What has been / is your biggest food pitfall?

Right now it's the key lime pie I have in the fridge, but I've been very disciplined about eating one small slice a day.

Big BBQ style lunches - chicken, ribs, green beans drenched in butter, and lots of beer. That's what I miss the most.
Last time I did one of those - I was paying for it all week, doing an extra 30 min of exercise every day.
That's how much I love it - I'm willing to do 7 extra workouts for it.

reeses peanut butter cups or anything chocolate.

Fast food. As a student that commutes and has a job, sometimes it's hard to find quick and healthy foods on the go. I'm still working on finding a good solution. Like today I had to go straight from work to campus for a meeting and drive--thru was my only real option at the time.

Chinese food, sushi, cheese, cider, Sunday roast dinners, Friday night curries,crisps, wine, olive bread, polenta... Counting calories has made me much more aware of what I was consuming - I didn't think I was eating badly compared to lots of people I know, but the evidence stacks up once you start on this path. Plus being out of work and short on money has helped, lol

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!

Try the fire balls jaw breaker. They are small, low in calories and take forever to finish.

Booze, hands down.
Oh, and cheese. Booze and cheese.

Whenever I go into a supermarket which has a bakery section, and they pump the smell of fresh pastries and home-made cookies through the heater at the door so that as soon as you walk into the supermarket, you smell all of the goodies, it makes my mouth water.

This morning I was in the supermarket picking up a bottle of water and a healthy snack, and I had to battle with myself not to buy a big bag of freshly baked huge chewy cookies. I'm usually all in favour of everything in moderation and I allow myself to have naughty things regularly as long as I don't have too much of it. However, these particular cookies are about 350 calories each and you get 5 in a bag; I would honestly put them away in one sitting if you let me, I can't control myself with them. So I couldn't let myself buy them. I actually paced up and down the aisle for about 5 minutes, trying to rationalise to myself why I deserve them, until I just forced myself to walk out of the door!

Vanilla creme sandwich cookies, or caramel delites girlscout cookies, or Danish butter cookies, or swiss chocolate, or snack cakes. Cookies, chocolate, & cake.

Chips and dip! Oh how i miss thee!

Mine would be Oreo cookies. I absolutely cannot eat one or two. If I eat one, I'll eat the whole bag so I don't ever buy them. I just don't have the will power to have them in the house.

Ice cream
Chips
Chocolate
Bread

All these foods are in my home currently though I only had about five chips today.

Alligator is always my most difficult challenge

Pizza, & Cheez-Its.



But, for both, I've just learned to limit myself.
Like...for pizza, I'll only get a personal pan, or just one giant slice that'll satisfy that craving.
For Cheez-Its I never buy the box--I always get the vending machine sizes, so I won't overeat them.

Anything and everything after 7 pm....I do good alll day, but the second I settle in for the night I can't say no any longer and will make trip after trip into the kitchen for 'snacks'....blah

Twizzlers and Sour Gummie Worms are my trigger foods. Once I eat them, I can't stop. It's the two things I absolutely can not buy for myself.
