Who can resist eating chips once you already had a few?

I love chips!! It wouldnt be bad if I can just eat a few but I wont be able to resist, and I would the finish the bag! So, in the end I always end up not even having one :( Anyone else have the same problem?

    I like chips, mostly with salsa. I used to eat a lot more, the whole eating out of the bag while watching TV thing. Now I buy the healthier ones if there is such a hing and count them out and put um in a bowl. Th

    An open bag is an invitation to eat "just a few more". If you have trouble with this, put the number you want into a bowl; close the bag and put it away before eating.

    u bet. chip addict - had chips today. just get the small bags - a SERVING isn't so bad. remember - this is about LIFESTYLE- NOT deprivation.
    If you LIKE chips, have some, just DON'T over-do it and know you have to WORK THEM OFF. so drop & give me 20 push ups!

    An open bag is an empty bag...have the same problem with cookies so I don't have any..I don't crave them unless I just have a little taste which never ends up just a little....

    At this point, I am not able to stop at just 1, so I just avoid them completely. I'm hoping that one day I'll be able to exercise more self-control and I'll be able to have a few then. But definitely, not now.

    Hot chips (probably fries to you!) are hard to resist. Once my lovely husband actually ordeedr me a side of "three chips" when I told him I wanted some but only a couple...

    If we're talking cold chips (crisps), I tend not to buy them because they are hard to resist, I think it's the saltiness. I've never eaten them very often, so not buying them is not a hardship.

    I love chips. Chips and dip. Or chips and salsa. Practically any kind. Don't even get me started on Pringles and Cheetos. I can't just have one! I don't even buy them because I can't resist!

    I buy tortilla chips now and occasionally eat potato chips if other people have them at a party or something. But I have to portion them out or else I have a hard time stopping after one serving!

    Yes I have a major salt tooth. I could go all year without eating sweets and be perfectly happy. Since starting MFP I purposely buy a bag for the kids in a flavor I do not like and every other pay day I'll buy the Special K Crackers that are sour cream and onion flavor.. 27 chips for 110 calories so I still get a taste now and then.

    Im with the person who said an open bag is an empty bag. Ive tried portioning out into smaller bags but then I just grab another smaller bag. :blushing: So Im with everyone in I need to totally stay away from it for now. Chips and dip used to be my Friday night dinner while watching my boys on Supernatural.

    I think it's the same people who are eating only 2 tbs of hummus.

    I agree with counting out a portion and putting the bag away. I absolutely love Donkey brand tortilla chips, so I make sure I get my 8 chips a few times a week. Best 140 calories I use all day!

    i can now. but that's mainly because they are so salty that i can get through too many without feeling like my lips are pruning up.
