Ditto... especially with chips - even worse if those chips are with dip (including chips/salsa)... popcorn... cheese and crackers (I cheese!)... trail mix....0 -

This thread is making me hungry! :blushing:0

I love chips and salsa!! I have started just allowing myself to eat them at work, and I count out the chips that I take with me so that I have a forced limit -- as long as I can resist eating them at home! I also love grapes and eat a lot of them, but I don't think that is such a bad thing?0

Fresh Italian bakery bread. I could eat easily eat a loaf myself. I was running errands with my sister this morning. We had stopped at a bakery for a thank you tray for some of the professionals that had been taking care of our mom. She bought a pizza roll. The smell made me drool. It was killing me to be locked in a car with it!! But yes, mine would have to be fresh Italian bakery bread.0

Oh yeah, chips and salsa. Especially those with lime. OMG, this thread is making me hungry.... backing out now. *drool* :grumble:0 -
I have started keeping a list of all the foods that I know will cause me to overeat. There are some foods that no matter how many times I tell myself I will only eat a little bit I end up eating MULTIPLE servings.
Here is my list so far:
-Jellybeans/Smarties
-Pizza
-Sugary Cereal
-Chips and Salsa and regular potato chips
-Cheese
-Grapes
What foods are your trigger foods? Do you just avoid them or have you found a way to control the amount you eat?
I know exactly what you mean! It's sweets for me, ESPECIALLY chocolate! Cakes are a no-go now too.
You see, if I could just have ONE cake or ONE chocolate bar per week, I would be happy to treat myself accordingly. However, I many not know myself through and through but I sure as hell know that once I start I continually crave more of those sweets, choccie and cakes.
If I can manage, at a time when I feel strong(ish) and cut them out for a couple of days, I am fine and actually feel tons better too. Feeling so much better, you would think would be a good incentive for not eating them though wouldn't you. No, not me, I can't just do things in moderation, it has to be the whole damn vending machine or nothing! :laugh:
Actually, just thinking about it makes me want to go and kick the door in! :explode:0 -
Peanutbutter is the worst for me! I just love it! I like the Jiff stuff but it is the allnautral.organic peanut butter that I just love. It is a miracle if I can stop myself, but lately I have been getting better. Carbs in general make me want to over eat.0

Fries. Especially steak fries. Usually I only start to crave them after a few glasses of pinot grigio. Another reason I should cut back on the wine.0

- sour cream & onion chips
- any type of cookie
- ice cream
- peanut butter
- grapes
I've realized that anything layed out in bowls (ex. nuts, m&ms) is nearly impossible for me to resist0 -
Salty & crunchy is my downfall. As long as I stay away from sweet stuff I'm okay so I just don't start with them. I love Chester's corn puffs (kind of like popcorn) so if I get a bag I immediately divide it up into 1 serving size baggies. That really seems to work for me with the portion control and I feel like I ate the whole bag. I even had to throw some away because it got stale, which is a first for me.0

...PEANUTS!!!!! I can't buy them without opening them in the car and then half of the container is gone by the time I'm home!0

Chips
Chips & Salsa
Jelly Beans
Hershey & Cadbury Chocolate Eggs

It really depends on the day or not whether I can portion but I really have to watch myself with the following-
peanut butter
cereal (I snack on it dry)
Chex Mix
chocolate
ice cream0 -
Lotus, your post made me laugh so hard the water I was drinking came out my nose. It's only because I am EXACTLY the same way! :laugh:0

Me too :sad:0 -
I agree, any of those foods, anything that is sweet, makes me want to overeat...chips aren't too bad, but sugar-good or bad-makes me want to eat all or more!0

Rice
Iced Coffee
M&M's
Can't think of anymore right now.0 -
