because you can’t control how much of it you’ll eat?
I may have bought 2 boxes of caramel Crunch ‘n Munch at Walmart yesterday and eaten one whole box in about 5 hours. I then gave the second box to my son who has far more self control than I do!
Please help me feel better by telling me you have a trigger too!

Absolutely. Potato chips. I don't eat them in huge quantities at one time, but want a serving at least 1-2 times a day and certainly think about them many times a day as well. It is like an addiction.

I'd say a really good fruit pie, but since I can't ever find any store locally that actually sells decent fruit pies, this has never actually been an issue. But if any of them did, I'd be sorely tempted to eat pie for breakfast, lunch, & dessert. I hate rolling out pie dough, so I almost never make pies. Yet I love a good fruit pie. So the rarity of having it just would add to how much I'd want to keep eating it if I had one. But I am a pie snob and pies other people consider all fine and dandy are gross to me.

I'm a carboholic, so many things could go on my list. I think ice cream would be first on the list, followed closely with chocolate and then any type of corn/tortilla chip.

It's 100% salty, crunchy anything for me. The only thing in this category I have self-control with is tortilla chips and I think that is because I prefer them with salsa, guacamole and refried beans so it is more involved to eat. Potato chips, Kettle corn, Dorito's, pretzels and the best crunchy snack in the world, Hawkins Cheezies (IYKYK), are opened and finished quickly around here. Once upon a time sweets were a problem but DS got a package of Oreos for his Dec birthday that took over 6 months to get finished. TBH, I'm sure they were pretty stale by July and admit that was part of the reason I wasn't tempted to take one (or two ). There was a time that things like that would be gone in 24 hours.

Tortilla chips. At home, I actually have will power, but if I am at a party and someone sets a bowl of chips next to me, I’ll just keeping eating it like I haven’t eaten in days. 😆

Potato chips is the number one thing. It I also don’t do well with cookies or any home baked goods. That’s why I rarely purpose or make them.

Peanut M&Ms and cheese doodles cannot be brought in the house.
I won’t eat the entire bag of M&Ms. But, I will get a handful many times throughout the day.
Gibbles White Cheddar Cheese doodles will be eaten in entirety.

Potato chips and ice cream. I have been known to eat 2 pints of Ben & Jerry’s in one day before. And I can kill a bag of Wavy Lays in one day as well. Especially if there’s good dip available! Ice cream is my desert island food… you know, if you’re stranded on a desert island and can have one food, what would it be? No question mine is ice cream.
ETA: someone mentioned peanut M&Ms, and I guess I have to add that to the list as well. I could snack on those all day long.

Mmmmmm. Crunch n munch. I literally picked up a box yesterday at the store and then put it back on the shelf because I knew I would eat the whole box. I hear you.

Any type of cookies, brownies, or bars. I actually can stop eating them - though I will likely eat more than I should - but DH cannot and will eat all of them. So we rarely buy or make those things.

Cheetos Puffs. I open a bag and eat them until my mouth hurts.
I also discovered this morning that when you pop a Trader Joe’s apple cider donut in the microwave for about 15 seconds it is perfection. I’ve eaten two already and am considering a third.

Like several others, with me it's usually all about the carbs and there are many I just don't buy (or make, WRT baked goods) because they will be eaten very quickly. Tortilla chips are safe because I eat them paired with salsa or guacamole, so they're much more easily controlled. DH tends to eat those by the bag though...sometimes I'll come to the kitchen wanting a snack of tortilla chips & salsa only to find that DH has eaten all of the chips (plain). I'll typically only make baked goods if at least part of it is going out of the house to an event (dinner with extended family, potluck, friends gathering, etc.). Lately, my kryptonite has been Tillamook Caramel Toffee Crunch ice cream - it's so delicious and creamy. If it's in the house, I will eat it...daily (or 2x daily) until it's gone.

French's shoestring potato sticks. I could eat a whole can in one day.
Ice cream. Specifically Magnum mini sea salt caramel. I would eat one or two every day.
White bread. Specifically croissant rolls. Love toasting them for a sandwich.
I cut out all three, because of sugar, cholesterol, carbs and finances (magnum ice cream costs more).
This summer and last summer......I've had exactly one ice cream and one milkshake (Arby's "seasonal" orange cream). Very proud of myself for making the changes. I miss croissant rolls the most!

Potato chips.
Not something I buy, but something I can’t make without over-consuming: sugar cookies from my mom’s recipe and cherry wink cookies. Zero self-control when they come out of the oven! I only make them when I know they are going to be given to someone else or I’m going to be feeding a crowd.

Zebra popcorn. Although I will limit my portion, if I didn't have Type 2 I would inhale the entire bag. It's like crack (if I knew what crack was like!)
ETA: back when I ate candy, Good and Plenty did me in.

Chocolate in virtually any form - but I still buy it because I get twitchy if I can’t have my rations.

Pretty much anything chocolate/peanut butter related. Years ago, a friend bought me a bowl of chocolate/peanut butter ice cream. It was amazing! I have tried a couple of different brands since then and none are as good as what that first one was and I don't know who made it. And she moved away leaving no contact information several years ago.
Also Reeses chocolate/peanut butter cereal. I don't put milk on it, I eat it dry as a dessert-type thing. I really do my best to stay away from both of these foods because I could consume an entire box of cereal in two or three days, by myself! So very unhealthy. And strangely, I tried the Reeses candy and don't like it at all! Nor do I like peanut butter cups. I do love Butterfingers though.

We both have diabetes so we don’t buy a LOT of food because we will eat it. Ice cream, drinks, chips, bread, cereal, pasta, any treats you can think of. We do allow ourselves a pint of ice cream each week, sometimes two. It helps A LOT not to have easy access at home. And before we were willing to eat fast food due to COVID, we lost a decent bit of weight.

Ice cream is my favorite and it gets worse if I have apple pie at home. Apple pie a la mode is my favorite.
