Trigger Foods-Once you start you cant stop

LOL. This thread is making my mouth water. My trigger food is anything potato. I LOVE potato salad!0

Peanut Butter, Reese's Chocolate Peanut Butter Spread. I've been going through major self-control issues with food recently, and these (especially the Reese's) were both hard to turn away. Although I did very well last night, just portioned out some of the Reese's for dessert, and didn't go back for more. But even now, while I'm at work, I'm wishing I had the jar, a spoon, and a 3000 calorie deficit to fill.

I wouldn't call them trigger foods but grapes and any sort of cakes lol.0

I believe in everything in moderation but there are some foods that I just don't go near or buy at all anymore because no matter what I always end up eating way more than I meant to.
1. orange juice-I looove it despite the fact I'm allergic to it
2. subway sandwich "footlong"- I always tell myself Ill save the other half for later and never do
3. egg nog- my own personal holiday enemy
4. take home pizzas like digornios or tombstone-Just one slice, yeah right
And every time I'm at the grocery store I have to do that battle with myself, no don't buy it, who cares that its on sale, you're not going to eat just a little bit, don't even stand here and lie to yourself.
So I was just interested in knowing other people's trigger foods
Can't? None.
Choose not to? There can be several, depending to my level of future thinking in the particular moment.
I don't like to mix my "can'ts" and my "I don't wannas"

Ice cream for me, for sure. Also salty stuff like chips or Smartfood popcorn. And carbs. And Oreos.0
-
Beer, twinkies, fruity pebbles.0

It used to be chocolate, but I don't eat too many sweets anymore, THANK GOD! Now, it's pita chips and hummus, which in theory is healthy for you...IN MODERATION! Yeah, I'm not sure what that is.
Also, wine. I know we're talking about food, but I love a glass of wine with dinner every night. And usually a second glass about an hour and a half before I go to bed.0 -
Cookies are a huge problem for me and when I'm on my period whatever I eat becomes a binge. Last night I told myself I could have 2 oreos and I ate the whole sleeve. Best for me to keep the goodies out of my cabinets0

Chocolate - I'm still having issues from halloween0

Chilli doritos. Used to have a large bag with a couple glasses of wine at weekends
Now cut out the wine and measure out the doritos and stick to 30-50g max.0 -

Yep. Same. Except I don't discriminate with the dips; queso and guacamole are just fine as well. There's this thing called the Dip Sampler at Don Pablo's (which I think is a national chain); they give you bean dip, white cheese, queso, and guacamole, along with soft tortillas and the chips and salsa that come free. I could eat the entire thing no problem and then move on to my enchiladas.
Come to think of it, I could probably clean out an entire Mexican restaurant by myself, no trouble.0 -

This. Probably everything named in this thread are "I don't wanna stop" foods for me too.. except grapes, lol.
I still eat Twinkies. I want 2, 3, 4, the whole box. I eat one. I'd rather have one 135 calorie Twinkie than no Twinkies at all.

Amen and what she said. No stopping me at a Mexican restaurant. That's why I stay away for NOW.0 -

Not once did I say "I can't or I don't'" Its just a fun little thread to get some frustration out. Talk to me once you lose 115lbs, eat 1200 calories a day, and work out for an hour every day. Then we can talk about can'ts and don't want tos

Anything that comes in several portions, except cereals. I can't do moderation - if it's inthe cupboard, I'm eating it all. Luckily I find it easy to buy the right things when shopping, and only have junk on occasion.0
