I was thinking this weekend about how hard it is for me to give up chips...I love them, the saltiness, the crunch, ahh...great now I'm drooling. Anyway, it got me wondering what specific foods other people have a hard time giving up.

I thought we could each list 2 things that we're trying really hard to give up and then send a friend request to someone that we don't know who is having the same struggle and use them to give & get encouragement!

I already mentioned my love for chips and the other would have to be cupcakes, LOVE them!

    Peanut butter hands down for me. I'm fighting the urge to make 4 peanut butter sandwiches as I type this. I mean, who even thinks about eating that many sandwiches at once?

    My temptation is really good cheese and wine. My favorite is Roaring 40s blue cheese and this sick tripled creamed cheese in the Whole Foods Deli. Its like butter. I would be happy having cheese for dinner every night. Its been weeks since Ive had cheese...tears...Also, margaritas. I love a good not to sweet margarita.

    Well, I have three: soft chocolate chip cookies, bacon, and wine. I can't walk away. I'm completely taken by these things. All three in the same meal is heaven!!!!!

    My favorite snack is Slim Jims. I love the saltiness of them, but the saturated fat is terrible!

    My favorite sweet snack is brownies. I could down a whole pan of them. I miss them so much!!!!

    My two favorite things right now are Allsups beef and bean burritos and cheese! Not any kind of cheese though...I buy..used to buy cheese in the 1 lb blocks of Pepper Jack, Montery Jack, Mozzarella, Colby Jack, Swiss, etc. and just cut slices off and eat it like that. I just LOVE it!!!

    Chips is my weakness/temptation too! I don't really have a second.. I mean, I want something sweet but not always the same thing. Chips are definitely number 1 because I want the crunchy, salty, goodness that they contain!

    I find myself wanting chips though when I drink pop. Diet pop.. and I know how bad pop is for you, regular or diet. But with the salty crunch I want the fuzzy carbonated crap that diet pop contains.

    Mine is Orville Reddenbacher's Natural Simply Salted popcorn. I just can't give it up and I'm not settling for the 100 calorie-cardboard-dry tasting kind.

    LOL I'm with you on this. The quantity is also something I'm with you on. Chocolate gets me too sometimes Ill go months at a time without a craving than it hits me like a wall ...constant cravings. I also occasionally deal with just this craving to gorge myself. I haven't eaten at a Fast food burger joint since I started in January but sometimes Ill drive by a McDonalds or Burger King and Ill just get this urge to stop and eat like 2 or 3 big macs or whoppers. I never give in and strangely I never did that before I started so I don't really understand it but the urge is to go and eat as many sandwiches as I can till I'm full. I hope that eventually goes away. I hate the thought of it disgusts me and I ask myself out load sometimes why?

    Just two? Are you nuts!! J/K :tongue:

    I'd say NUTTY BARS for sure. I haven't had any for months now.

    And Cheetos. That is my bar snack! But when I am out, I take a plastic baggy of pumpkin seeds, almonds or something instead of bar chips :happy: I slipped on Saturday, I'll admit :blushing:

    I am sure I would be thin already if it weren't for chips and cheese. Seriously I never met a cheese that I didn't like.

    right now my temptation is dill pickle chips, not actual pickles but the chips that are dill pickle flavored and cake of any sort. They recently put dill pickle chips in the vending machine at work and I just can't hold myself back from them.

    Diet Coke. It is the only soda I drink. However, I have about 15 cans left that I hope to finish by December and be done with forever.
