The pantry.  I have to make sure I watch it with the Better 'N Peanut Butter.  Never like pb much before surgery.  Now I love PB2 and Better 'N Peanut butter.  Not horrible for you but not something to over indulge in.  And I have to watch myself with some protein bars. 

Now my biggest challenge...not so much tempting now.  We are more in a wrestling match now, this bit of deliciousness.   It lives at the pizza place.  It's a trigger food and one I just can't go near.   None of that "I'll just eat the toppings" for me.  I can't even really eat bread and I will still try to eat the crust.  And then for the rest of the day...I try to eat anything I can that has a lot of carbs.  Carbs carbs carbs.

My temptation lives in the drive-through.

I'm a professional baker and candymaker by trade, and I get very self conscious when people discover what I do, because I assume they're thinking, "Ahhhhh, that makes sense. No wonder she's fat." But in reality, I don't have much of a sweet tooth, and my own work had nothing to do with my weight problem.

My temptation comes when I am tired and worn out at the end of the day, and cooking seems like an insurmountable task. Or when I've spent all day working, and my kitchen's a mess, and it's easier to order takeout. Convenience fast foods are my biggest hurdle, and they're my biggest downfall. When I cook at home, it's always healthy, because I'm cooking for my kids as well. But when my energy flags and I don't have it in me to put together something myself, I always turn to the quick junk.

Mine lives in the pantry---anything salty and crunchy . . . I can't be trusted about anything in the snack food category. They are usually just not brought into the house. I truly believe my thighs are made up entirely of goldfish crackers--those little suckers go down like butta' by the handful.

I have terrible sinus infection and am on the second round of antibiotics. I can only taste sweet and salty. Soooo my grandaughters m&m's are now gone. Before that I had just gotten my salty crunchy under control. My temptations live wherever people leave them, Karen

Mine lives in the kitchen as a whole--I love to cook and I love my own cooking. Oh how I miss the delicious meals I used to make!

When I read your title, my first thought was his name is Jon Bon Jovi, he lives in New Jersey.

But to address your actual question, mine lives in the freezer. Love pizza rolls, mozz sticks, burritos, all those frozen, eat to cook comfort type foods.
