What foods can you not stop eating. Mine are corn chips and Salsa or guacamole; Humus; Olives; Chick Peas; Broad beans with tomato sauce from trader joes; sometimes cheese and salt and vinegar kettle chips. Actually I'm ok on chips if I make them in little portions but I can scarf a ton down. But Humus..especially olive..don't tempt me!!

    Nutella. NOt only do I have a lot of trouble stopping once I start eating it, but it triggers cravings for other sweets as well. Its pure evil.

    the only thing I really have a problem with is certain types of caramel/chocolates. As a result, I can't have it in the house. I can live with chocolate chips, Atkins or Clif bars, etc... I like those and they satisfy my chocolate-caramel cravings, but I'm not tempted to snarf 'em. I live in a town with a chocolate factory that makes amazing English toffee and assorted chocolates and I do not purchase their wares. If I had a box of assorted nut chews/caramels and no one to share it with I could probably eat 1 lb in a day or two. Seriously.

    It's kind of funny though because with anything else I have no trouble sticking to a counted-out or measured portion.

    Potato chips are the main one, but pretty much any starchy, carb-laden snack will do it. I'm slowly learning to take a portion and put the rest away, but if I don't do that, I'll keep eating until it's gone without even noticing.

    Cheese.

    I can't stop at 30g of a really stinky gooey piece of cheese, especially with crusty bread.

    I like crisps and chocolate, but they're easy to buy in 1 serving sizes.

    I don't have much discipline with wine either, I know you can get those little bottles, but there isn't a great variety and they look so sad.

    SO odd, I know, but flaming hot Cheetos. I crave them every single day. I used to sit down and eat almost an entire bag at a time, now, limiting myself to 20 pieces a couple of times a week is absolute torture.

    Pizza. It sounds like a joke but I eat it once or twice a week & it's 4 or 5 slices, depending on the time of day, maybe more. I just love it & have little self control when I order some. It's sick. Ugh! I hope someday to not be such an out of control fatty about it.

    String cheese. If I buy a pack, it's gone. I have to not buy it unless I have factored the whole 12 sticks into my day. It's a sickness, I tell ya!!

    Anything dessert. I can pass on salty stuff without a problem, but put some cake or cookies in front of me and prepare to be disgusted lol

    I keep them in my house against my better judgement. I hope the day never comes when I eat an entire bag at once again. ):

    Trader Joe's Baked Onion Rings - they are kinda like Funyuns only way better! Even though the bag says baked, there is nothing healthy about these little crunchy rings. I can eat a whole bag in one sitting without even thinking about it.
