    I don't avoid "danger" foods. I just don't make them easily available. And when I can't live without them, I eat them. I just try and keep moderation in mind, but sometimes that fails, but it's okay, because it's rare I eat them, so it doesn't really affect me at all, other than satisfying my craving.

    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 completely understand! We have the exact same danger foods!

    I would also like to add muffins. Doesn't matter what kind. I could eat a bakers dozen of muffins without batting an eye.

    Chocolate
    Alcohol (Mojitos, Peach Bellinis, Flavoured Vodka and Red Wine are all I drink)
    French. Fries.

    I don't drink much, alcohol is expensive ;) Fries, if I make them at home in the oven, are surprisingly good. It's the chocolate that's gonna kill me. For the most part, I've been avoiding it. I'll have my splurge days every so often, though.

    I've been turning to non-food sources as rewards. Bath products, art supplies. Frozen yogurt when I must have food. Spending time in the places I like to be most. Stuff like that.

    Burgers, french fries and soda. I hate that my office has ice cold Cokes sitting there right next to my packed lunch. So far I've been able to avoid them, but gracious, they sound so good at 2 p.m. when i'm tired.

    Candy
    Any baked sweets (especially cake)
    Ice cream
    Chips
    Diet Soda (not an immediate problem, but I'll cut it out eventually.)
    Swiss Cake Rolls...
    Cheese used to be a problem, but I'm getting better about that
    Bread...

    Sweets are a definite problem. I live with my family, so I can't keep them out of the house completely. Luckily, my Dad is also on a diet, so all of the bad things are kept locked away from us. Maybe eventually we'll get Mom to join us and then keeping everything out of the house will be much easier.

    Whenever something isn't locked away, I'll allow myself some if my calories allow it. I'm going to get some Swiss Cake Rolls later and I'm excited. ovo

    I call them my "red light" foods, because once I get started eating them I don't know when to stop. Candy (like licorice, jelly beans, m&m's)
    Crackers
    Cookies

    1. Pizza - dominos delivers in 20 minutes and the stuffed crust is too nice to leave out
    2. Crisps - walkers prawn cocktail and cheese onion to be exact
    3. Wine/alcohol - I dread to think of the calories consumed on a night out

    1. PIZZA!
    2. French fries
    3. Beer/wine

    I try to limit these things to when I am out of the house and have social accountability to not eat a whole pizza or/and a large fries. I do struggle with all of them though, so as much as you can't rule out anything forever, I am trying to cut back a lot right now. If I can't see them, I can't have them.

    I absolutely don't eat pasta. When I go a week or so without it the cravings go away. I don't really crave that or bread anymore. Mine are mint Oreos and tiramisu. I cannot buy these and eat them within my calorie goals. My husband is a truck driver so I eat some and send the rest with him on the road so it's not in the house anymore. Moderation is great if you can do it but I've tried keeping those in the house and eating a few cookies a day, doesn't work for me.

    Sweets
    Tater Chips
    Ice Cream

    Of course my mom and I have this Sunday thing where we go and get an ice cream. Seriously. Then I have to indulge.

    The tater chips...I've actually been avoiding them. Except last week. I had it bad last week. My mom and I ordered that new pizza from Little Caesar's and she bought a bag of Lays tater chips.

    The sweets. I only eat them when get my food box(every 2 months). I get my commodities around that time and of course I get some delightful sweets with it.

    Takeaway pizza, banoffee pie, and good beer.

    Even reading that sentence makes me hungry.

    I'm kinda with the other people who don't view foods as "danger" foods. I understand where you're coming from though. I can't trust myself to moderate oreos yet, so I don't buy them. Same thing with other kinds of baked goods. However, the first thought I had when reading the title of this thread was this:

    I label a food like that, and it becomes a problem. By declaring all food lovely and nutritious, I take away a food's power to dominate me.

    I don't believe in dangerous foods. I do, however, believe in dangerous quantities.

    I only have a couple, as I'm good about moderating everything else and can easily "bank" weekly calories for any other splurge/indulgence in a nice, but appropriate portion:


    The NEVER list:

    Ruffles w/ French onion dip ----never, ever, never, never can I have these in my home. I will eat an entire bag plus the entire container of dip (with a spoon if I run out of chips, lol). Any other chips/crisps and dip, eh, I can have one weighed portion and be satisfied, or pass on them as I wish.

    Fresh, hot Krispy Kreme donuts--it's a good thing there's no longer a shop in our town. Zero restraint for the hot off the line ones. Any other donut in the world, I can easily turn down, as I'm not a sweet tooth otherwise. But these, oh man, I wanna marry them and have their babies <3
