I will drink this until it’s completely gone, in a matter of days. You?

    Bacon, potato chips, cheetos, cupcakes, milk chocolate (I can eat dark chocolate in reasonable amounts).

    I can't stop eating liquorice. Seriously. I have one piece, then 10, then the rest of the pack. and if I have more in the house I might open that as well. And don't get me started on pure liquorice extract. It's soooooo good. I suspect there's a medical reason of sorts that I urge this so much, and have since discovering it as a wee child, but I just love it!

    It's hard to remember. (Loss happened 9+ years ago.) The only one I can think of was Taco Flavor Doritos, one of the few so-called junk-foods I actually ate.

    For sure, there were and are lots of things I eat less often or in smaller portions than I used to when I was obese - that has to be true, right? But I was already eating a lot of reasonably healthy things - whole foods, generally. I know other people may have more highly-processed foods, so-called junk foods, calorie-dense fast foods, or treat foods in heavy rotation. But a person can get fat over-eating nearly anything.

    This used to be more commonly discussed around here, the thesis that some people tend to be moderators, and others tend to be unavoidably triggered by having certain foods around, so need to be abstainers. A bunch of people in the middle - including me - will be able to moderate certain calorie dense things, but need to completely give up others, either temporarily or permanently. Generally, the consensus seemed to be to encourage continuing to eat highly-desired foods that a person was able to moderate, in order to minimize deprivation-triggered over-eating eventually.

    That categorization can change over time, too . . . either because eventually more foods can be moderated, or because tastes change. I've bought the Doritos occasionally. I can moderate them now. But I don't enjoy them as much as I once did, in purely hedonistic terms.

    Everyone is different, if you ask me.

    any treats. Zero junk food in my house. Im weak around it. My only treat is my home made chocolate protein popsicles.

    I live alone so no outside influences. Ever since i divorced it was a lot easier to lose fat.

    Pecans.

    I keep almonds, walnuts, Brazil nuts, but no pecans.

    I just cleaned my snack cupboard and threw away old, old candy.

    Ice cream. I’ve been away from MFP for quite a while, and a few days ago I bought three pints. Already gone.
