Out of sight, out of mind. It's the only thing that works for me.

My wife has the ability to have a pantry stocked full of treats and never eat them. I on the other hand have zero willpower in such cases. A pack of oreos will be destroyed in 24 hours, 1 or 2 innocent cookies at a time. Same with chips. These foods just completely break my brain.

Yet if I simply don't have those things in the house, I have no cravings for them at all.

Sugary candy is mostly something I can leave alone indefinitely, but baked goods and snack food disapper all to quickly.

I have had some luck with using food chemistry in my favor recently though of salting vegetables with MSG to make them more appealling.

They also probably have fat and I think that makes them have a synergy that neither fat nor sugar have separately for -some- human brains, including mine. I can have skittles in the cupboard for months. But chocolate chip cookies, even cheap store ones? They aren’t gonna last, so I simply don’t buy them. I depend on the occasional friend dumping a couple on me, but otherwise try to keep them many miles from me.
