Do you have a food/drink that you have to abstain from?

I thought this might be a fun discussion. My kids were teasing me last night because I haven't bought chocolate covered almonds in a long time. We used to have a Costco bag of them in the cupboard all the time. I can't have them in the house because that is definitely a food with no brakes for me! Any other chocolate, I can stop. Chocolate covered almonds are a buy just a serving from the bulk food section now. More expensive dollar wise but less expensive calorie wise.
Do you have a no brakes food and, if so, what is it?

It's Oreos for me. If they are in my house, I cannot stop thinking about them. I will make 100 trips into the pantry and get "just one"...until the bag is empty. I swear if I'm really quiet I can hear them calling my name in there!!13

Dairy. I love dairy, particularly cheese. It does not love me back.7

Cheese flavored stuff like goldfish crackers, cheetos, cheese puffs. I just do not buy because I will overeat them.
There was some lime flavored potato chip that dh bought once that I demolished. I told him if he wants that he should not bring it home and he has not.8 -
Ice cream. I can eat it outside home in normal quantities, but alone at home with a bowl of ice cream? There is no way I stop after a "serving".7

Sugar frosted cookies, I only buy them 2-3x/year. They are so good!3
-
Bacon flavoured puffy snacks. Definitely for special occasions only.2
-
Caramel covered popcorn.
It appears around my office around Christmas and if I start eating it I don't stop.3 -
Caramel corn and peanut M&M's. Really any chocolate covered nut.5
-
Milk chocolate
Cheese
Crackers
I know if I have any of these in the house I will eat them non-stop until they're gone, so I don't buy them.6 -
I don't buy for home consumption: Ice cream or desserts, biscuits, cookies or cakes, chips or other snack foods, candy, chocolate or other sweets, soda, squash or iced tea, sweet breakfast cereal or spreads.
I eat any of these in controlled, social situations, on special occasions, out of the house.12 -
Honey Nut Cheerios. I've been doing better with portions but I really should stop buying it. But it was the staple of my childhood so if it's not in the pantry (where I keep it on the highest shelf, hidden behind things), I feel like there's no food in the house.4

For the last 15 or so years I've "abstained" from:
Candy, pastries, cookies, potato chips, sugary drinks.
And I don't buy tortilla chips.4 -
I also have trouble with breakfast cereals, such as Frosties, any granola involving chocolate, and of course, Crunchy Nut Cornflakes, which everyone knows contain some kind of narcotics.
ETA I don't actually abstain from these things, as banning things just makes them more appealing to me. I limit my access to them.8 -
Donuts and anything that is a peanut butter/chocolate concoction7
-
Coke.2

That's coca-cola! Lol22

Cheese. I have to avoid a lot of foods how health and religious reasons, but cheese was the last thing to go. It is definitely something that I can't moderate at all, so I have to remind myself how it will make me feel everytime I'm tempted.3

Costco sells a Chicago Mix (cheese and caramel corn) that is basically crack in a bag!
