I usually find I have developed good willpower when it comes to staying away from food or limiting myself (especially thanks to mfp and calorie counting). However I have to make sure if eating krispie kremes I buy just the one instead of a box as I would eat half a dozen then and there.
What foods do you stay away from that would lead you to a binging session?

Biscuits and lollies. Can not stop at one or two, if packet is open, then it gets finished immediately. Am teaching myself to have biscuits in the house by having portion controlled packets (25g each) of cookies so that I can learn to enjoy them and stop when I finish the mini pack.0

Mines crisps :-( if I have a bag of walkers crisps it turns into 4-5 bags of crisps :-( I just can't stop myself0
-
Home made soups with noodles, spagetti w/ meat sauce, cake, ice cream, chocolate chips cookies, ... refined carbs basically (sugar)0
-
Alfajores. If I have a package in my house, I have this desperate need to finish it in one day.
Thankfully I only buy them when I have visits haha.0 -
Donuts. I can resist everything else, bring a dozen donuts into the house and I'll eat them all.0
-
Cereal, cookies, brownies, cake, ice cream, fridge biscuits (pillsbury crescents, homestyle biscuits, etc.), homemade tortillas, Doritos. I would say bad carbs!0
-
Any type of pasta also, but I've been working on how to handle the amount when I do have it.0
-
Cereal.0
-
Bread of any kind.
This..and rolls!0 -
Cheesecake. I can't have a portion size that fits in my plan. It's 750 calories (or more) or nothin'. A few times a year I just go for it and plan a loooong walk the next day. It's worth it to me.0
-
small cookies, snack size anything (snack size snickers, snack size kit kat, how can you stop?!), cake
I have a bad sweet tooth.0 -
Popcorn, crisps, fizzy pop...0
-
Chocolate and cereal bars.That's why I've stopped buying them,and now I buy chocolate cappuccinos instead,they are a lot lower in calories and I don't binge on them.0
-
nutella!0
-
Anything that goes good with Ranch, BBQ, or Honey Mustard.
Most the time Pizza sets me off.0 -
Pizza...oh man. I can avoid going back for more with most meals, but I can eat an entire large pizza myself if left unchecked.0
-
Delivery pizza.
Mac and cheese.
otherwise, I am a chocoholic but have managed to be able to keep that in portion control. Took me forever!0 -
sweets. anything sweet leads me to binge0
-
Any food. Because it's not the type of food that triggers but my state of mind...0
-
anything with chocolate! or sweets (my mother in law gives a huge sack of haribo,crisps and chocolate for my other half and the kids and I can never resist! thank god the crisps are 90cals a bag!)0
-
ANY carb rich food!!! I can eat a whole box of pasta and not blink...it just doesn't fill me up! Also ice cream...it's baaaaaaaad.0
-
Cookies are my weakness. Love crispy anything. Chips, tortilla chips, pretzels,0
-
Pasta and meatballs... Or pizza. Or just cheese. Loads of it...0
-
Crisps!0

I have a couple: pizza, specifically the Two for Tuesday deal...I only have takeaway once a week, but if that day happens to land on a Tuesday, all bets are off. Why get one pizza when I could have two? Thus the second pizza is waiting in the fridge for me Wednesday morning, and that's how takeaway night sometimes lasts two days.
Also, a packet of Oreos (I find it impossible to stop at one or two) or whenever I bake something sweet.
How close physically the temptation is can also be a factor...if it's within arms reach, chances of me reaching over to have a couple are pretty good. My solution? When I realise I'm binging, I chuck it across the room. Sorted.0 -
O man...binging is by far my WORST habit to overcome...I find myself binging when I'm around ****ty food in general...any time I'm out to eat it's like I use it as a license to over eat...pizza, greasy stuff, desserts...I've gotten better and it really helps to surround myself and ONLY go out with people who don't share the same problem.0

For me, it would have to be potato chips and onion dip. Chips alone? No problem. Pair them with onion dip, and I'm in trouble. Yummy trouble, to be sure, but trouble.0

ANY SWEETS...!! :-/ That's why I don't buy any...0 -
CARBS! cookies and cake especially. I try to keep them out of the house!0
-
Any Reese's products slay me. I am defenseless in their majesty.
Also, carbs. Bread, pasta, pancakes, waffles, cereal, potatoes, chips, cake, rice, bagels, cookies...It feels unjust to deprive my body of massive quantities of their deliciousness.0
