    Aged cheeses, especially blue cheese with a nice French bread, and wine.

    How much time have you got?

    I don't think they'd let me post a post that big...

    Ice Cream. I could easily eat a pint a night.

    It's why I no longer allow myself to indulge, as it's a trigger food for me. I'd rather have a single cookie, or something I can better resist having more of.

    Bread. I LOVE my recipe for homemade bread. I used to make two loaves every three-four days and my boyfriend and I would just destroy it with some butter or margin. I make it less now but I still find myself craving it constantly. But, I have noticed the past few times that I made it, it didn't taste as good. SO I do think it's more of your brain wanting something it knows it shouldn't have han your body actually needing it.

    How do you combat the desire to partake of food addictions???

    I don't really have food addictions, but I do have a hard time stopping when eating many types of chips, especially Natural Cheetos. Or Fritos or potato chips with onion dip.

    I deal with it by rarely having these things available. I just don't have them in the house.

    Bread is my weakness. I like cornbread, loaf bread, homemade breads, grind my own wheat berries bread, English muffins, crusty breads, soft breads, polenta, I must add Honeybuns with white icing (I do not buy them and bring them home), and homemade chocolate chip cookies.

    I taught my youngest daughter to make chocolate chip cookies. I do not enter the kitchen when she is baking them. I wait until she brings me my portion, and have her divide all the cookies into portions for the rest of the family. They take their portions to their private place wherever that might be...I don't want to know!

    I'm gonna be all semantic here, and say what do you mean by greatest food addiction? (1) The thing I can't resist if it's in front of me? (2) The thing I can eat and never stop eating until everyone around me is staring horrified? (3) The thing that I still eat, but eat a restricted amount of it because I know it's not necessarily what I need to meet my nutrition/calorie/macro?

    Here's my answers
    (1) homemade chocolate chip cookies
    (2) popcorn
    (3) cheese

    Peanut butter and jelly on whole wheat bread. Maybe cause this was my afterschool snack growing up, but it is the one food combination that I could eat till I got sick!

    My solution: I don't buy peanut butter or jelly.

    Bread. If I have to choose between a box of chocolates and a crusty, golden-brown loaf of rosemary bread, I'll always choose the latter. Only I can't stop at one slice.

    For me Dr. Pepper and Blue Bell ice cream They trigger binges or days of being off track for me. The Dr. P thing I figured out a long time ago because of the high fructose corn syrup. Had an issue recently with the Blue Bell and looked and it had it too. Must be something that triggers a chemical swing in me. I stay away from the Dr. Pepper and then I don't crave it. The Blue Bell my family brings in the house all the time.

    Candies, any kind but particularly ... sweettarts candies (which i have in front of me as I type right now).

    This is my kryptonite too. It's not that I sit around and think "I sure could go for some Sweetarts" and then go on a mission to buy some, but once I have some, there's a switch that goes off that says "more more more". A lot of the reverse bro scientists say "you shouldn't cut out any foods you enjoy, just enjoy them in moderation" well they don't know what it's like when an almost reflexive need for more kicks in. I can portion control anything else, ice cream, pizza, cookies, but those simple candies, Sweetarts and Tootsie Rolls I'm going to have to never buy in bulk again.

    Over the past month I've been digging into my stash of Halloween, Easter and Valentine's sale candy and I'm glad it's almost depleted.

    I have a few enemies in the food world.. Dr.Pepper( I used to drink nothing but this all day everyday! VERY strong addiction), Any type of carb really (pasta,bread, potatoes), candy (fruity flavored of course!!) and the devil it self CARAMEL. I could drink caramel, I no longer allow myself the struggle so I dont buy Dr.Pepper or caramel anymore. EVER. I drink nothing but water now and its been 6 months. I still crave DP from time to time but its tolerable. Caramel however, I try and fight the urge and most of the time I win. However there are a few times where I will give in and make myself happy for like 3 mins and then depressed because I consumed my full days worth of calories in one sitting. I guess it just depends on how badly I want that particular thing. As of right now I WANT to lose weight, more than anything else . So that definitely helps. Having a bad day once in a while is normal, I just try not to make bad habits of them again. But to me moderation is really hard to achieve when you crave/want these things so badly to begin with.

    I am right there with the other cheese addicts. I read somewhere that cheese addiction is a real addiction and I believe it.

    My second addiction (but cheese is way ahead of this on the addiction scale) is bacon.
