Cashews are my worst downfall (especially the giant salted cashews from Costco). I also love p.b. but usually won't binge on it. I just have to make sure I measure it, or my portions get ridiculously large.

This is why I like coming to this board. Finally I've found some people that not only understand how I feel, but feel the same way!
I don't crave the no-no's, but I have trouble limiting the legal foods. Chocolate, nuts & nut butters are a serious problem for me. I could eat way way more than one serving.

I think we all get lulled into that complacent spot where it's all OK because everything you're eating is low-carb. Right? IMHO, it's dead wrong.

If you know you are attracted and addicted to certain foods, flavours or textures, the only way to stay out of trouble is to steer clear of them. I've gone through them all: nuts, whipping cream, desserts..."legal" binges of all sorts. Just one piece may lead to another or ten. And, it sucks!

What was important for me was to examine not only what I ate, but why I was eating it as well. I mean I'm quite satisfied after having a nice dinner and my tummy feels full. So why do I think I need to eat the handful of macadamias or something sweet? Hmmm...
