    Slave to the crave - foods you CANNOT give up?
    As summer is rapidly approaching, I want to try to gradually improve my diet and shape up.

    Maybe I'm just an abnormally weak-willed person, but there are certain foods which I have tried, and miserably failed, to give up over the years. I just can't resist if offered them.

    So, what are your food demons that are simply too irresistible to contemplate a life without? My top five are:

    Reese's Peanut Butter cups :adore:

    Cheesecake. Any sort or flavour.

    Crisps. Addictive little blighters.

    Krave cereal. Here choccy choccy...

    Raspberry and cream filled doughnuts. Heart attack on a plate. :nurse:

    Fried chicken. I think about it so much and every time I have it, I am already planning the next time I will have it.

    Nutella.

    I could sit and eat a whole jar with a spoon quite easily in one night.

    These were mine. But I'm currently giving them up for Lent and I haven't cracked yet!!!


    My biscuit consumption has probably risen dramatically though :sad: :getmecoat:

    Kids' cereals, the more chocolate/ sugar the better. Actually, just sugary and chocolate-y things in general...

    Jelly beans and wine gums. Actually, most chewy sweets. And bread, I love bread. I wouldn't say i'm addicted to them, but if we ever have grapes in the house, i could quite easily eat the whole bag/punnet (i think that's what it's called) of them.

    Eggs, they don't seem to be very popular for some reason but I love them. Fried, poached, scrambled, boiled, in an omlette...I could go on. I could probably eat an entire box of six in one day.
