Nancy Clark did a great article on this. She basically said that if you are having a problem with a particular food that you just can't seem to avoid, that you should instead give yourself permission to eat it. As much as you want. As often as you want. Three times a day if you want! Once you realize that you can have it anytime you want (and proceed to OD on it), it will lose it's hold over you and you'll find it much easier to avoid.

I need to do this with nuts and peanutbutter....
