Peanut butter is evil. And addicting0

Nuts. Any kind. But especially cashews & pecans. Eat
Eat just a couple? Impossible! An ounce? No way.
Even before I was doing a ketogenic diet I could eat a half pound of nuts at a sitting and not bat an eyelash.
So.... since I have so much to go nuts are on my forbidden list and for me personally as scary as sugar. Perhaps when I'm down 100 lbs I might add in measured macadamia nuts since they are so high in fat.0 -
Peanut Butter. I cannot have it in my home. It is only a minor exaggeration to say that a single-serving size is whatever size container I would be foolish enough to buy and bring home.0

Try eating them raw without salt. They are still satisfying fats, but not as addictive as salted & roasted. I can restrict raw nuts without too much problem, but macs & cashews that are roasted & salted, I could eat pounds.

Mmm yes! As kids we used to sneak into the kitchen and grab huge massive spoonfulls of it. I could easily eat 1/2 of a container full right now but I have no desire to.0 -
For me it's fries, or poutine. Or chips. Or oil-popped popcorn with butter on top.
The thing that really does me in, though, is poor planning, forgetting to eat breakfast sometimes, things like that that leave me vulnerable to quick food when I finally realize I'm hungry.0 -
Macadamia nuts are my new kryptonite as I discovered yesterday when the bag was empty. The office was empty so I didn't feel watched and I went back to some very dark days of binging that I hadn't seen in a very long time. Oh and not keeping busy - that's a bad thing for me.
Also recently discovered that having too much fresh meat and veg in the house is bad as I worry it will go off and try to eat it all to avoid waste. I am not a dustbin!! But not good to have too little either as shopping while hungry isn't good too! Oh man life is hard!0 -
These are evil! I get the shakes when I walk into Wawa now that I've gotten back on the wagon.

Learned my Kryptonite last night. WATERMELON....OMG WATERMELON!! My daughter wanted me to cut her some and there it was...all juicy and yummy looking. I figured one slice will be okay....like 4 slices and 62 carbs later.
so mad at myself. 0 -
Yeah, watermelon and I have had long term love affairs in the past. If I REALLY want it, I'll try to get a piece or two while at a buffet. Otherwise I could have eaten the whole melon!0

Plain milk chocolate.
If you go Keto for a few months, the sweetness of milk chocolate will be overpowering. I once loved Miracle Whip and hated Hellmann's mayo. Now, I can't stand MW, its just too sweet. Even Hellman's tastes sweet now. I use it for a dipping sauce for my meat now.

Ditto that. Watermelon is a kryptonite for me. I don't buy it anymore, but if I am at someones house, I'll eat a cup of it and stop.
Pineapple is in the same boat....

That's why Lindt 90% is so awesome, 2x fat grams to carb grams... Keto chocolate, lol. And so much tastier than milk chocolate...

Oh wow, yes! This never occurred to me, very true for me too now that I think about it!
My biggest weakness is cheesy chips - Cheetos, Doritos, sour cream & cheddar Ruffles especially.0 -
Chocolate, Nuts and Brownie Brittle or Mrs. Thinster cookies!0

Corn chips at the Mexican Restaurant. If I had 1 I'd be a goner!0

Make microwave cheese crisps with popcorn seasoning. Better flavor, more filling, and just take long enough to make you won't binge because it's too much work!!! LOL0 -

They taste like paste and cardboard now. And the salsa mainly tastes like vinegar unless mixed with sour cream and/or cheese.
And I could take a bag of tortillas and a gallon of salsa before and just eat on it for a few days...0 -
Blue Diamond Wasabi and Soy Almonds. So delicious and so addicting. I made the mistake once of buying a one pound bag on my lunch break and at the end of the day half the bag was gone. A gas station by my work sells the snack size packets so I'll stop in there and buy that if I want them. Even if I tell myself I'll measure out one ounce, it's too easy to eat a few here, a few there.
Also boredom eating. I'm a lot better than I used to be. I have a strict rule of not eating past 8pm. Most of the time I cut myself off at 7pm when I've finished eating dinner. I just tell myself I can't eat anything until the morning. Plus I find I lose weight better with that short period of fasting.0 -

I love these too! I get the big bags but only bring 1.5oz to work for a snack. If I open the bag at home it can be trouble. Yummy!

Football season...
So easy to watch games all day Saturday and eat. Last year I did better. Need to do the same this year.
I love the bowl season too! And it is right around Christmas and New Years eating marathon too.
The Bermuda Triangle of eating0 -
Weirdly, I am losing my taste for wine. Either that or I've had about three bad types of wine in a row. It tastes more like straight alcohol and less like the dry wine flavor that I love.
But cheese, I don't think I will ever get over. It's too damn good and way too easy. Like you, any type of cheese. I'm pretty sure I could eat my way through a cheese wheel if one was available.
Cheese doesn't necessarily love me back, so I have to remind myself to impose limits.

I've taken to portioning it off when I bring it home, and sticking with feta and goat cheese (no brie).0 -
Beer. Especially at Blue Jay games and Pub trivia nights.
Popcorn at movies.
It's surprising, but coca-cola is not but should have been my undoing.
I still just eat too much, sometimes. Habit. Boredom. I had cake Thursday, one reasonably small slice that s friend brought in to work. I DECIDED to eat it. It was lovely. But I think I feel less stable or full the next day, regardless of how much fat/protein I have.
But I am chipping away. And where I would have had 3 pints, I have 2. 4 is now 3. And so on.
Peanut M&Ms must be kept far away from my grasp.0 -
Just found a new one. Sugar free chocolate almonds. I guess I won't buy these anymore.0

Extra sharp cheddar cheese...and blue diamond smokehouse or habanero almonds.....mmmmmmm mmmmmm good!0
