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?
What's your 'can't get enough of food?'

    Of course you can't resist anything you tell yourself you can't have :D
    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".

    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.

    Peanut butter

    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".

    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.

    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
    Roger

    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. :)

    Popcorn. Super buttery, salty popcorn. Oh and m&m's. Yes, sometimes they fall into the popcorn bowl.

    Foods I can't get enough of:
    Crackers and cheese
    Chocolate
    Fruit (healthy but I can eat an absurd amount)
    Cheetos
    Chocolate chip cookies
    Mac and cheese
    Nachos

    I deal with cravings by not keeping foods that I can't resist at home.

    I will eat tortilla chips with salsa until I hate myself.

    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)
