    The following items have a life-time ban in my home:

    1. anything that says "low calorie/low-fat/fat-free"
    2. microwave popcorn
    3. white sugar*
    4. white flour*
    5. anything with artificial anything in it.

    *unless its Christmas season and I'm baking cookies, just because I don't eat it, doesn't mean I will deny others of my yummy baked goods.

    Nature's Valley Peanut Butter Crunchy Granola Thins. OMG I love them. They are so tiny and have 90 calories each. One is not so bad. But the box has 10 and I could absolutely eat every single last morsel in one sitting. So I cannot buy them. That's 900 calories!

    Cheetos
    Chips of any kind
    Peanut butter cookies....

    All three of these I can't contain myself, it really is embarrassing how much of these items I can eat at once. ;)

    REALLY tricky to ban anything when I have 2 teenage sons who can eat for England, and regularly require copious amounts of anything yummy.
    However, I avoid looking in the cupboard where we store...
    1. Twiglets
    2. Chocolate (but only Cadbury presents a major problem)
    3. "proper"bread, eg bloomer, farmhouse, onion, tiger, cobber... Basically the ones that taste great and HAVE to be eaten before they go stale.
    4. Chocolate cake.
    5. Ben and Jerry phish food ice cream.

    PS What are "goldfish"? Other than the obvious?

    I don't completely remove anything from my diet, but there are things that I have much more of a tendency to overeat...

    1) Nutty Bars (or any pb and chocolate deliciousness)
    2) Better Cheddars or Cheez-Its (I have to buy individual packs.)
    3) Cheese Ravioli (I want to eat like a box at a time.)
    4) Pita bread (I eat this with hummus and feta and could probably go through a whole bag of it.)
    5) Dove chocolate promises (I like the chocolate and the little quotes, and then all of a sudden, there are lots of foils around me!)

    It's mostly carbs and cheese. Anything with both is awesome. Ravioli, cheese fries, mashed potatoes, cheese toast, nachos, all that kind of stuff.

    Peanut Butter... I'm not sure what it is about peanut butter but if it's in the house I will find away to eat it until it's gone.... So I'll be like ohhhh pb toast for breakfast pb and banana for a snack pb sandwich for lunch pb and apples for a snack pb on anything for dinner... I've eaten a whole jar in 2-3 days... so now I just don't buy it. I have no control when it comes to Peanut Butter!

    This plus nuts!!!

    Ooooh, now that IS a tough question!

    My top five answers are:

    Homemade chocolate tiffin, (i make a mean tiffin!)

    Chocolate covered raisins

    Toast, (although somewhat luckily i managed to blow up the toaster so i can't physically make any toast so it's OK to buy bread again. I will quite happily eat half a sandwich, but get me started on toast and that's half a loaf gone).

    Ice-cream, any kind

    Wine. I know it's not technically a food, but it is full of calories, and if there is an open bottle in the flat then a relaxing glass in the evenings becomes all too tempting.

    1. Chips of any kind. I don't care if they're baked, kettle chips, regular potato chips, ripples, or tortilla. I'm a sucker for them all.

    2. Crackers. Ritz, saltine, goldfish. (I mean, come on... who only eats FIVE saltines? Please)

    3. The Keebler cookies with three generic M&Ms on them. Rainbow chip, maybe? Paired with milk and I'm toast.

    4. Mini candy bars around the holidays.... mostly Twix.... youch

    5. Certain sugary cereals, like Captain Crunch and Apple Cinnamon Cheerios

    1) Most bread (I eat Ezekiel bread sometimes)
    2) ALL candy
    3) ALL baked goods
    4) ALL ice cream
    5) Pasta

    There are days when I feel depressed because I cannot eat the things I love (the aforementioned list) due to the fact that I cannot control myself - once I start, I find it difficult/impossible to stop.

    Yes, oyster crackers for me - by the handful

    I don't completely deprive myself of the things I like, but it it's on my list of "banned" items, I have to not be able to get more of whatever it is. Like sure, I'll have a cup of goldfish...but only if I can't get to the rest of the package, because I'll go get more and more until it's gone. I'll have a dove chocolate or two, but only if I don't have access to the bag because I won't stop at two. I have a serious inability to control myself around certain junk foods (and some healthy foods like roasted cauliflower), so until I learn self control better...I can't keep them in the house. Luckily, my daughter is too young to want any of that stuff yet, so I'm not tempted by having it in the house for her!
