I realized this week...Pizza is definitely one of mine...even if I have the points for it. I need to cut that out for a little bit until I'm better on track.
Cheesecake is another one...I haven't had it since I started WW...and I'm staying away from it for a while...too many points...I like dessert when we go out...but I can make a better choice. I'm going to leave it for special occasions...like my Birthday...etc.
Marianne- why don't you just make a WW friendly cheesecake??
I love pizza and have found flatout wraps (1pt per wrap) to help and the point values are pretty low even with 1 oz of LF cheese and 8 slices of pepperoni on it.
thats what I was thinking about. I need to get a spring form pan or whatever it is.
I'm fine with homemade pizza. But its the takeout pizza...I noticed we have that and it is followed by other bad decisions.
I think candy is another one for me...just not as bad. I did find some sugar free dark chocolate that I really like...that seemed to solve the problem. Satisfies my chocolate craving but it doesnt make me go overboard.
Other sweets I can have in moderation and it doesnt make me go overboard...at least I havent noticed any yet.
I'm with you amandie, beer and wine are both huge trigger foods for me. I like to pretend they're not because I consider them recreation, but I can very rarely have just one, and they often lead to even more dangerous thing, like dessert...
Ditto! But I found a way to incorporate it every single day in a really doable way! I have 1.5 tlbs in my oatmeal every morning (1/2 cup regular quaker old-fashioned oats cooked in water and one packet of splenda too). It is like a dessert every morning and I get to have my most favorite peanut butter and oatmeal---its 8 points for breakfast, but it is filling and really tasty! I use natural peanut butter, so the only ingredient is peanuts!
Bread, bread, bread, bread, bread... Have I mentioned that I love bread? In an effort to maintain my sanity, I have taken to only keeping flatout wraps in the house to use in place of bread.

Better N Peanut better is pretty good and only 1 points plus for a tablespoon! I can make a tablespoon go a long way.
We love chinese food too. If you go into the isle with the Asian food...they have some fantastic packets to make your own. The General Tsos is awesome and a LOT LESS points than the regular stuff...there's a fried rice mix too thats really good.
If it's processed just about any food can be a trigger for me at any time. However, foods that can not come into the house unless it's a special occasion with my whole family being present:
ice cream (except chocolate; for some reason I'm not fond of chocolate ice cream--yeah, I know...crazy)
cookies
potato chips, tortilla chips, Fritos, bbq anything (I'm fine with pretzels)
