    I have quite a few. :embarassed:

    Swedish Fish, marzipan, Doritos (though I NEVER buy them), Ben & Jerry's, gourmet burgers, popcorn...those are the ones that come to mind right now.

    For me, it's cereal. I have no control. I can't just do one serving. I can keep it in the house (other family members eat it). I can even eat one serving dry.

    But as soon as I pour a bowl of cereal with milk, I'm gone. I could eat the entire box, and still not feel satisfied in anyway.
    I probably won't ever eat cereal again, though. I love it too much, and it's definitely what got me to the weight I was.

    Me too! I'm exactly the same, once i have one bowl its all over. it usually starts with "oh there's some milk left in my bowl, I'll just top it up with a little more cereal" then it just full blown cereal binging.

    I don't keep it in the house unless its one I don't like.

    My biggest weakness is coco pops....

    If it can be eaten, I'm powerless, except for turnips, I hate turnips.

    Red Velvet Cheesecake for the Cheesecake factory! Can't have in the house or I will eat it. No control over that compulsion.

    Movie theater popcorn. ANY popcorn.

    My husband makes jalapeno popcorn with seasoning salt...mmm

    BUT I've switched it up with a serving of Popchips or whole wheat crackers anytime I'm dying for that salty crunch

    Mine is pizza. I have learned that I can't order it at all, because I can't eat just one slice (or two for that matter). I love pizza and will eat quite a bit. I have a problem with self control over pizza.

    What foods can you just not buy/order at all because you can't resist?

    me too. I don't go crazy though. 3 slices max. once a month and I bust my *kitten* off burning calories the day before and after.

    Anything at all with cheese...pizza, mozzarella sticks, plain old cheese! Also charcuterie type things - pate, dry salami, olives, etc. And good bread!

    Haha are you me? I don't usually even eat sweet cereal, but I definitely do that same kind of justification in my head.. me+life cereal+ soy milk = box gone and me feeling full

    Sweets and cereal. My MIL had a new batch of cookie, brownies, cake, lemon bars, candy...you name it..around every corner at their house. It killed me. I can't get favorite cereals or I devour them. Namely Crunchy Nut or Honey Bunches of Oats. Yum!

    I recently started measuring out a tablespoon of peanut butter for my toast. :( If you've ever measured out a tablespoon of peanut butter...it just doesn't cut it.

    I want to know who in the world decided what a serving size of something is?

    Anything with icing. Specifically those GIANT cookies covered in icing. Someone at work ALWAYS brings one in for birthdays or parties or whatnot. I know, if given the chance, I'd eat the whole friggin thing.

    I love those! :)

    Peanut butter and granny smith apples. Doesn't sound bad but once I have a tablespoon of peanut butter, one third of the jar is soon empty. :blushing:
