    Homemade bread.

    Oh yeah. Loaf of bread, whatever. But if it's baked that day, at home, it's eaten that day.

    Chocolate. White bread. Crisps. Nuts. Any carbonated drink

    I am very careful with ice cream, other desserts, cookies, cake, chocolate, other candy, sweet cereal, chocolate milk powder, instant tea powder, nutella and similar, chips, other salty snacks. I just avoid buying them. I don't care about soda and alcohol, and things like hamburgers, pizza and hot dogs are "just food" to me, not "trigger food". Dates and certain other dried fruit, peanuts, honey, tahini and peanut butter form their own special category because they are real foods that are just too easy to overeat.

    When I'm out and social (which isn't often), I eat anything I want that is offered. Recently I've started to buy single servings of chocolate to eat at home, alone, but just one per week, and I plan on doing the same with all the foods on the list that can be portioned safely. I will be following this pattern for the foreseeable future.

    I'm a moderator, I will eat anything I want, but not all the time, and not everything at once. I don't feel restricted. (I resent feeling the need to explain myself, but - oh well.) Food should taste good, but not too good. This strategy reduces stress. So much easier to say no just once, in the grocery store.

    Thanks everyone for the responses! Sweets are one of my top ways to go overboard too. Ice cream, cake, donuts...

    Goldfish crackers, cheese puffs are hard to have around and moderate.

    My not buying these things is also driven by wanting to spend my money on food with more nutrients per calorie.

    Potato chips are my downfall. My husband hides a bag in the garage.

    Pasta and ramen noodles, and peanut butter. The last two especially, since it takes so little time from preparation to cheating with them on my diet.

    Those dark chocolate covered pretzel crisps. They're my Kryptonite. Last time they were in my house, a Costco-sized bag disappeared in two days. I'm not allowing myself to buy them anymore... :)

    Salty snacks - chips, tortilla chips, crackers. They aren't around unless we're having people over who will wipe out a bag. I can't moderate them.
    Also, loaves of "good" bakery bread. I can, and will, eat an entire baguette in a day.

    Icecream- Icecream bars and cones like drumsticks are my downfall but even a tub of icecream- I eat vegan but 100% of the time if icecreams there im eating it until im sick and its gone.

    Cookies, Cakes- Basically baked goods in general. Can have a bite and be like this isnt even THAT good- Wont matter its still a baked good ill eat it until its gone uncontrollably lol.

    And stuff like pizza- I used to buy huge pizza sales and freeze them- I would always think well i could freeze in 2 slice portions and just bring out and dethaw when having a busy day. Youd think itd work but nope. Id eat nothing but pizza until it was all gone.

    Im not really good at moderation thats why i like how i eat now lol, Dont really need to moderate

    I can have any of it in my house as long as I don't open it :). I have kids and a spouse who all like snacks and have no weight to lose so I don't want to restrict them. I find that I am fine as long as I don't start eating them. Container of red vines sitting in the pantry and I haven't touched them in weeks (not because I don't eat sweets but because I'd rather spend my left over calories on chocolate!). If I start eating them though all bets will be off!

    Ooh! That reminded me of another one. Haribo peaches. I'm usually more of a chocolate/frosting/cookie person and can leave non-chocolate candy alone really well (matcha milk hard candy in my desk is 17 cal/piece but I'll have like two per week). Not the case with Haribo peaches. Last time I bought some, I ate the whole bag on my drive home - which was maybe six miles!
