    I'm a sucker for a kryptonite compound of these three (but to be completely honest, they're pretty hard to resist by themselves too!).

    “Free” food, particularly sweets. Put food in front of me during a meeting or an event of some kind, and I pretty much feel a compulsion to clean whatever plate it’s on. Pizza, donuts, cookies, chocolate - I’ll inhale it. It takes from fairly deliberate strategies to avoid doing that.

    Peanut Butter! Crunchy or Creamy it does not matter, I cannot keep it in the house, A couple of years ago we hosted our niece while she attended grad school at a local university, and she told me she was going to hide it in her underwear drawer in order to help me keep away from it. Now I just do not buy it at all.

    Same here - it disappears in stealthy tablespoonsful otherwise.

    Everything after alcohol! EtOH definitely is a disinhibitor. It turns out that pita chips go really well with bourbon. Chocolate and wine is obvious.

    Ice cream. Cannot keep it in the house. Always bought specifically to consume. If I don't want to consume it, I don't buy it.
