    I wish I had never bought a package of those cookies that we're talking about (I'm sure we're thinking of the same kind) because they are so good...and so bad and just leave me wanting more.

    I'm glad I've never tried that sweet chex mix. I'll be sure to keep away from it At my work, in the snack mixes section, there are Bugles Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor. I'm sure they are junkie nirvana also.
  • Cheez It Snack Mix - never had a box last more than 48 hours (and that's generous).

    Nuts of any kind. My doctor wants me to raise my good cholesterol by eating nuts, and I don't think she understands me when I tell her yeah, I can do that, and shoot right back up to over 200 lbs.

    Basically any kind of potato chip, pretzel, cracker, even the ones I don't like so much.

    This is the first time in my life ANY type of cracker has lasted a week in my house, and that's because I buy the (expensive) Kashi 7 grain crackers and portion 12 a day into a baggie to have with hummus for lunch, at work. I've gotten much better but even then, have dove into them 2 or 3 times and inhaled half a box. Still, that is huge progress!

    Salty, crunchy, gobs of chemicals are my kryptonite. I swear they put heroin in them.

    OMG yes, stay away from the chex mix! haha. Then again it's not a huge bag, so maybe at goal, every once in a while, I can have my bag and eat it too

    Forgive me for this, haha, but are these them? Lofthouse? A clear plastic clamshell package with like 10 cookies? OMG, they make me crazy

  • POP!!! especially cola ,.... were in a love hate relationship
  • Peanut butter and peanuts.

    I've been reintroducing them back into my diet because I'm not eating enough. I've been doing good portioning them out and not going overboard, but ooooohhhh boy is it hard!
  • Potato chips of any kind. I'll even binge on the flavors I don't even like that much, like jalapeno kettle cooked. Also Ritz crackers, Muenster cheese, ring Bologna, the honey mustard pretzels the rest of you mentioned, and pizza bites. God, I miss pizza bites. But they're just too dangerous for me.
  • I think I can binge on just about anything. Especially carbs though...

    I can eat entire an entire baguette by myself. No problem. Love white rice, pasta, carbs in general. And sweets. BROWNIES. A pint of Ben and Jerrys half baked is lucky if it lasts two days.
  • Nutella, will easily eat the jar
    Hummus, cannot eat the right portion
    Anything salty/spicy/ crunchy
    Boxed sugary cereals or even the non sugary kind
  • Hint of Lime Tostidos with melted cheddar and sour cream....
  • Italian food.. I love love love italian food. I love it oh so much. Im not the biggest fan of candy or chocolate, i can stay away from it. I can control chips and soda. But Italian food. Its a weakness.
  • Quote: I can eat entire an entire baguette by myself.
    You mean a baguette isn't a single serving?

    Chocolate, especially belgian chocolate. Potato chips, which is odd because I don't even really like them that much. Doritos. Bread, especially homemade or from the fancy bakery by dd's school. Cookies, brownies, cheesecake (not cake or pie though, oddly enough).
  • Cadbury Creme Eggs. Those get me into trouble. I remember getting hooked way back in second grade. My best friend and I would walk all the way to the other end of town to the grocery store with the change we'd carefully save up for just for those eggs. Back then they were 45 cents each. Once we'd get back home we'd hide in my basement and carefully unwrap them to indulge. The fact that they were only available once a year made our want for them even greater (isn't it crazy how clearly I remember something candy-related from almost thirty years ago?)! I can still get high on those things and not want to stop, in fact I bought a package when they first came out this year and immediately regretted it, as I ate all five of them in one day.

    Also, anything with buttercream frosting. Heck, I can eat the frosting all by itself! When I was a kid I used to sneak canisters of it in my room.

    Sugar in general is totally like a drug to me. I don't even keep pure sugar in the house because I'd be tempted to add it to everything. I think I've mentioned this already, but when I was growing up my mom once accidentally added too much salt to a pot of macaroni and cheese. In an attempt to counter it, she added some sugar hoping no one would notice. My dad asked what she did differently because it was so much better, so from then on she always added sugar to it . . . as if it wasn't unhealthy enough already!

    Quote: I tend to stick with the line of thinking many others have, it's easier to resist once at the store than many times over at home.
    That's totally what I go for as well. Which is why I now avoid the Easter aisles.

    OH crap. Those are out. I have to watch out for those dumb eggs. They're so good

    Then again, I probably won't be able to handle them anyway. Ah well.
  • Reese peanut butter cups, icing out of the jar(only a few teaspoons @ a time) Like that makes it any better LOL!
    Bagels, cheese scones, crunchy potatoe chips. Basically I love sweet & salty and sugary foods as my weaknesses!
