    For me it's kettle cooked potato chips and Cheese-its. I can't just stop at a reasonable portion....I do not buy those at all anymore

    Poptarts [even if I SWEAR I will only eat a single pastry as a treat every now and then], wheat thins, cookies...it just doesn't work out well. Also pizza, gummy bears, any kind of fun sized candy bar or chocolate....

    I just don't keep them in the house so I am not tempted. If I only stock somewhat healthy things, then I will eat those. Except I will go on a binge of healthy food, as well, so...meh.

    Anything in a large quantity. Like a whole cake or bag of something. I recently went to the store and saw that Entemann's bakery cakes were 2 for the price of one. I was thinking,when I was able to eat this..(younger and more active) it was always $5-$6 a single box. I started to think how much of a savings that was and almost caved. Then I realized, I was just finding a way to justify getting it home.Of course once in my pantry regretting the purchase and myself for concocting such an excuse. Now ,if I have the urge and feel I can fit a slice into my day...I purchase the single wrapped pieces. Then I wont have a whole cake whispering at me for the next few days or so ! ( You know they do!) So the answer for me would be large quantity of ANYTHING. Even ALMONDS! I can go through 25 in 10 minutes !

    Brownies. I make a pan once a year and eat the whole thing in two days. Otherwise I'm in big trouble.

    Leftover Italian food. There's something about cold pizza or lasagna that calls my name.

    Processed foods.

    We did a pretty good job of getting rid of all those, "Easy to prepare" and instant food packages. Basically anything that has ingredients that we don't recognize or too far from the farm.

    Now we keep it simple with fruits, veggies and meats

    Is kinda funny seeing how empty the cabinet is vs. The fridge. ..lol

    My weakness is bakery stuff. Breads, especially Swedish rye, Blueberry muffins, cookies etc. Just better not to have them handy. I do treat myself once in a while if I earn extra from exercise. A girl has to know her limitations!

    Crisps. Especially salt & vinegar, ketchup or salted.
    It's like the bag is full of Sirens and they're calling me...calling me to eat them all.

    I cant have peter pan creamy peanut butter in the house at all. Just passing it on the shelf and I picture myself eating out of the jar with a big spoon. Yummy. I have picked it up many times but when I turn it around and see all the fat grams in only 2 tablespoons I immediately put it back on the shelf. If I get any peanut butter for my hubbie then its got to be crunchy other brand cuz I hate crunchy. lol

    Black licorice. That's a weird one, I know, since so many people hate licorice! I shouldn't have coffee ice cream in the house, either, but since I started this plan, I'm actually measuring my 1/2 cup serving and not having it every day, so maybe I can manage that one.
