Do you have foods that are completely off limits?

and I make many

I CAN eat whatever I want.  I have been lucky that way.  My anatomy for some reason is very tolerant to this band...so I can eat anything....BUT....I shouldn't eat a lot of things because they trigger a response in me that can only be compared to that of an addict's.  I will either eat till I'm wayyyy too full or until the item is gone. 

One of these "off limit foods" or what I like to call trigger foods...is cookies.  I love cookies.  I can't, can't have a package of cookies in my house and NOT eat them and eat them ALL!!!  It's next to impossible for me to say no to them.  To me this is addiction.  I think if you eat yourself to 350+ lbs there is some kind psychological problem there.  For me it's addiction.  What I do to avoid this is I don't bring these trigger foods into my house EVER.  Or I will buy a single serving...like at those places in the mall where you can buy one cookie.  But I never buy packages of cookies.  The same with cake or candy bars.  I just don't bring these things into my house. 

I have found healthy yummy snack that satisfies my sweet tooth (well almost).  I have this snack I make on the weekends.  I slice up a banana and put a little peanut butter on it and top it with one dark chocolate chip...then I freeze it.  It is very good. 

The only things I consider off-limits are foods that make me feel yucky after I eat them, whether it's just that I can't chew them well enough, or they swell up, or whatever.

Squid/calamari I can't do anymore, along with clam strips and giant clam sashimi. Most breads are too doughy, but toast is fine. Steak is iffy, since with my crappy teeth I can't chew it to death. Raw veggies are usually a no-go, but I can handle almost all of them cooked. 

But in terms of strictly "no-no" foods, I don't have any that I completely disallow.

There are some foods that I cannot eat in moderation ---- period.

I tried for years and just failed miserably --- so, prior to my WLS, I decided to dedicate myself to an OA program.

I made a list of trigger foods that I cannot eat moderately, and I began to abstain from them (April 1, 2009).

My list started out to be: cookies, cake, pie, donuts, candy, ice cream

Since that time, I have added a few foods, but I have not taken anything back ---- once a food gets to that list, it is 'not my food'.

I find that trying to moderate those foods gives them way too much power in my brain --- and that when they are just not an option, I have much more peace.
