What's your Kryptonite

What is your weakness when it comes to food? What are you doing to overcome this weakness?

I'm not sure, at this time, that I have a "kryptonite". I thought, a few years ago, that it was Nutella. Now, it doesn't seem to be. I thought, a few years ago, that it was chocolate. Now, it doesn't seem to be. What I've been doing has been nothing more exotic than weighing and logging the foods. Even on days when I overeat, it's more of an emotional response to some non-food stimulus than an emotional response to a food stimulus. I'm working to recognize the different sorts of things that can be my non-food stimulus and nip that day right in the bud.

I know what my food intake on a deficit day is supposed to look like. I have to pay attention that I go through the motions of preparing and eating that food.

Beer. I love beer and its so hard just to have one especially when I'm out w/ a friend. I've gotten better to try to sub water for what normally would be another beer.

My weakness when I was extremely overweight was everything.
Now or since I've been eating right is peanut butter. Sometimes I can't control myself with it and have 2 spoon fills. It's just about the greatest tasting food ever!

*blink*

2 spoonfuls is out of control????

That isn't out of control? The smaller spoon is what I use, I guess tablespoon is the word?

peanut butter cups. actually chocolate and peanut butter together in any form. i do still eat pb cups, but i buy what i can have in one serving (and dont buy it terribly frequently). not a big pack of it to keep in the kitchen. cause.... ill eat it all in one serving LOL

OMG I LOVE these!!!! I have to limit myself to one bag at Easter as well...

Biscuits, cookies and pastries of any kind. I simply don't have them in the house now and when they turn up at the office in work (as they often do) I either have a bad day or summon up sufficient willpower to abstain.

It's a constant stuggle. Sometimes I win and sometimes I don't, but when I don't I move on and keep going with the plan. As long as I can win more often than not I'm happy.

Peanut Butter - 100% nuts. From the jar ( I never double-dip though )

Honey roasted Pistachios, any type of salted nut.
Chocolate covered pretzels.

RaceTrac hot dogs with cape cod salt and vinegar chips. Was usually a multiple times a week lunch because I was always driving around lunch time. Easy to avoid now that I work from home, but I still get cravings.

Ruffles with sour cream and onion dip. Can’t keep them in the house.

Home made Scones with jam and cream....

Ice cream. I used to sit and finish a half gallon in day

My absolute weakness is beer. And also reese's peanut butter cups with a monster zero ultra.

Cereal with oat milk. Specifically fruit and fiber love the stuff. I rarely buy it as can get through a box in a few days ( I end up eating mostly cereal)
