    Ugh, chocolate chip cookies. It's way too hard for me to stop at just one!

    nothing, even if you go over your cals one day or a few days it won't be detrimental to your diet

    I no longer buy or eat nuts, nut butters or any form of sweets. All are trigger foods and I can't stop.

    Chocolate fudge Pop Tarts - they don't even have to be warm. I can stop at one, but it triggers a "junk" binge.

    This is my second week on my program. I went to the Chinese restaurant and only ate one plate! Even though I packed in the calories, I considered that I did good because I would have had 2+ plates of food plus dessert! oh. . .yea. . . and BREAD. . .oh how I love bread!!! But, so far, I'm doing good with this. I eat one slice per serving. I have found Arnold mini wheat sandwich thins . . excellent!!!

    Olive Garden breadsticks.. Yum! And boysenberry pie. I haven't had either in two years! I feel like if I started eating stuff like that again I would do a total backslide.

    what's wrong with a natural pb sandwich on whole grain bread? :)
    Nothing, but these are the foods we can't control so we avoid.

    Me? Coffee. Not just any cup of coffee, I want a nice kona blend prepared in my french press. No frou frou flavored creamers. I like creme and maybe a bit of stevia to sweeten, but I want a pastry along side it. Something rich and decadent and probably a zillion calories from the bakery. I know I can't have it. Coffee triggers my insomnia and I'd hate to think what kind of hoops I'd have to do in order to fit cream and a bakery pastry into my food goal for the day.

    It's not that I can't control it, it's that I feel terrible after eating it.. With it being nearly 350cal/ sandwich, I just can't do it.. Because with my apple, and 30 special k chips I would eat with it, it becomes a 550 cal lunch which I cannot to.. It has to be 400 or less if I will eat it guilt free...

    Try using PB2 sometime. It's pricey but very very low cal. Tolerable taste too.

    For me, it's odd. I can't think of anything. I eat pizza, ice cream, beer, whatever.. Just have relatively small quantities and then I move on. Is that unusual?
