What has been / is your biggest food pitfall and how do you avoid it?
For me it is office food (cookies, doughnuts, granola bars, candies, and all other free food). This week I have not eaten any at all, thanks to MFT calorie tracker, and feel a big difference in how my jeans fit.

Flavored chips/crackers....
I can resist plain chips/crackers...but the flavored versions scream my name!! :noway:0 -
Hot Tomales candy. Like the box I'm working on as I type this!
So far I haven't figured out how to avoid them. Probably won't try. Gotta treat myself every now & then!0 -
Bread and chocolate. If they didn't exist, I don't think I'd need MFP !!!0
-
Crisps - especially Tayto, I could eat 12 bags in one sitting! They are my achilles heel, so much so, that I have cut them out from my lifestyle altogether, haven't had a single crisp in nearly 5 months.....and don't miss them one bit0

Grocery shopping. I feel like I have to taste everything I buy...right after I buy it.
Ex. once bought a bag 175g container of dried figs. Finished it within the next hour.0 -

Thank you! I just replaced crisps with healthier treats, at the moment Kallo Chocolate rice cake thins are my fave, and only 55 calories.0 -
For me, it is anything with sugar in it. I am good at work but then I get home and that is a struggle. I have 3 kids so we usually have some kind of sugary treat around. Not much... my daughter has type 1 diabetes so we do keep the sugar to a minimum in our household but the Halloween candy!!!0

mmmmm i love PB0 -
Donuts. 110%. Especially Persians (something you only find in Thunder Bay). uuuuuugh! i ate one today actually.0
-
Pizza. I even the healthier pizza is high in calories.0

WHITE BREAD. Whether it's naan, homemade, store bought, bagels .. This is my weakness.
How do I avoid it? Simple - I do not BUY it. No bread touches my plate while eating at a restaurant nor do I have it on my grocery list, which I have stuck to religiously.
If I eat bread it is always whole grain and only one slice (I have slipped once of twice on this rule and eaten a whole whole grain bagel) but mind you before I would eat TWO sandwiches - FOUR pieces of WHITE BREAD!
Keep your weaknesses as a treat or, like me, do not purchase them due to pure temptation.
Good luck!0 -
donuts all the way...I can avoid all sweets if needed but donuts are my kryptonite!0
-
-Fox's viennese melts
-Bourbon creams
-Jam sandwich creams
-Mr. Kipling's battenburgs
-Almond croissants, custard croissants
-Cinnamon raisin bagels, everything bagels, bagels
-Donuts
-Pringles (bbq flavored...)
-Yummy all natural oat bars!!
-Lindt truffles
I actually really enjoy listing all the food I wish I could eat right now but can't :O shocking0 -
Oh yeah, sweets of any kind, whether it be candy or baked goods. And pizza. Pizza is freaking awesome. I'm still working on self control so in order to keep my eating under control, I usually have to avoid them altogether if I want to stay on track. One day maybe I will get the out of control eating under control. I can have these foods in the house, but as long as I don't have any, I'll be fine. 2 items I cannot have in the house at the same time ever is chocolate ice cream and ridgies potato chips. I can have them in the house separately and avoid them. But when I have them in the house at the same time, the overwhelming desire to dip those chips in the melted chocolate ice cream is too much to resist. And then I really can't stop eating them.0

Bread.... Lots of bread.
So far, I haven't learned how to completely avoid it... but, I've done alright with watching my portions. (Most of the time.)0 -
For me it's icecream I still have it once in a while, however I only buy by the (one) scoop and no more tubs as I can't be trusted.0
-
Pizza..i love the stuff
enchiladas also...lol0 -
Ice cream, milkshakes, gummi bears. I sound like a giant second grader. :P lol.
and I just refuse to buy milkshakes and candy for myself.
The ice cream...I hide in the back of the freezer under everything else. If I can't see it, I don't think about it. And if I know I have to dig it out of there, I'm less likely to go to the trouble!0 -
dunkin' donuts iced coffees and coolatas...0
