    My husband has a tub of muesli with these delicious sweet oat clusters on the kitchen counter, I had gotten into the bad habit of grazing on it.

    Of course muesli is awesome but nibbling on it adds up.

    Peanut butter - if it's not an inch thick I don't want any. It's awful to scale back :( Other culprits include cheese, chips, any small size chocolate bar and trail mix. I love snack-y foods and will munch away if left to my own devices.

    Foods! all the foods... This is why I'm here :tongue:

    But yeah chocolate and nuts are a particular weakness. I actually keep my peanut butter in the boot of my car so I actually have to make the decision to eat it otherwise I swear it just disappears and I have no idea how cos I live alone

    Derailment comes to me in the form of Cheeseburgers, Fries, oh and "Topic's" - anyone from the UK will know the awesomeness of topic bars :) and whilst we are there Starbars, Boost, Double Decker, Spira, Wispa Gold, Turkish Delight, and icecream!

    Also derailment came a month ago when I was in Italy for work and walked past some restaurant with the smell of fresh Italian pizza emanating from it!

    Anything sweet at all and anything covered in cheese. Makes me want them just writing about them. For me if its not in the house I just dont eat it - but if it is in the house my mind will not stop thinking about them until I just eat them to get them out of the house. My mind is out to get me !!

    It's not the food really - its the amount of food that can be the problem!

    potato wedges covered in cheese & bacon.


    ugh


    i avoid ALL of them, because i am still learning portion control. but once i know how to control myself better, i'm hoping i'll be able to eat those foods from time to time.

    McDonalds. I love it. It is my go-to fast food. I ate it about twice a month before this. Now I just can't even go. I even show up with my low calorie choices written down on a note, but the second I walk in I order my 1000 calorie usual lol. Now I reserve it only for special occasions or days I worked out a lot lol.

    To fit the British stereotype completely.. It has to be biscuits and tea for me. Nothing as comforting as a milky cup of tea and biscuits to dunk in!

    I do not buy biscuits as I will eat the whole packet. Especially maryland cookies or chocolate digestives etc.. SO good.

    I also find it hard to resist any bread that is given with main courses or before starters at restaurants etc...

    These are also pretty tempting:
    Cake
    Chocolate
    Salted nuts
    ICE CREAM. Forgot this one. This is majorly hard to only have a small bowl of. Ben and Jerrys you are pure evil.
