Do you have foods that are completely off limits?

I go back and forth on this issue. On the one hand, I think "I am a food addict and as such need to obstain from high fat, high sugar foods". On the other, I think, I need learn to eat certain foods in very strict moderation, that is limited amounts and not very often. That way, I won't feel deprived. The obstainance seems to be working as of late. I have introduced healthy carbs and that seems to be going a long way to keeping me feel fuller longer and not feel deprived. What do you do?

99% off limits: pasta, bread, salads, many veggies and most fruits.

Any bread except for Sandwich Thins. Those I can eat 1/2 of but keep it to rarely. Candy bars. I remember when they would be on sale and I would but 8 or 9 a day and eat them all. Fresh bakery sweet rolls. Even the smell of them entices me. I haven't been able to eat more than a few bites since I was first banded, but I am known to give them a try. Anything "yeasty" is a problem for me, whether in taste or smell, and I stay away except for the previously mentioned trigger.

I used to go to open AA meetings with my hubby and heard something that stuck, "One is never enough and 100 is never too many".

I remember a similar AA slogan- one is too many and a thousand is never enough. Stuck with me too. I got caught up a while back (have since changed my ways) of buying crap that was buy one get one free. Things like candy and cookies. Crazy!
