    When I was born my mom couldn't nurse me and there wasn't formula, so the Dr. had my mom use Evaperated Milk and Karo Corn Syrup as a formula for me. I think that pretty much explains alot. Anything with corn syrup, candy bars, frosting, sodas, cake, pies. Just to mention a few - then there is potato chips. All the mentioned are major Trigger foods for me so I can't have any of them because it will cause binge eating.

    Nuts, lots of them....sometimes about 8 servings.
    Chocolate....love it, and lately I have been binging on Fiber One Cinammon-Brown sugar "pop tarts"

    I try and eat my temptations (except for one!)

    I love fried mozzerella sticks...so I have (fully loaded) Precious Colby Jack cheese sticks - 8 grams of fat and 90 cals, but combined with some canadian bacon is a nummy lunch!

    I love sweets...so 100 Cal Packs, especially at night when my willpower is down.

    Cookies, so if I hike for a long time (generally our Saturday hike is several hours) I will eat a Clif Bar White Chocolate with Macademia nuts bar (white chocolate, macademia nuts, and oatmeal - heavan!)

    Bread....so I'll have a tortilla for dinner with brown rice, ground turkey, and greek yogurt.

    The only temptation I don't indulge in regularly is crab rangoons. By far my favorite food in the whole world, but impossible for them to be anything but crazy in fat! So I don't eat them...although for my birthday dinner I'm going to a Chinese buffet and pigging out....I may gain a couple pounds, but its once a year and knowing that I'm getting it on that day makes it so I don't need it today!

    Have you considered making them yourself? Could you use spring roll paper and low fat cream cheese with crab and bake them or what about puff pastry? There is ALWAYS another option hehe I like them too!! ;)

    I tried making them once before and they didn't taste real great.

    Honestly, I have zero self control when it comes to crag rangoons. It is easier for me to abstain than it is for me to try and make a healthy batch...cause that batch will last one night....

    But, I like your idea! I think after I've been practicing good portion control and balance for a few more months I will try what you suggest, especially with the baking!

    Donuts are my kryptonite. I can turn down or walk away from cake, cookies, ice cream, pastries and any kind of savory food, no matter how much I may want it. But I have yet to be able to pass up a chance to eat a donut if the opportunity presented. Thankfully, it's been a very rare temptation. lol

    Oh God, ice cream for sure. Not just cheap stuff, but the luxury stuff that is a million calories and pretty much just cream!! Pair that with a brownie (with nuts!) and I'm in heaven.

    Prob have that about once a year now though :-(

    I also love nuts - which are ok - except I like them salted (cashews) or caramel/ choc coated (any)!!! Bummer.

    I also LOVE things like pecan pie and sticky date but I can't actually eat them now without serious heart burn etc after - makes it a lot easier to turn down.

    My main weakness is wine! And living here in South Australia, wine is cheaper than water, lol. And once the wine starts, the nibbles start....and go on and on and on and on!!

    I am with you on the potato chip thing. A bag of plain potato chips is a meal for me. Cannot have them in the house. Have absolutely no self control. BTW- love your qoute by Jefferson.

    What a fun topic - all the responses are great! My greatest weakness is chocolate - pretty much any kind of chocolate. Oreo cookies are a big one so I don't ever buy those for the house cuz I want to eat them all right away. I love the potato chips and pasta is a definite weakness but chocolate is the one thing I cannot seem to say no to. Mmmm - just thinking about it makes me want some! :wink:

    OMG I can't resist pizza or warm sugar cookies right out of the oven!!!!! I've always said whatever diet that DOESN'T make some kind of diet pizza I wasn't going to be able to diet! That's how much I love pizza! I don't even like toppings unless it's pepperoni but most of the time it's just cheese that I like....it's the crust that causes the problems :smile:

    We make our own crust... much better, or you can buy it at Trader Joe's. Also, Papa Murphy's Delite i NOT bad and is totally something you can squeeze into a day. Enjoy your treats now and then, everyone deserves it... especially pizza! ;)

    mmm food! I love chocolate-dark chocolate, milk chocolate, chocolate ice cream...It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's chocolate flavored pretty much. Chinese buffets (yum!), Chick-fil-a chicken sandwiches with waffle fries & chickfila sauce. I could seriously eat that everyday of my life and not get sick of it. Sushi- I love sushi-and if there is a sushi buffet anywhere near me, I get at least 3 plates of rolls & sashimi. mmm...now I want dark chocolate and tuna sashimi! haha!

    My stomach hates it too, but I still just can't help it. If I know I'm going to the movies, I save up all my calories all day, so I can eat it and I work out a TON that day haha. I am just sooooooo addicted to it.

    fillet steak with prawns in a cream peppercorn sauce... my partner makes it for me most weekends --- i LOVE IT. Or Curry with rice, naan bread, onion bhaji...Which is what i having tonight!

    Not really a chocolate person or icecream dont really like cake either. rarely eat crisps (chips).

    my weakness is alcohol --- give me a cold beer/cider, nice glass of red wine or champagne (my favorite) or a couple of large vodka's or brandy's with cola (i do now have the diet version)
