    I don't have any particular food that makes me *want* to binge. For me, it's more of a psychological frame of mind. Food days at work make me want to binge because there are so many yummy things and it's all free. :laugh:

    White bread, you know the lovely, squishy, soft stuff? I cant have it anywhere near me especially if there's marmite in the house!

    Ha ha me too. When there is none in the house I am fine. Once a loaf hits the kitchen I go mad with it. Toast with scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, poached eggs. Toast with marmite, jam or marmalade. Sandwiches with ANYTHING I can put in it. Soup and bread. You get the picture. I no longer keep butter/spread in the house and it helps discourage me buying bread.

    Also Malteasers. They are the Pringles of the confectionery world. An open box is an empty box!

    All of the above! Well, pretty much.

    Chips, peanut M&Ms, peanut butter, nutella...I think those are the worst for me.

    ETA: I don't have a solution, so I'm defintiely open to suggestions!

    Trisket especially the rosemary flavored. I have to count out a serving, put the box back and then LEAVE IT ALONE!

    It used to be crisps but now it's candy :I And I guess I should also say diet coke because even if it doesn't have any calories, it makes me crave a ton of unhealthy stuff.

    anything sweet.. especially candy, chocolate, cookies, cupcakes, etc.

    i don't keep them around... if i reallyyyyyy really want something, i force myself to get off my butt to go out and get it (most of the time my laziness wins that battle, so i end up staying at home and taking a nap instead of wasting my time/money at the store). also, fruit. i've noticed that if i don't eat a certain amount of fruit, i start really craving sweets. (sugar/carbs? i guess.. dunno.)

    My trigger foods:

    Ravioli, especially the Chef Boyardee brand, was definitely a trigger food. I'd eat the whole can by myself. If it wasn't for the fact that other people were living in my house, I'd eat another if I could. Due to cutting off wheat and pasta, I no longer eat it.

    Cereal with almond milk was my "crack." Before I started on MFP, I'd eat a 3-cup bowl of cereal and would finish it, then get another one! There were days that I'd finish a box all on my own in one day (my brother and sister HATED that). The favorites? Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Froot Loops, and Golden Grahams. Special mention: Honey Nut Cheerios! I no longer eat this either, but I consume the milk with a banana (or two if possible).

    A lot of the foods that I used to eat were wheat based: crackers, cookies, cake, bread, cereal, etc. I couldn't get enough! Now I no longer eat these foods (or if I do, I stop at a cup or a serving, but thankfully it hasn't been often since I started).

    My mom's lasagna :blushing: I could finish the whole oven dish (4-persons). God, that lasagna is good :-D I avoid it now, it's easier now that I don't live at my mom's anymore :)
    Mac & Cheese and Spaghetti are also treacherous :)
    oh, and soup! Could eat the whole pot!

    Probably just easier to say everything for me I think, especially at the moment.

    Pepsi is my downfall at the moment though - if I have a rum & coke/pepsi, it has to be full fat - just doesnt taste right with diet drinks (Then again maybe I should add rum to my trigger food - once I start I don't want to stop :smile: )

    For me it's mainly chocolate, so I try to avoid having it at home. And ice cream is the same. I just can't stop and put it back to the freezer. (=___=;;)
    Every time I go shopping I usually spend about a good 5-10 minutes looking at the chocolates, cookies and so, but most of the time I get home without buying any of them.

    Pastry...

    I can't even buy donuts because if I do, that is all I will eat... until they are completely gone...
    I have been donut and sweet roll free since I have started this journey.
    I figured once I get much closer to goal, I will re-introduce them but only purchase one at a time.
    No dozens at a time for me anymore...
