What is a food you will always overeat, no matter what?

Yesterday I took a peek at what my prompt for today would be, and seeing this one made me pause and think about a larger problem I have.
I just love food in general! I have bad habits about sometimes skipping meals so I can eat a larger meal later, and then I run into problems like overeating because I forget how many calories some foods can have, or their macro nutrient balance.
However, taking a more focused look at what foods I like and which ones I really do overeat every single time? It’s probably ice cream.
See, I can’t grab a pint of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream from the store and just eat the recommended serving size. I will, without fail, eat the entire pint in a single sitting. In fact, I bought two pints of their ice cream before I went on my vacation, and they sat in the freezer for a week waiting for me. Want to know what happened? I ate them both within 24 hours of each other. One at about midnight on Christmas Eve, and the other the evening of Christmas. One of those pints, according the nutrition label, is 1,210 calories for the whole container. And I demolished it while playing Phasmophobia with my family.
Granted, this happens when I buy my own ice cream from the grocery store, but if I were out and about doing things like hanging out with friends or family and we went out to eat? I wouldn’t be getting ice cream for dessert every single time. In fact, I rarely order dessert at all when I go out to eat, so it really is just a problem for when I decide to buy a pint of ice cream to stow away in the freezer.
Mine is potato chips

I feel that!! I don’t often get chips but when I do I can totally devour a whole bag if I’m not paying attention.
