What's your 'can't get enough of' / 'I would kill for' food

So I am 5'3 and currently 126lb.
I lost 50lbs and have been maintaining for 16 months now however I am really struggling this month!
I am a strict CICO person and actually took up walking and exercise to allow me to increase my calories. I usually burn an avg of 2k calories per day but it's cream egg and mini egg season and I can't get enough of them.
Last year I managed to refrain from having any and therefore coped fine however I thought I could control it this year, having resisted all temptation for well over a year but I was wrong! One egg led to another and then another.
You would think as a grown adult I could just resist and not buy them but I can't.
Any suggestions?

Of course you can't resist anything you tell yourself you can't have
I struggled so much myself until I understood this "little" fact about our brains. (Yes, plural - we have two.)
I have stopped stocking up on those "can't get enough of" foods. Instead, I will eat them on occasion, and out of the house. For every other day, I eat a varied diet of foods I enjoy, in which "enjoy" encompasses "satisfy me".4 -
I'm surprised at how good I've been when it comes to chips and Smartfood popcorn. I'll put a serving amount into a bowl and then put the rest away. Generally if I try to eat the serving amount slower, I feel more satisfied with the smaller amount.
But if I leave the bags open in front of me it's incredibly hard not to go for it.
Well done, i can do that with most foods however with cream eggs and mini eggs I just can't keep out the cupboard.
The only saving grace is that they only sell them for another two months then stop.0 -

Me too my friend! Peanuts in any shape form or fashion. Guilty of eating peanuts I have to shell and peanut butter every day also CARBOHYDRATES. Any carb. I allow myself plenty, but it's never "enough".0 -
Doritos. I eat 4-5 servings in a go. I could keep going, but I tell myself to save some for tomorrow. Also, I don't want to have to admit demolishing an entire bag in one go.1

Hi
Nuts
Cakes
Donuts
Good Ice Cream
Potato Chips
So many foods. I can not buy a cake and eat just one slice Next thing I know the entire thing is gone and I need a week to recover form it. Not to mention I can feel it affecting how I feel for days. Sweets and Carbs make me feel warm. So the only thing I can think of to do is not buy anything that does not come in a single serving as bought.
Have a Good Day

Luckily, I only get it maybe twice a year, but cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. Any kind that's full of chocolate and peanut butter. I'm not sharing, and there's no way I'm taking any of it home, so I stuff my face till I explode.1

Foods I can't get enough of:

Chocolate

Cheetos
Chocolate chip cookies
Mac and cheese

I deal with cravings by not keeping foods that I can't resist at home.1 -
Donuts, cake, cupcakes, Andy's Custard (in the summer months) and Fireball whisky.1

Another Chips and Salsa fiend. Especially my wife's homemade Habanero Salsa from Hell with Habanero's, Tomatoes and cilantro from our garden.1

See, I grew up with Whitney Houston telling me that not only was the greatest love of all inside of me, but that it was easy to achieve.
The result?! I can eat a "kitten" ton & a half of chips & salsa before I'm merely just a little disappointed with myself. (I'm not going to lie... once or twice I've even shocked or impressed myself)1 -
