Ever plan to eat just one or two or a little of something and the next thing you know you ate a tub of frosting? When’s the last time you accidentally scarfed down the entire box, jar, bag etc. without planning it?

Couple weeks ago, with a pack of rainbow Twizzlers. I’d gotten my sense of taste fully back for the first time in forever (sinus issues which had [sadly temporarily] cleared up), and the flavour dragged me along, until there were none left…

I rarely buy cookies at the grocery store because once I open them one box becomes one serving.

I think it’s nice that Girl Scout cookies come in single-serving packages.

Peanut Butter M&Ms. Terrible things. Just terrible.

Never, because I don’t take the bag or container with me. I take the cookie, piece of candy, or handful of chips or crackers and walk away. Having to get up again to get more is than enough of a disincentive for me.

Fritos. I always finish the large bag. Just discovered Jalapeño Fritos, even more irresistible.

Potato Chips (Lays to be specific). I simply don’t keep them in the house, because the bag will be empty the day I open it.

If I bring chocolate in the house, I must eat it. The self denial starts at the store, I stand in the aisle reading labels, trying to convince my self it’s poison. Eventually I pick something and go to check out immediately. And then I have to contend with the candy bars there. It should be a law against putting candy at the check out.
Really, y’all I am out of control.
I admit it.
Isn’t that half the battle?

[Chipotle Peanuts](https://www.instacart.com/aldi/products/18261375-southern-grove-chipotle-flavored-peanuts-16-oz) from Aldi.
Wife: Didn’t I just buy a can of chipotle peanuts?
Me: It would appear you didn’t.

Cool Ranch Doritos. I can, and often do, eat an entire bag without even thinking about it.
Also the store brand salt & vinegar potato chips have become my new “snack crack”. I’ll just keep shoveling them in, even though they are making my mouth hurt something awful.

Even is Ben and Jerrys “Cherry Garcia” came in 1/2 gallons it would still be a single serving container.

Cadbury Mini Eggs. I try to buy only the small bags to limit their damage.

Dry roasted peanuts are my downfall. Since the peanut part is just a vehicle for the yummy salty coating, it’s easy to eat more than I meant to without realizing it.

I must gather my family around me if I open a box of Crunch ’ Munch because an open box of Crunch 'n Munch is an empty box of Crunch 'n Munch. Does not matter the size.

Mine used to be Peanut…then Peanut Butter…and now Caramel. I bought myself 2 packs last night (cuz you know, they’re cheaper if you buy 2) and I thought I’d have a few a day just to curb those cravings.
I ate one pack last night and foolishly opened the other today at lunch. They’ll be gone by this evening I’m sure.
I also have a weakness for grapes!! Sadly for a Type 2 diabetic, they’re just about as bad as M&M’s. sigh.
