What food is most likely to derail your diet?

Hello fellow fitness pals,

I just wrote a blog about my most binge-tempting food, which is cereal. It's kind of a strange food to binge on. What food is most likely to temporarily derail your weight-loss efforts? Are you able to resist pigging out when it is available, or do you prefer to not keep it in the house?

I'd be happy if I could stick to no more than one bowl of cereal a day, but it is oh, so tempting to eat more!

    Not a food, a drink - Coca-Cola. I avoid keeping it in the home.

    THIS. Sugar cereals in particular. My personal favorites are Churro cereal, Reeses Puffs, and Oh's!. I could seriously just eat the whole box and keep going.

    Flaming Hot Cheetos. I could EASILY mindlessly consume an entire, large bag in one sitting.

    Crisps. Any crisps. All the crisps.

    I can easily put away a family sized bag- 900 calories- and then eat my dinner

    Pringles. My daughter loves them and I have no willpower!

    Chocolate candy. Fun-size bars especially, or assortments of truffles, toffee, and/or other chocolates. I cannot pace myself and eat that stuff over a reasonable period of time. It is like one's too many and nine is not enough. So I just don't buy or keep that stuff in the house, or I share it with someone to stay accountable. This is my big challenge at holidays too...especially Halloween and Christmas.

    Potato chips and cookies. Any kind of cookies, I love them all except those with coconut or coffee. LOL I can't keep either in the house.

    There's a churro cereal?!? I also can't have sugary cereals in the house for the same reason.

    Goldfish - the extreme cheddar kind. I literally cannot just eat a serving of those freaking things, once I open the bag it is GONE. :brokenheart:

    Pastries.
    I live in France and the choice of wonderful fresh-baked pastries makes it hard to resist.
    The mille-feuille being the worst culprit for me (a sort of cream or custard double-layered flaky pastry topped with a fondant icing layer). Damn they're good.

    Cheese. I have a package of cheese cubes in the fridge calling for me. It can be gone in 2-3 days.

    Pizza. And chips. Particularly cheesy flavored chips. Even if I don't love them I will eat an entire bag of chips, so I can't have them in the house.

    Oreos. I made the mistake of buying a pack at work the other night (I work for a grocery store and they were 2 for $5!) and, well, I ate a whole row on the way home from work. My commute is 7 minutes.

    Pizza!! Fresh or frozen, doesn't matter. I've learned some self control since my 14 year old son eats them for a snack, there is almost always one available.

    -Pizza
    -Takeaway
    -Krispy Kreme
    -Those melt-in-the-middle chocolate puddings
    -Nachos
    -Juicy burgers
    -Fried chicken
    -Steak! (I mean the BIG ones)

    and unfortunately... nuts. I know they're a healthy fat, but not in the amounts I can eat them. Have switched from roasted, salted assortment to natural walnuts though!
