Default What Food is your Weakness???

Just curious post-oppers what food now is your weakness? What can you not have in your house or you WILL eat it?

For me they are peanut butter and Doritos. Not together of course.

I have always had a weakness with peanut butter when dieting. I don't know what it is. Doritos is new. My three year old loves them but all I wanna do is rip the bag from his little hands and tear into them myself. But alas, I have not given in to the willpower. Interested to see other responses.

Last week there was a bag of chips open on the counter and I walked over to fold it up and oops my hand slipped inside. Yes thats right I did it I put one in my mouth and got sick to my stomach. This was before my new meds. I will leave them alone. Sad thing is I didn't even want the darn thing but something in me just said "Go ahead taste it." I can't think of anything else. Well wait those darn Cheese Nips, good thing they don't last but a day or two the kids love them.

Hmm...Bacon Cheddar chips. They look like potatoe strings. Anyways, my son loves them and so do I.

I am not gonna lie, I broke yesterday and ate one really really slow. I didn't get sick but I hid them afterwards to make sure I don't see them all day. :P

Any and all food....hehehe...I'm not really serious but I must admit that there are days I feel that way.

Something I did buy once that had me eating it all day until the bag was gone. After that day I vowed never to bring it back into my house and I haven't. I just drool over it in the store, touch the bag and walk away. It's the Flat Earth Cheddar Vege Chips. They aren't horrible, horrible for you..well if you eat only a serving but I didn't stop there. So nope, they aren't allowed back in the house.

Chips seem to everyone's issue so far. Well, include me in that group. For some reason, it's those dang DORITOS. I didn't crave them before surgery, but especially during those monthly occasions when I really crave salty things, doritos are the only thing that satisfy it for me. Luckily, I can make a small single serving bag last a few days, so that's not too bad, right?? right???

Salt & Vinegar soy-protein chips are my down-fall! Love the crunch and the tangy-salty taste...so...I don't buy them too often...

One thing I thought I'd really, really miss is ordering and eating take-out pizza. But I have to admit I do buy the low-carb, small tortillas (80 calories) and bake them, then add spaghetti sauce, veggies and cheese, then back again into the oven again until the cheese is melted...all ooey-gooey. They are soooo gooood!!!

chocolate... it calls my name and I have other people hide from me. Peanut butter is pretty easy to eat a lot more than I should as are cans of almonds.

Add me to the "chips" list. For me is plain old Ruffles potato chips. The crunch and saltiness gets me every time. If they come in the house, I'm snacking on them. UGH

Chips and Salsa...It was also my weakness pre-surgery...I love good salsa and the salty chip makes it oh so much better...mmm

I'm trying to substitute chips and salsa with celery and salsa but I still miss the chip

Crackers are another weakness which is odd because before surgery I never ate crackers.
