    Cake/cookies/pastries/similar grain-based sweets (as opposed to hard candy-type or ice cream or other sweets.)

    Communal eating. I have to avoid family dinners, eating with co-workers, restaurants with friends, etc. etc. Unfortunately I have to make my plan and eat by myself to stick to it. I have a really hard time both with watching other people eat what I wish I could and also hearing unhelpful "suggestions" from people about what I "should" be doing.

    Chips and dip, and more chips and dip!

    Also regular coke (with sugar). Diet is just not the same... But I do drink diet as I do not like to drink them calories! LOL

    "Excess Calories" is the right answer in all situations, for all people.

    Please don't speak for me.

    (Back again, because I needed time to think what to write.) I was watching a show today and some famous comedian who had lost a lot of weight and was now running marathons said "Animals don't eat sugar" and he is right. Show me where in nature, animals eat sugar and I don't mean fruit.

    Lollies are what I have to avoid. I cannot eat one or two out of a packet - I have to eat the lot.

    And totally off the subject - on the same show was the cast from "Lost in Space." Will Robertson, Penny, no Dr. Smith or the dad who have both died but all the rest were there.

    Back to subject - I love the weed and booze response as it is probably very true. :)

    Honey. Lots of critters eat it.

    Sugar cane. Eaten by some insects and elephants in the wild.

    If you're asking about pure sugar, then some of the wild animals that raid human garbage will eat it. Coyotes, racoons, rats, mice, off of the top of my head.

    If you mean with zero human influence factored in and natural sources of sugar don't count because it's not 'pure', it's a meaningless statement. No sugar refineries in the wild.

    I don't have this issue now, but when I was first getting started I had to pretty much eliminate dairy from my diet...more specifically, milk and cheese. On average I drank about 1/2 gallon of milk per day and ate a good 1/4 - 1/2 Lb of cheese pretty much every day...once I would get going on those things, there wasn't much stopping me.

    I think I went a good 3 months or so without having either and can now enjoy both in moderation without issue.

    If I manage to avoid going over my calorie count, I can stay on track with eating.

    I'm not going to give up anything, just cut back, but if I had to choose it would be Dairy Queen - curse those caramel sundaes and pineapple milkshakes!

    If I avoid letting my rebellious nature take over I can stay on track. I am working on making that stubborn, rebellious side work for me rather than against.

    But I do have certain 'trigger foods' that almost always cause a binge unless I just say no entirely. Chips, baked goods (especially my own) and sour candies. One taste, one bite, one serving, one bag, it just never seems to be enough.

    So, for me, it is much easier just to stay away from those altogether rather than trying to cage the beast after I've let it free lol

    I love all potatoes...Chips are public enemy # 1 for me, but if it has "potato" in it, beam me up. 99% of the time I skip fries as well if I am out. If I am out for breakfast which is once in a while and they have the shredded hashbrowns, I am getting them, lol.

    I have not quit potato chips. I tell myself I am on a potato chip break. Translation, not allowed to buy the PARTY SIZE bag of Lays because I will eat the entire bag day in less than a day.

    Oh my god I just spit coffee everywhere! You made me waste coffee dangit!

    For me it's feeling lonely, frustrated, useless, or like I've disappointed people. I am a comfort scoffer. The amount of ice cream/chocolate/cake I can put away when I'm upset never fails to astound me.

    Pizza, alcohol, and fast food. Those usually though me completely off track.

    Zebra Cakes and chips with dip. Those things will set me off completely. Fortunately those are fairly easy to avoid!
