    Not necessarily, but chips and salsa are my downfall. And would probably be just as bad if I kept them at home. I was excited when I finally got nutrition information for Chuys, but they're infamous for seeing low baskets of chips and filling them right on back up. The chips are SO good...

    It is funny how different people are when it comes to cravings, snacks, etc! I could never eat another chip and be 100% fine with it. When I go out for Mexican food (which is often), I NEVER eat the chips ever. But if you put a plate of cookies in front of me and a mug of tea or milk, I could eat 2,000 calories without a blink. haha

    Chips and ice cream! I could (and have) eaten a whole bag of chips in one sitting, and I find a serving size of ice cream is never enough. I will eat them for special occasions when I'm a little less strict, but won't stock them at home, since I know it's a bad idea and I can't control myself.

    Nothing much. Fresh baked bread can get crazy with me. My family eats snacks and treats and I am not too interested in them.

    absolutely. no chips at all (love bbq kettle cooked). no soda ( mountain dew) .
    honestly don't have the control to not eat it if it's available. I stopped by Walmart on the way home from the gym and just walked down the chip aisle. sad...

    I have done that TWICE this week, but with the chocolate isle.

    For a while I would keep chips out of my house. It was too easy to want to snack and then end up eating half the container about an hour before dinner. I recently started buying them again after a year and a half and found I'm a little better at controlling my portions.

    Is candy and milk a common combination? I'm struggling to see how one enhances the other!

    Keebler Coconut Dream cookies. I will eat the whole package over the course of a day (found out the hard way). Those are really the only cookies I will do that with. So now if I really want them I buy a package, take my 4 and make my husband hide them until he eats the rest - fortunately he loves them so they are usually gone in a day or two so I can't go looking for them.

    Cheddar Cheese Cracker Combos, OMG. I'm pretty 'meh' about the other ones, but the cheese cracker ones are my downfall.

    tortilla wraps, ham/chicken/turkey slices. I tend to pick at them though out the day.

    Snacks like chips and cookies.... I eat pop corn, veggies or fruit when i want to snack. I’m a big time snacker, especially at night.... so chips and cookies are my worst enemy.

    Nope my fam would eat anything and everything right in front of me and I would control myself lol. After 3 months of that I'm where I wanna be and they still eat those things, but now I can get a taste at least

    I would never keep chips in the house, because I don't know how to stop eating them.

    I don't keep chocolate around as I used to be addicted to it a few years ago (I'd eat, at least, 150 grams of it a day) and I'm afraid I'd binge on it. If I ever do have chocolate, I buy a small bar and have it, but I never stockpile. And also salami, especially dry sausages.

    Ugh. I was in WalMart the other morning after my workout and was starving to death. I nearly caved in and bought fudge brownie mix.

    Ice cream and sweets, once I start I find it hard to stop until it is finished

    I have to watch the sweets. I like going to the bulk store and getting a small amount of sweet treats on the weekend.

    That way I get a little of what I want, but I don't have the entire bag or box in my reach.

    Most of them!
    Chocolate, crisps, cakes, sweets and other snacks.
    Bread and other easily available-carbs, including dried noodles.
    Higher calorie meats like Chorizo (especially Chorizo.)
    Cheese - though at least if I get the 'Protein Cheese' which is 168kc/100g, it's not SOOO bad if I eat the whole 350g pack!
    Cereal.

    I do much better when single it turns out - so can seriously limit my availability to calories.
    Hell, I can easily go through a 1kg pack of carrots in a few hours and still not be full - but at least that's 1/10th the energy of a similar amount of cake.

    Brownies are my downfall.
