Addictive foodstuffs.
What is it that you just can't stop eating, no matter how bad it is and no matter how full you feel?
My S-i-L once described Doritos and dip as "like heroin" and I found it hard to disagree, despite never having tried Doritos heroin.
For me it could be countless things but this week I have been mainly stuffing fruit Mentos.

Chocolate.... Pringles.....
and rich teas biscuits. I can finish half a packet, if not a full packet, in one go. I've had to all-but give them up

Munchies - full packet to nothing in seconds. The only thing that stops me is getting to the end of the packet!
I have a real problem with Cashew nuts too. If I open a packet they are all going to be gone! |

Mmm Mint Munchies (why did they stop calling them Mintolas?).
I avoid buying them for the same reason as John mentions.

Pretty much anything "bite-size" from M&S that come in those nice big tubs. One piece easily leads to two, three, four, five... or half the tub....etc. We've had to stop buying them.

Digestives.
Hob Nobs (Esp. dark chocolate - the pinnacle of biscuit technology.)
Shortbread.
Ritz crackers.
These things are therefore banned from the house, though shortbread usually appears in the Christmas presents somewhere, so constitutes crimbo breakfast.

Cadbury's Whole Nut. Pringles, not sure why, just! I don’t understand the Pringle thing either, other crisps are much nicer, but once you pop and all that. |

No one would eat Pringles if they saw them being made.
For me it’s crunchy peanut butter on whole meal bread. Two slices when I walk through the front door every evening, please.

I go with the crunchy peanut butter but on fresh salt and pepper bread, especially if still warm or warmed in the toaster. Not toasted. I stopped buying biscuits completely but pretzels do not last long either.

My downfalls are Cheesecake White Chocolate and Raspberry Cookies Dairy Milk Anything covered in Chocolate And bizarrely Chicken Kievs Don’t worry Ed, I’m in the same boat. It’s a nightmare and I know it will probably lead to type 2 diabetes at some point later in my 40’s but it’s bloody difficult to say no. I’m definitely getting better at not ordering pudding and having sparkling water instead of juice when I’m eating out and driving. Ice cream, chocolate and sweets are definitely hard to turn down for me though. |

Wouldn't make a difference. I’ve seen and smelt black pudding manufacturing and still eat it. That reminds me, I also love a decent quality pork pie. |

Cheese'n'onion square crisps.
Skittles; either the original fruity ones or, preferably the all-white ones. I can easily polish off a family bag in an evening.
As for peanut butter - work of the devil, in whatever form it comes!

Any sort of sweets or crisps.
I very rarely have them as I am under orders from the dietician re my cholesterol and statin intolerance.
Beer would be another one, but I’m fucked if I’m giving that up!

How could I forget Peanut M&Ms....my favourite chocolate snack by some margin.
Just remembered when Lindsay showed me 3 big bags she bought earlier.

I'm generally pretty self-disciplined, but I will easily eat a 150g bag of crisps in one go.

Decent cherry tomatoes. Don’t feel guilty about those.
Mint imperials...can easily scoff a bag. Do feel guilty about those.
I have a sweet tooth too.

Peanut butter M&Ms are a must-bring-back-to-UK for American visitors.

I'm generally pretty self-disciplined, but I will easily eat a 150g bag of crisps in one go. Similar here, crips I adore but I rarely have them; I went from a standard sized packet a day to maybe a packet a month, however open up a large pack of "posh" cheese and onion and I can demolish them very quickly. My biggest weakness is cheese, I love edam but rarely buy it as if I did, it would be gone in a night, I can't just have a slice, it has to be the whole lot and I also like Sainsbury's value chedder, it comes in big blocks and is very easy to eat, but TBH any cheese as long as it isn't a blue cheese will do. If I am somewehere where there is a buffet I will always head to the cheese and I will eat it until I feel grim, I'll give it a rest for a while and then go back for more. |

Peanut M&Ms. Doritos and dip as well - nacho cheese with the mild salsa is such a perfect combo.

I’m not allowed much of that either. My favourite is cambazola or a really ripe Brie. Camembert cooked in the oven with garlic bread to dip in it is a seriously guilty pleasure. |

Peanut butter and jam on toast (can't have either in the house or it's a 3 hour toast-athon until the deliciously glass jarred evil is depleted).
Ben and Jerry's (pretty much all of the proper flavours - none of this fro yo muck)
Banoffee Pie (I have to avoid the in laws for Sunday lunch as they always make a huge one that ends up being given to me).
Pistachios - Cost Co sell what can only be described as a small bucket of de-shelled, roasted and salted pistachios. I cannot buy these, I have to buy a small bag and the shells slow me down.
Tyrells vegetable crisps - annoyingly, despite being root veg, they are just as calorific and fat laden as normal crisps.
Scones with clotted cream and jam - I have this every time I drop into Grasmere on a monster lakeland trek.
Wispa bites and giant cadbury's buttons.
Sweet chilli humus
Those MS&S mini chocolate rolls they sell in tubs...
Basically - life as an ex-fat cnut is a long list of stuff I can't have in the house (otherwise it gets inhaled in minutes).
Even when I was rowing competitively - it's impossible to out train my appetite.
