, crackers. They aren't around unless we're having people over who will wipe out a bag. I can't moderate them.
    Also, loaves of "good" bakery bread. I can, and will, eat an entire baguette in a day.

    Icecream- Icecream bars and cones like drumsticks are my downfall but even a tub of icecream- I eat vegan but 100% of the time if icecreams there im eating it until im sick and its gone.

    Cookies, Cakes- Basically baked goods in general. Can have a bite and be like this isnt even THAT good- Wont matter its still a baked good ill eat it until its gone uncontrollably lol.

    And stuff like pizza- I used to buy huge pizza sales and freeze them- I would always think well i could freeze in 2 slice portions and just bring out and dethaw when having a busy day. Youd think itd work but nope. Id eat nothing but pizza until it was all gone.

    Im not really good at moderation thats why i like how i eat now lol, Dont really need to moderate

    I can have any of it in my house as long as I don't open it :). I have kids and a spouse who all like snacks and have no weight to lose so I don't want to restrict them. I find that I am fine as long as I don't start eating them. Container of red vines sitting in the pantry and I haven't touched them in weeks (not because I don't eat sweets but because I'd rather spend my left over calories on chocolate!). If I start eating them though all bets will be off!

    Ooh! That reminded me of another one. Haribo peaches. I'm usually more of a chocolate/frosting/cookie person and can leave non-chocolate candy alone really well (matcha milk hard candy in my desk is 17 cal/piece but I'll have like two per week). Not the case with Haribo peaches. Last time I bought some, I ate the whole bag on my drive home - which was maybe six miles!

    Cheese. Unless I need it for a specific recipe or something (then I'm good at waiting until I need to use it), I'll eat all of it pretty much straight away.

    Any food I keep out is purely stuff my husband abhors and won't eat. (IE squash, stewed tomatoes, mushrooms, and most any fish except for canned tuna which is only eaten once in a blue moon.) it doesn't make sense to me to have food that only one person is gonna eat.

    I've never been a salty person but this weekend I found out that veggie chips are a big fat NO in my house. Can't keep my hands off the things.

    AGREED. There was some weird "one more handful won't hurt" game going on.

    Cheddar rice cakes (or pop corners). Omg. Also I once ate them with nutella when I was feeling really gluttenous... so many regrets. Potato chips; I can only buy a small bag if at all. Halva. There are also these giant Costco ravioli I can't have; I used to eat them, cold, on crackers. How did I get fat? OH right.

    Chips. Chips, chips, chips. I can have candy, chocolate, ice cream in my house and I won't go crazy but chips for some reason are my one true weakness.

    I buy chips, but only the kinds my husband likes so he can still have them and I'm not as tempted. I don't buy my favorites or I'd have little self control... crunchy Cheetos and salt and vinegar :)

    I've been avoiding making bread. Nothing like fresh bread in the house to drive me into paroxysms of joyous gluttony. Is there anything better than still warm bread slathered in fresh butter? I think not.

    I stopped carrying change/small bills so I wouldn't hit up the vending machine at work.

    Potato chips, tortilla chips, dorritos, etc. I don't have a lot of self control with those things. About the only time I treat myself to potato chips is when we're on camping trips, and I just enjoy the hell out of them. We usually put out chips and salsa when we have people over. I can't remember the last time I had Dorritos...

    Walmart sells 1oz single servings for $0.50. It's the only way I can control myself.

    I don't have any food item I purposefully keep out of house. Everything in moderation and I guess my self-control is decent, lol.
