    "snacking after work, before dinner"

    and after dinner. It wasn't uncommon for me to grab a snickers bar for my commute home, getting a slice a pizza before arriving home, having dinner, and then snacking (chips, pretzels, cookies, etc) throughout the evening. So I guess my blank would be "mindless eating".

    The only thing I cannot exercise portion control and moderation with (yet) is Triscuit (any variety). I won't trust myself to have them in the house for a while, then eventually I'll have to tackle that windmill :smile:

    any quick snack cakes/protein bars/fiber one bars-- I could seriously eat the whole box-- or at least more than I'm supposed to. Over eat fiber bars and it could get scary.

    That excludes Quest bars... but not because I don't want to eat them all, but because they are so darn expensive.

    Instead I've been eating Orvilles Smart Pop popcorn-- the entire bag is 130 calories and I feel like I'm eating popcorn for a straight hour! Then I finish it off with a bite of dark chocolate.

    If I manage to avoid labeling any foods as good or bad, off limits or on limits, poison or not poison, then I can stay on track with my eating.

    COKE.
    Chocolate. Right now I currently do not have the ability to not binge on chocolate.

    Peanut butter. But I just bought some today, weighed it for my snack, and am giving myself a moderation challenge this week!

    If I manage to avoid injury and depression, and can continue to exercise 5-6 times a week, I'm golden. Eating right isn't a problem. Getting used to the kind of calories I can eat when I exercise, then being unable to even walk without pain... that puts a bit of a crimp in things.

    Large portions in general.

    Put a 6 pack in my fridge and order a whole pizza to my house and you might sabotage me.

    ...I'm participating in a biggest loser challenge at work...

    It would be so sneaky if someone did that! Hahaha

    Restrictions. If I make a lot of restrictions on what foods I can or can't have, I inevitably cave in. My brain registers that as a failure and being all or nothing I just give up for the day (or week) and that hinders my weight loss.

    I'm the exact same. I had to stop buying Clif peanut butter crunch protein bars. I absolutely love them and can eat the entire box in one sitting.

    Sweets of any kind with added sugar...ice cream, cake, cookies, etc. And bread, pizza, pasta. Basically...most carbs other than fruits and veggies. If I eat a little, I get massive cravings for more. The only thing that works consistently for me is to never have them at home.

    If I want them, I have them when I'm out...at a restaurant or at a social event. Then it is easy to control and eat a small amount and be satisfied. I have these things as an occasional treat, not as a regular part of my daily diet.
