-
lemon pepper wings from wing stop (ugh )
pizza topped with mushrooms, sausage & bell peppers
{ i'm not tempted by any other pizza so i'm good with that. }
chocolates. which was a problem for me this valentines day.
sour punch straws, strawberry flavored.
sour patch kids: berries.
green monster energy drink.
potato wedges covered in cheese & bacon.
ugh
i avoid ALL of them, because i am still learning portion control. but once i know how to control myself better, i'm hoping i'll be able to eat those foods from time to time.0 -
McDonalds. I love it. It is my go-to fast food. I ate it about twice a month before this. Now I just can't even go. I even show up with my low calorie choices written down on a note, but the second I walk in I order my 1000 calorie usual lol. Now I reserve it only for special occasions or days I worked out a lot lol.0

Crisps. I just prefer not to have them around the house.0

Nope, Cereal is not a strange food to binge on! I do it ALL the time........I am addicted to them!
Especially
Crunchy Nut
Granola
Shreddies
Fruit & Nut
Cheerios ETC
All full of sugar and naughty ; )

And Pop Chips - but I get them in portion control single serves and can stop at just one!0 -
Pastries (muffins, cookies, scones, etc...),
& chocolate,
& ice cream0 -

To fit the British stereotype completely.. It has to be biscuits and tea for me. Nothing as comforting as a milky cup of tea and biscuits to dunk in!
I do not buy biscuits as I will eat the whole packet. Especially maryland cookies or chocolate digestives etc.. SO good.
I also find it hard to resist any bread that is given with main courses or before starters at restaurants etc...
These are also pretty tempting:
Cake
Chocolate
Salted nuts
ICE CREAM. Forgot this one. This is majorly hard to only have a small bowl of. Ben and Jerrys you are pure evil.

Starbucks Venti Caramel Frappuccino ! Yum...Cannot even drive toward a Starbucks !0

Homemade pizza. I always intend to eat only one serving and end up eating at least 2 (but oh so good)!!0
-
Krispy Kremes and double IPA's0

I try not to let any food derail my eating. I enjoy everything in moderation and budget for those foods. If there is one vice, I'd have to say dark chocolate.0

It used to be potato chips, or anything in the chip family---Fritos, Doritos etc. it seems as if I've gotten a handle on portioning even these however. We had a large bag of Lays chips and it was hanging around for almost a week. I actually put them on my food scale and weighed two servings at a time.
Normally that bag wouldn't have lasted the night, salty and crunchy, love it. Add creamy. like some onion dip and holy moses diet derailed!!0 -
Good cheese. I can portion out a reasonable amount of a decent but not extraordinary cheese, like a sharp cheddar from the grocery store or American "Parmesan", but get me near the really high-end artisanal stuff and I'm a goner. Luckily that's a self-regulating problem since artisanal cheese is so expensive it would be a special-occasion treat even if I wasn't trying to lose weight.
Homemade cookies are dangerous too, because each one is so small my brain refuses to accept they're as full of calories as they are.0 -
Pretty much any carbs: pasta THE WORST FOR ME bread, noodles, potatoes.. And cake OH DEAR GOD I OOVE CAKE.. Chocolate not as bad but I still love it..
I eat carbs in some form (usually pasta or bread) pretty much every day but I make sure I fit it into my calorie goals and if I go over I know I have to work it off :-)0 -
CHIPS and SALSA - not so bad if you can quit after a few. Oh, those never ending baskets at Mexican restaurants!0
-
Bread for me. I like any kind of bread, but my favourite is soft fresh white bread with cold hard butter - in about equal quantities!
I had multiple bilateral pulmonary embolisms (blood clots in both lungs) and the haematologist I saw on January 31, 2014, told me to lose weight if I wanted to prevent any more. So that's why I'm here, and that's why I have whole-grain low-sodium bread in the house. And some unsalted Matzos for when I'm totally desperate!0 -
Good for you Lennonluv, having the chips there and not eating them! I stopped using salt last December and I'm just astonished that I can now eat eggs just plain, fried or poached or scrambled, when before I used to eat them crunchy with salt. I'm hoping to learn that same thing about quantity of food. Good luck to you!0
