What is your trigger food?

[Lemononachair]

As in, the one that you have NO self control when it comes to eating it.

Mine is crisps, specifically salt & vinegar but tbh most crisps will do it for me. I can't just have one packet if I have a multipack, or part of a big 'sharing my bag. I've learnt through bitter experience that if I buy them, I will eat them until they're all gone. I have no self control 😞

Nothing else has quite the same effect, in fact I could quite happily go weeks or even months without eating many other things (chocolate, biscuits, etc)

I actually just can't allow myself to buy them anymore except very occasionally as a treat as I know I can't be trusted.

What really does it for you?

@StatementKnickers I highly recommend it

Toast

White chocolate I could eat it by the truck load.

Also those sodding Lotus caramelised biscuits. They are like biscuit crack!

Basically, anything sweet

Fig rolls. Whole packet must be eaten fresh

I’ve recently found M&S mini whips (like walnut whips but without the walnut) - they come in a bag like the big chocolate buttons. They don’t last more than 15 minutes. I’m going to have to stop buying them and telling myself they’ll last me all week.

Wotsits .. especially the steak ones! Jaffa cakes too. And crumpets with Lurpak and thick slices of proper cheddar

Twiglets.

@Makegoodchoices Same. With Wotsits. And all slightly toasted.

Bread - the good stuff only, supermarket tosh I’m fine

I have been avoiding it whole lockdown

Chocolate
Breadsticks or crackers with loads of butter

Chips 🤷🏼‍♀️

Dark chocolate digestives.

Tunnock's teacakes.

Can't have either of them in the house.

Quorn scotch eggs. So random, I know! Maybe it's the salt?!

Yes to lotus biscuits! I don’t think I even really like them so never think go buy them, but my god if there’s some on offer at work or at a friends I literally cannot stop eating them, to the point where I’ll be thinking you cannot have another one you look so greedy and rude, yet I literally can’t help myself

Mine is also cheese, crackers and a nice relish/pickle of some type. I’ll make myself two but then keep going back for more repeatably!

Quorn picnic eggs
Hot and spicy Cheetos (I cant stop once I've opened a share bag and I will NOT share)
Cool original Doritos with spicy chilli cheese dip from Asda.

Used to be chocolate and cake but I have finally kicked the habit. I've lost 2 stone this year mainly by giving up junk. I am addicted to Diet Coke though and I don't have sufficient will power to give that up.

Cake. I don’t buy cake anymore because I will sit down with a fork and eat an entire red velvet cake like an ordinary plate of food. Apple pies, jam tarts, snowballs, chocolate covered fudge brownies, cupcakes - all gone in one sitting. I have eaten an entire gateaux a good few times.

Fresh baked bread, definitely. Also giant chocolate buttons. If I open the pack, I'm going to eat all of them. Same with the caramel buttons.

For some reason since my last pregnancy liquorice? I can't get enough but it plays havoc with my hormones and it makes me seek out other sugary food. I've just finished a bag and have vowed not to replace it until I've lost half a stone.

Lions wine gums or fruit salad sweets. Our local sweet shop sells them, I can’t resist eating loads at once.

Also a S&V crisp demolisher, OP. And yy to the lady who said about M&S cheese twists. I find it's the same with their thai crackers too.

I find a really good pate can disappear in an evening so easily.

Cocktail sausages are like crack to me as well.

Can resist chocolate easily tho. Savoury is my kryptonite.

Sugar. As in, just spoonfuls of sugar. I don't buy junk food but there is always sugar for baking. I eat a few spoonfuls a day and feel so guilty about it.

Crisps. Can’t keep them in the house. Not bothered about sweet stuff (still have loads of Christmas chocolate left), but crisps I have no self control over.

Chocolate. Especially Cadbury Caramel. I don't buy it now.

Cake.

Cookie dough.

Bread, and biscuits!
