    Mine would be pasta, pizza, & chocolate. However, I don't totally avoid them. If I'm craving it, I just eat it as long as it's in my calorie goal. I try not to have them often though because they are high calorie foods which allows me less for the day. But yeah, those are my guilty pleasures :)

    Pizza, potato crisps and wine. I still have pizza but have swopped my toppings to veg only. Its a Saturday night treat in our house and I make it myself so that I can regulate the amount of cheese. I buy only diet/low fat crisps and they are only allowed as a treat.Finally wine has been banned. But I do allow myself the occasional vermouth and soda. Much fewer calories.

    Cookies, ice cream and pizza! I struggle with it everyday because come evening time I crave sweets....I am training myself self control because I have one cookie and I need to have 10. I just try not to have those items in the house. If I'm out and am offered something sweet I make sure to have a small portion to avoid over eating.

    Mine are definitely:

    1. Chips
    2. Ice Cream
    3. Sodas

    I'm convinced I'd be super fit if they didn't exist!!

    Mmmm. Cheese. Pizza. Pasta. Beer. Wine.

    I used to be huge into sweets when I got pregnant, but eating a Snickers bar every day for 5-6 months cures you of that.

    Those are the reasons I'm here, anyway.

    Moldy food

    Pizza- I will sit there and eat 4 slices if I'm left alone.
    Any sweet baked goods- cookies, cake, and pie.
    Chinese Food- The bad take-out kind. Chow mein and orange chicken.

    It feels good to get those danger foods out in the open. :p

    I can over-eat pretty much any food.. So, my lack of self control would be my issue.

    Cheese! Fresh baked bread and mashed potatoes are a close 2 and 3.

    I try to fit them into my daily goal by planning to let myself have them and logging accordingly. I also started buying my "danger foods" in smaller quantities. I am not to be trusted with large quantities of cheese and bread!

    Mayo I've left out overnight.
    Medium rare chicken
    Ice cream pints that need to be finished.

    1. Little Debbies: I finally ate just one yesterday, instead of the entire box. Pretty proud of myself.

    2. Potato chips: I have finally found a way to eat them in moderation. The sea salt and black pepper kettle chips are delicious. The pepper on them is so strong that one serving is all I need to feel satisfied.

    Right now all foods,.. Except the healthy stuff I'm supposed to be eating, somehow I don't seem to have a problem avoiding that.

    Legit.


    But seriously, all food is food. I treat all food the same, as in nothing is bad, and if I want something I fit it in.

    Moderation.

    I wouldn't call them dangerous but I am more likely to overeat something like crackers, cheese, or chips. I don't avoid eating them.
    I log my day in advance so I know what will fit my calorie goal for the day. I measure my planned portion out and put it on a small plate or bowl. I put the package away and leave the kitchen. I drink water whenever I eat so for every bite I am taking a drink or 2 of water.

    Potato chips with Top the Tater dip, nachos with cheese, chocolate, ice cream, crackers, freshly baked homemade bread with butter, cookies, muffins, donuts, cheesecake, brownies. Moderation can be difficult, but I am still attempting occasional moderation as I do not want to give up these foods for a lifetime. Too many calories to fit most of the time.

    I agree with some of the people on here - no foods are "dangerous", but there are some foods that are dangerous for us to be around personally. Even if I allot a small amount into my daily calorie goal, I WANT THEM ALL and cannot be trusted.

    Cookies/pretty much any soft baked goods
    Beer
    Pizza

    Lay's Sour Cream and Onion potato chips
    Cheetos Naturals

    Those are the only foods I purposely avoid because I always have self control issues around them. But there are so many foods I love enough to do some serious damage to my weight loss plan.

    I only eat pizza on special occasions- mostly because I won't get it if I go out- but I order it at home.
    - And I eat ALL of it. So special occasions.


    Can I not eat all of it ? sure- but I won't- so I just don't bother with it unless I've banked the extra calories for it.

    Chips and salsa are another one- I didn't typically moderate myself on that. Can- I just won't. So I don't buy them typically.

    But normally I'll moderate everything else.

    cheese, chocolate, cookies, pizza, ice cream

    at least they used to be 'danger foods' but I have made space for them in my calories so many times that I really can take them or leave them now. Sometimes when I'm planning my day I have enough calories for one of them, and to be honest I just don't even feel like having any of them. I never thought that I would be able to say that and it is only quite recent but its true !

    I used to think of them as 'bad', try to avoid them and as a result crave them all the time. I now have them more often than I used too. So often, in fact that they are no longer 'danger' foods. try it !!! it really works.

    My danger foods are any form of sweets. But I still eat them. The only precaution I take (and to me this is a form of self control) is to keep them out of the house. I buy myself a little single serving of whatever I'd like everyday before I go home. :)

    Cheese, salty snacks, WINE! As far as how to avoid? Daily struggle. Some days I do, some days I don't. I just try to make the "avoid" days more often :wink:

    cookies
    crackers (certain types)
    ice cream bar or novelty

    things that are easy to grab and eat are dangerous for me so i usually don't buy them or buy in small quantities.
