    Cheese. It doesn't matter if it's sharp, mild, creamy, hard or even stinky. Put a block of cheese in front of me and it'll be gone before the second glass of wine is poured.

    My biggest weakness is my home made vanilla slice, I used to bake it for my family but i just cant resist a slice if its in the house, so now i bake them things i don't feel tempted by instead. I don't even have a sweet tooth really but the thought of it consumes me, i have even woken from dreams of eating it!

    I have my own pantry cupboard now with my healthy foods in it as the sight of chips/crisps makes me far too tempted to cheat and just have a taste .. and honestly who can eat just one lol. Im hoping to get my family on board with healthier choices in the new year so hopefully both pantries will be only full of healthy options soon :smiley:

    Sourdough bread. I bought a loaf a few weeks ago because it was an the sale rack. Whole thing was gone in a couple of days. I can let any other bread go stale, but that sourdough.

    Pasta for me. Gosh I can eat a small bowl of spaghetti and next thing I know i'm on my third bowl. Junk food I can live without if I keep it out of the house but pasta is always in my pantry and I have a hard time not grabbing a second bowl even if I eat real slow and drink water before the meal (or after).

    Snyders Hot Buffalo Wing Pretzel Pieces. I can't stop eating them!

    I've only tried the cheddar, honey mustard and salted caramel. MUST try the Buffalo wing if I can find it!

    Baked goods times a million. Birthday cake? Forget about it. PB is my friend and foe. Stacey's PITA chips for me too! Can't have them in the house.

    I don't have a problem keeping within budget, but anything new will take up a good chunk of my day. For example, I discovered Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Peppermint Bar late last month, and I ended up fitting in 107 grams worth of the bar into my macros (about 562 calories worth of chocolate and 22.5% of that day's budget). When the novelty wears off, everything goes back to normal. Although, thanks to @Francl27 's ongoing new products thread, it's never too long before I find something new again. XD

    Fresh homemade bread. Like straight out of the oven. I can finish a loaf before it's properly cooled down for human consumption. Nothing else comes even close.

    Goldfish crackers or other cheese flavored salty snacks like cheese puffs are pretty hard for me to moderate.
    Dh bought some lime flavored chips once and I told him he needed to not bring those home again.

    I CANNOT start eating goldfish crackers... Pepperidge Farms put the "crack" in crackers...

    OMG, yes. Goldfish or my favorite, Hot n Spicy Cheez-its.

    Plain m&m's. Candy-coated crack. It's all or nothing with those.

    I don't bring much into the house for this very reason. So my binges consist of yogurt, quest bars, cottage cheese, Ezekiel bread and bananas. Crazy, I know. But I can still rack up a few thousand calories. I had to banish peanut butter a few months ago. The same jar sat in the pantry for 6 months untouched, then one day, I ate it. The whole thing.

    The office kitchen on the other hand, has become the dumping ground for every gift basket, platters of cookies, pies, cakes, you name it. One day last week, I racked up 4700 calories from sweets alone. Holy bourbon balls. Seriously, January can't come soon enough.

    Seedless grapes (any color) and cherries. If they are on the kitchen counter they will disappear very fast so I always keep them in the fridge because I don't like them cold. I just take out what I will eat for desert or as a snack.

    Brownies, chocolate cupcakes, chocolate cake, chocolate pudding. Anyone see a trend here. Oh, also cheese. I'm trying to lower my cholesterol and I really just want to eat all the cheese.

    Cookies. :( I can't buy them from the bakery of my grocery store or make a batch because I will eat them all (or most). I've tried pre-portioning them out into sandwich bags, but I know they're still there and it doesn't work long term. Sadly not too many places sell just one or two cookies.

    ^^ I learned this lesson the hard way today. I made three different batches of oatmeal cookies... peanut butter & chocolate chips, chocolate & butterscotch chips, and cranberry oatmeal... you know, for Christmas.
    I tested them a bit too much..

    Apparently any free food that's been gifted to us at work because I've been out of control with the See's candy, mixed nuts (really just picking out all the cashews), cookies, chocolate covered almonds, and chocolate covered raisins in the past two weeks.

    THIS!!! I just re gifted an unopened See's assortment because I knew if I opened it to find the Bordeaux, it would be over for me!!

    Fresh, soft, chewy caramel chocolate chip cookies. I just need to sniff them and then they 'magically' disappear (into my stomach).
