Beefaroni - every Saturday, it seemed. My mom was not a good cook and just kinda shoved junk food at me - and it took me over 50 years to really get a grip and get healthy (food intake-wise).

Kool-aid, sugared cereal, pancakes/pancake syrup, cake, candy, pie... pretty much all of the sweets. I add some in occasionally, but so rarely as to be given up.

Fast Food (any of them)

That alone cut out 95% of the junk food I'd gravitate to like Triscuits and Wheat Thins when I wanted to comfort eat.

I don't eat sickly sweet supermarket chocolate. I'm on the hard stuff, free trade high chocolate liquor content bitter chocolate.

Diagnosed with celiac disease 3 years ago, so no wheat, barley, rye, even oats; 3 months ago, discovered allergies to dairy, soy & eggs. The pantry shelves have changed a lot!
