I used to try and buy those fun sized chocolate snacks to take with me in lunches. And then they would all be gone in a night. So, now I just won't buy them. I'm trying to have snacks in the house that are better for me but still sweet, so that I can still assuage my needs for sweet things. I don't like them overly much so that helps them last more than five minutes.
Take out mexican food. It is my kryptonite. When I cook mexican dishes at home I can make smart (well, smarter choices) but when I'm at a tacqueria, boy watch out!
Garlic bread ..i could eat a whole loaf in one sitting. also twizzlers..i'm not a big fan of candy for the most part but there is just something about twizzlers, once i start i cant stop ..i once ate a 5 pound bag in under an hour
Sausage rolls. Especially greggs sausage rolls. I saw the fat content in them a while ago and it was something ridiculous. I used to have 1 or 2. Now I just refuse to buy them. I love them so much, but they are so unhealthy it's not even worth it :P
Oh and Nutella. I sit and eat the whole jar. So I haven't bought nutella in about 3 months!

I have never said no to fish and chips when suggested but have gone 3 weeks now without a portion! In the house my weakness is for Ben & Jerry's, I have to ask someone to prise the tub from my hands and put it back in the freezer. I also adore fancy crisps and dip which I no longer purchase
These Annie's chocolate grahams. I only bought them once, and I couldn't stop myself from consuming the entire box in one sitting (over 700 calories!).
I shopped yesterday and walked past them. "So we meet again." I was so tempted to buy them, but after the application of much will power I put them back. I know it would be easier for me right now to just avoid bringing them home than to try resisting them. Damn delicious bunnies.
Cookies
Certain chocolates (namely Reeses and Kit Kats)
Nutella (I just discovered this one...DOHHHH!!!! Not allowed in the house anymore).
Kroger Dry Roasted Lightly Salted Peanuts (I will eat half the jar in one sitting)
Ben & Jerrys or Haagen Dazs
Tortilla chips with guacamole and/or queso
salt and vinegar chips
caramel popcorn
pop chips
pickles (i can eat a whole jar sadly)
I tend to go through about 4 jars of pickles a week (sometimes more...) but since they are low cal/low carb I let myself have them... even though I know they are really high in sodium. They are my "trade" since I don't get chips, fries, etc.

I love mexican food, and definitely have this same issue. I cook my own about 4 times a week but I still find myself walking into Mexican restaurants or calling in delivery orders. Ugh.
I don't buy:
Any sweets except dark chocolate occasionally
Salted nuts (I do buy raw unsalted)
Chips
Fries
juice
most fruit (I'm low carb)
