My weakness is salty foods. I know I need to stay away from them, but i am curious when everyone started their diets, what was the most impossible to stay away from and how did you control it?

    Ice Cream. With summer quickly approaching, I hope I have the willpower to resist the trips to Dairy Queen!

    Candy bars! I work 60 hours a week and then go to grad school at night. I'm always running around and those vending machine treats look sooooo good and quick when I'm hungry.

    Kettle Chips, Cheez Its, vanilla waffers, kit kats.

    I don't keep any of these in my house. If I want them I have to buy an individual package.

    Homemade mac and cheese, Reeses cups, Cool Ranch Doritos, Jelly beans.

    I replaced my unhealthy snacks for healthy ones (peanuts, almonds, string cheese) and I stopped buying them. As for the mac and cheese, I haven't yet conquered that one. I still like to make a gooey, delicious mac and cheese from time to time. I just try to control my portion.

    crisps (chips) and chocolate bars (candy bars)

    I can seriously eat my own weight in either/or/both :)

    Bread. And cheese. Most other things I end up forgetting about eventually.

    Sweets. Ugh. I have so much left over candy at my house and I cant stop grabbing a couple starburst jelly beans here and there. Oh, and Reese Cup eggs... omg so good. But I stay away from them. 170 cals I'd rather eat at dinner!

    Not sure if these are straight from hell or a gift from heaven. I could make myself sick on them.

    Currently my weakness is Cadbury Mini Eggs that I stupidly decided to bring to work. This weakness is not controlled...

    Potstickers. And pizza. I build in whole wheat pizza from time to time, and eat potstickers about once a month.

    ANYTHING with peanut butter in it or on it.
    Over the weekend I was indulging a bit and got a big spoon full of peanut butter and used that to scoop out jello sugar free chocolate pudding. Oh my.

    Chips and Salsa. May not sound like a terrible weakness, but I can pack it away if not careful.

    Chips and dip. I still have them, but I don't sit down with the bag of chips and a tub of dip anymore.

    My sweet tea and Publix (grocery store in the Florida area) bakery yellow cake with buttercreme frosting. I can't resist it, it is impossible. So, I just keep my distance :)

    They are surely a combination of both! My weakness is normally anything salty and crunchy.....or anything Reese's!

    Definitely goldfish crackers. I am obsessed with them but they're not too high in calories.
