What's your weakness?

What's that one specific food that you would never give up, no matter how beneficial it might be? Or what do you turn to when you need a treat, something beyond the usual fruit and veg?
Mine is cheese. My fridge is 90% cheese, and I think my body might be too. I will burn as many calories as it takes to eat cheese forever. Cheese on salads, on meat, on sandwiches, by the slice. I don't care, I will live and die eating just cheese.
This isn't meant to be a serious thread. Just write a love poem, a sonnet, a requiem for that one food that holds a place in your heart.

    My weakness is ice cream. I have it every night and of course I add it to the daily food diary. I love chocolate too. If my calories are over one day I do not worry about it. I keep my exercise up during the week and have learned the word "OK." Life throws curves at you so you adjust and not sweat the small stuff! I have been at a plateau for a month now and know it is "OK" and will break eventually. I could be putting on muscle so not worries! I just focus and get back on track and move forward instead of focusing on what I did not do!

    I'm also a cheese person. Coffee is also nonnegotiable.

    Things that you can dip into other things (various carbs into cheese, croutons and ranch, stuff with chocolate...etc) and m&ms...I've loved m&ms since I was 2 or 3 and it's been my go-to since

    Fried chicken hands down! The calorie count is not that much higher surprisingly and I mean seriously- a skinnier me without fried chicken would be a shell of my former self🤪

    Halvah, cookie dough, peanut butter and vegan cream cheese, the last two I do enjoy in moderation. Halvah is a rare treat, but found a sugar free version I might get that's in single serving wrappers and I get Sweet Lorain's GF and plant based Cookie dough and enjoy that in moderation. Yay!

    what do i refuse to give up?

    my coffee and creamer. its non-negotiable.

    what do I refuse to buy unless I have specifically pre-planned for it and logged it (and only buy the portion I'm 'allowed')?

    Peanut butter cups

    Coffee and bread are the two things I won't give up. But my ultimate weakness? Pastries. I can't control myself around cookies, donuts, cake. So I try not to buy it lol.

    Baked goods. Cake, brownies, cheesecake, cookies, cinnamon rolls, donuts, pancakes, waffles, bread pudding.... as long as it's soft and bready and disgustingly sweet, I want it.
    Oh, also sushi. I have to be careful with sushi, I could probably eat enough to put a place out of business if given the chance. It's actually pretty horrifying how much sushi I can eat lol

    Crisps, nuts, snacks like that with a drink like a G&T or a beer. If I buy a share bag there ain't no sharing going on :D

    The only way I can control this is NOT to buy them, and that seems to work for me hah.
