    Cheese is like crack for me. I can't have it in the house.

    Caramel corn and peanut M&M's. Really any chocolate covered nut.

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

    Recently discovered bacon and caramel popcorn. Dear God.

    That sounds amazing.

    I know I couldn't even outrun backsliding to obesity on my ultra training program if I still ate brownies, cinnamom buns or oreos. Cream cheese frosting may have been created to destroy me :D

    Chips and dip. If I buy it, I'll eat it all.

    For me it's Ruffles and french onion dip and any type of cheese. Love salty, crunchy. In the last month I've started eating mostly plant based which is no meat, dairy, or eggs. That took care of the onion dip and cheese.

    Scooby doo honey graham cracker sticks. I will eat half a box in one sitting and I've never done that with another food before.

    Chocolate of any kind has that effect on me, but I still eat it. I had a big kit kat today and it was glorious

    Jif creamy peanut butter. I swear I could eat that stuff with a trowel. Also crusty bread rolls with butter, and my own chocolate chip cookies. I'll make a batch and send some to work with my husband and take the rest to weaving night with friends. Like others, I can have one when I'm with other people, but left alone with them I do desperate things.

    Anything 'snack-ie' - crackers, popcorn, even cereal.

    Also, can't have any sort of nut butter in the house - (what is it? So many people have this pb addiction???)

    ...anything sweet is a dangerous thing - ice cream, cookies, chocolate even dates!

    I 'make do' with jello and yogurt with berries lol!

    Chardonnay--I do fine with any other variety of wine. And Jif whipped peanut butter, I can (and have) eat the entire tub in a day.

    I tried that thinking it'd be irresistibly delicious and surprisingly I didn't like it. THANK GOD! But give me a spoon and a regular jar of smooth, creamy Jif and I'm doomed. Lol!

    salty - anything crunchy
    sweet - anything gooey
    barbque sauce on anything
    triggers - ice cream and potato chips. Just need to delete them from my mouth.

    Donuts/pastry. Have to buy them singly. Same goes for most chocolate candy, but oddly there are exceptions...if I bought a bag of fun-size Snickers it would be disastrous, but I can buy 2 large bars of Ghirardelli and share with my husband over a span of a couple weeks.

    I am able to pace myself well with ice cream, whether pint, gallon, or treats like ice cream sandwiches. But that's my husband's thing, he will just eat the entire container/box so we only get ice cream "out", by single serving.

    I can't think of anything.

    I just seem to have just gotten used to buying a wide variety of treats in single serves.

    I only used to pig out on anything before I learned to count calories in April 2015.

    Ditto. I will go through an 8-10 oz block of swiss in a day and a half.

    I also have a difficult time with tubs of ice cream. Single serving items are okay, but a half gallon of chocolate or cookies and cream? Ugh. So hard to control it.

    I'm surprisingly okay with cheese. In fact, it's become my distraction snack. If I'm craving something sweet or salty, I'll have a 25g chunk of cheese and find that curbs the original craving and satisfies me, whereas if I gave into temptation and had a bag of crisps, I would find it difficult to stop at one.

    I'm definitely a salt girl though. Love crisps, nuts and maize snacks. Because my boyfriend isn't dieting, he likes to have crisps in the house, which is definitely a struggle. If he doesn't actively ask me to add crisps to the online shopping order though, I'll 'forget'

    I am so envious of people who can do that with cheese. "If one serving is good, 5 is better!" :)

    I'm pretty ok with moderating most things, even though it may be difficult to portion control ice cream and other desserts I can usually do it so I buy those things regularly.

    But I don't buy muffins or breakfast pastries because they are too many calories and I get hungry too fast so I end up way overeating that day if I do that. I miss having a big fluffy blueberry muffin from the bakery for breakfast but it is one of the only things I've drawn the line and said too many calories for what it is.

    Cheese and crackers. Ice cream.

    Lately I've learned how to slice cheese about a millimetre thick, so that it melts on my tongue. No crackers.

    The problem is that I keep wanting several millimetres.

    Anything with cheese, esp mac n cheese and shrimp n grits (grew up with both and so they are just so satisfying to my emotional palette).
    Pastries
    Almond butter
    Cookies
    Brownies
    Nutella

    I have learned that I can overeat anything that I find overly delicious, so I have to keep it out of the house and only have it on vacation.

    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.

    Crunchy nut is definitely laced with something. I've been known to plow through a whole box in less than a day. Stupid delicious cereal.
