    Just curious as to the banning mentality...because you have an "issue", adversion, "problem", whatever you want to call it with a specific food... no one else in your household is allowed to enjoy it? Seems like it's your burden, not theirs.

    I can only think of 2 things, Brussel sprouts and pickles...blech, blah, gah. In theory I should like pickles but I just can't seem to be enticed enough to want to try one.

    5) Snickers Ice Cream Bars ( or any ice cream for that matter)


    What are yours?

    I wheep for you and yours. No ice cream. :sad:

    Banned? Kale, that's about it.


    Agree with you on that one MAG..


    Only thing not allowed in my house is NUTELLA ! Everything else is Welcome. If your going to succeed you need to be able to enjoy what you like in moderation and develop some sort of self control....

    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!

    Peanut butter, in moderation, is an excellent source of protein and healthy fat. But only in moderation, like 1 serving (2 Tbl spoon) a day. Too bad it's s weakness for you.

    Really banned from our cabinets, not our whole home, except the ice cream because we all share the two refrigerators here:

    for me, it is chocolate- if I want chocolate, I go buy one single serving bar at a time because I know I binge on chocolate

    regular fried potato chips of any kind, same thing, cannot stop at one serving

    ice cream, same reason.... but healthy yogurt is totally allowed and we eat lots of it

    white fudge chips ahoy-- I cannot resist them, I eat the whole package in a day

    extras of anything sweet- if we have flan, cupcakes, any other sweet dessert that is way high in calories then I make just enough for everyone to have one serving, no extras are kept (this is crucial because I own a custom cake bakery and I used to always have lots of cupcakes and frosting around here)

    eta: I think some of these will change over time and be allowed back in the house, just not right now because I need more time to overhaul my thinking and my self-control. Anyone in my house that wants those things can buy them and keep them somewhere out of my sight, but they are not allowed in our regular cabinets, etc. where I have to get my food on a daily basis.

    My loved ones are happy to do this & a lot, lot more for me. Maybe it is a burden, but I also take on their burdens to help them. Asking them to not buy a *FEW* specific things to help me stay on track is not a big deal to them.

    Nutella. It starts with a loaf of bread and a jar of Nutella. This equals heartburn for the next week cause I ate the whole loaf of bread and jar of Nutella. LOL

    I wish I could keep the too tempting foods out of my reach. But what's at home is the least of my worries. Unfortunately, I am a chef and work with all the tastiest, high calorie foods you could imagine, all day long, every day. And what's even worse, having to throw out the leftovers of those foods. Today was High Tea and trying throw out instead of eat the macarons, chocolate tartlets, passionfruit cupcakes, fresh scones with cream, pastries, etc etc, total torture. Not to mention, total fail. I often wonder if I could ever reach my goal without quitting my job :brokenheart:

    Ermagod, I know exactly how you feel. I work at Max Brenner and am constantly surrounded by chocolate! And marshmallows! And chocolate fondue! And banana bread! It was hard at first but not so much now cause I don't find the foods as interesting haha. And I only work part time so I've got the rest of the week to make up for eating a whole cacophony of treats at work.

    I don't have anything banned specifically but I would have difficulty moderating:

    * Nutella
    * Peanut Butter

    Basically anything that the serving size is 1TBSP and delicious lol

    I don't ban anything.

    Potato chips were my greatest junk food love. I have a large bag of my favourite flavour in the pantry that I opened 6 weeks ago. I ate a 30 gram serving when I opened them and haven't been back to it since. I want to rule my food, not have my food rule me.

    But, we did pack away the deep fryer. :wink:

    Hmmmm.... let's see....

    1. Oreo's for me too. If I eat one, I'm cashing out the entire bag. It's inevitable, so I just don't even bring them into the house. No, I can't eat them "in moderation". I admit it.... I'm a total loser when it comes to "everything in moderation.... blah,blah, blah".
    2. Soda. I love Coke and Mountain Dew so I just have to stay away
    3. Chips. I'm not big on chips, but my husband likes them and when he starts snacking, I start snacking and then I'm eating half the bag. So we both choose to say it's a no-no.
    4. Cakes, cookies, baked goods, etc. Same as the chips.....
    5. Ice Cream. I've started buying frozen berries and pretending it's ice cream because I think i just like cold things sometimes. I love eating frozen berries!!! i think i'll go have some right now!

    :tongue: My self control goes right out the window with these things.:sad: Best left on the shelf at the store!

    Anything I "plan to" eat over more than 2 days, I don't buy. A "week" of groceries is always gone in 1-2 days so I only buy 1-2 days at a time now. It helps that I live in a school-furnished apartment and my fridge comes up to my knees and doesn't have a freezer.

    I don't buy sweets. That's it.

    The only sweet around is the beau's ice cream for when he's here, but I'm lactose intolerant so I don't touch it.

    Everything else I can eat in moderation.

    It helps that I log in every day too.

    Pepsi is my biggest weakness(I actually still have a 24 pack in my house and I have drank maybe 5 in the last month or so. So I'm doing really good on that)
    sweets(Any kind)
    Pasta
    Chips
    fried anything
    But I don't ban this stuff from my house. I have learned moderation since I have been on mfp and now I can have whatever my heart desires in small quantities and I'm more active.
