What is your food weakness, (demise)?

  1. I am such a potato chip (Doritos, Salsa Flavor)
  2. Peanut butter - ice cream, candy or jar of this but I am just a big nut for peanut butter

Since surgery I have been really good. I don't go around, eat or even shop in these aisles anymore. :clap2:

Question too, are there any people that are nearing their goal weight but are having problems with the last 10 - 15lbs? If so, do you think that your favorite food plays a part in the resistance?

I always turn to carb foods like cakes, Cookies etc. But those foods per se are not such a problem for me, I can resist them usually but its more about being in the situation where they're the easy choice. Like being disorganised, getting caught out at lunchtime with no healthy food on me like fruit, eating on the run etc.

That and easy crap for dinner like Pasta for the same reasons, no time to cook a meal, not having done the grocery shopping etc. If I control my life better my food choices are good, if I have healthy choices available I dont crave the junk or choose it.

I have a few. These are the foods I love, crave and have no control over:

1.Chocolate. Not chocolate ice cream or anything else. I'm talking pure solid milk chocolate candy.

2. mashed potatos. Creamy, salty buttery goodness.

3. cake and cupcakes. From scratch. Not a box. Home-made or a really good bakery.

4. macaroni and cheese and any kind of Pasta dish.

5. My famous huge warm from the oven chocolate chip Cookies

Oh my! You guys! Ok, no more shopping in these aisles! Bad girls bad bad girls...oh and boys!

<<pulls out her green monster ruler:cool:

Filet Mignon, Pizza, chips and my famous dip...these are a few of my favorite things.

Sweets: Anything with frosting, doughnuts, honeybuns, cookies with chocolate, oh and dark chocolate....and pretty much any bread, buttered please.

Right now I'm on a kick of chocolate glazed donut holes from Wal-Mart (their brand). It seems they jump into my mouth throughout the day.....those little boogers stalk me. :heh:

I'm usually a huge fan of a grilled hamburger with cheese and then add some FF's. We've gotten better and started grilling potato wedges. Cook the potato in the microwave & cut into wedges. Spray with your favorite butter spray (we like Parkay spray) and then sprinkle with some Mrs Dash. They are quite yummy and healthier than regular FF's.

Ice Cream, chocolate, (never cared for chocolate until recently, I think it's because it goes down soooo easily), and those white cheddar puffs by UTZ, OMG, they dissolve in your mouth and anything with Ranch dressing.

I love donuts, unfortunately, but fortunately, no bread products for me :omg: the thought of eating bread or a donut.

I go through phases. I can't really say what is responsible for the phase like my monthly cycle or anything, they just happen. One week I'll be salty snack crazed and I can't stay away from things like Cheetos or potato chips. Oh my.... chips and salsa, especially queso just drive me wild. Then the next week it'll be cookies. Then yet another week will be candies, like chocolate candy, jelly beans, gummy bears, etc. Oh God! I've got a multi-personality appetite! Maybe I need a shrink..
