That is how you stop yourself from eating there. I usually have to have something to drink while I am in the car. The only time I really feel like I need food too is if it is a long road trip.
Yes, the trunk has become my new best friend. All food and drink is stored in there until I can sit down and enjoy every bite. Mindless eating is where the calorie bombs start coming into play.

I loooove peanut butter. I never used to care, but because my husband is severely allergic, I only get to eat peanut stuff when I go away overnight without him or he goes without me. I'm afraid to eat it and then see him right away, even if I brush my teeth and wash my hands and stuff, because it's such a bad allergy. So now I eat ALL the peanut butter whenever I actually can. I have a picture of me (used it for my FitBit profile) that I took in the car on the way to a camping trip without him where I am eating from a jar of peanut butter using the foil seal as a spoon. No shame. I carried that jar around all weekend in a neon fanny pack (sorry Brits, "bum bag").
You are my favorite person. I have an unhealthy obsession with nut butters (peanut, cashew, macadamia, almond). I usually make my own, but I will bust out some Jif in a second. I have to hide a jar or I will walk around eating out of it.
I love ALL PB flavored things.0 -

It's okay. I'm kinda used to it, we're sort of the outcasts of the family, so it's not like we're going to get much love anyway. It's usually that we're overreacting, she's just a bad kid, or it's our fault because we don't "expose" her enough, and (my favorite) we don't discipline (aka spank) her enough and that's why she's the way she is. Everyone wants to ignore the multiple doctors that have said explicitly that something is wrong, and blame us for her problems. I've dealt with a lot of bs from his family over the years, and nothing short of us ending our marriage (which is NOT happening!) is going to ever make it better. So, I just try to ignore it and move on.
True story: I no longer see or speak to my in-laws. Worthless pieces of failure to understand....yes, I thought better of typing something else.

Normally I'm all about the sweets but I have to confess that I'm just not into peanut butter flavoured things.
Although I like peanut butter itself and Reese's peanut butter anything (except the ice cream), I've always hated peanut butter cookies and don't eat anything else made with peanut butter, even *gasp* cheesecake... and cheesecake has to be one of my most favourite things ever.
My issue with peanut butter desserts is that it's almost always a chocolate-peanut butter something or another. I fixed this for myself by making incredible peanut butter cookies (the kind designed for Hershey Kisses), and making little wells in them instead for jam.
Also, we have a local place that comes to our farmer's market with homemade peanut butter. They have a CAPPUCINO one that's incredible. Bunch of other flavors too, but I stopped paying attention after coffee.

I'm so sorry. I think family can sometimes be the worst. I get it with my oldest. He is a very sensitive, energetic, high-spirited kid. I jokingly call him "Problem Child" (anyone remember those movies? and no I don't say it to his face lol) because he has bright red hair and he gets into EVERYthing. The best way to deal with him is a firm hand (not spanking, I just mean not letting him get away with anything), firm voice, consistency, etc. My mother thinks I'm a horrible mother because I do not baby or coddle her perfect little angel boy and she is NOT shy about letting me know I'm too hard on him. Um no, I'm not. I just will not let a 3.5 yr old run the house. He knows we love him and he is extremely attached to me, insists *I* drop him off at daycare/help him with the bathroom/make his dinner, etc., so I must be an ok mom, but she never stops going on and on about how he needs more love.
I can't imagine trying to deal with people who don't understand her SPD. *hugs* DH's family has a lot of Asperger's (which I know they don't consider a diagnosis anymore), SPD, Spectrum, etc.0 -

Same! I was never crazy for it until about 2 years ago. Now it's just a dangerous thing for me to be near...I have definitely killed an entire jar in one day...more than once!

@raelynnsmama52512, I am so sorry! As if it's not hard enough to be dealing with all of the emotional and financial stuff that goes along with everything...now to have an unsupportive family? Jeez!! Hug, hugs, and more hugs!!0

I make it through most of a jar in one day once a year and no shame, haha. It's totally worth it.
What I really miss is pad Thai though, as it's not the same without peanut oil and peanut garnish. And we have almond butter but it doesn't tempt me at all.
@raelynnsmama52512, I cannot imagine how tough it must be to have a kid with special needs and zero support from your family. You are a strong woman and a great mother, no matter what less understanding family members might think.

We also have SPD and ADHD and anxiety in his family too, which is why I don't understand why they don't want to be supportive.0 -

Today, I am tempting fate. I ordered a chili-cheese baked potato for lunch even though I am wearing white pants and a black and white top.
Danger is your middle name?

Did you guys force the sync? I do it that way all the time.0

Agreed. I think you sound like a wonderful mother who obviously wants the best for your lovely daughter. I'm sorry your family members aren't more supportive.

This x 1000. We have cousins who have a special needs child and everyone is so supportive, on both sides of their family. I can't even imagine dealing with all of that without support. I believe you are doing everything right!! and I for one hope you keep venting and keeping us updated.0 -
I confess I can't help but giggle as I watch my neighbor through the window as he scrapes his shoe on the pavement and grass. I'm assuming he stepped in dog poo. I shouldn't laugh because it's the worst when that happens...and I'll probably jinx myself and step in some later while out walking;
Due to all this peanut butter talk, I'm now craving some. Has anyone ever made peanut butter cookies using the recipe of just pb, egg, and sugar? I think it's one cup pb, one egg, and one cup sugar? Also, if so..how long and what temperature..and are they good?0 -

Hairy monkey here, too! *raises hand* I'm way lazy when it comes to shaving, and my husband doesn't care--he's always said that he doesn't see why women are expected to shave/wear make up/do hair removal and eyebrow plucking/etc., so he really doesn't care one way or another whether I look like a gorilla...
As he put it, as long as areas that need to be shaved for hygiene reasons are shaved, legs and arms and such can be as hairy as can be.
I am too. Like I said, I'm Italian so I am naturally hairy. I have really hairy arms and I'm not going to change it for someone who doesn't like it. I'll live with it.

That stinks. I get it, though. I think a part of it is generational.
My daughter dealing with panic/anxiety and depression is because she doesn't get up and get out more. OK. So, she has social anxiety, the cure is to do the thing that causes the panic attacks? Meh, whatever.
Keep doing what you have to do and vent and talk all you want here...0 -

My MIL, when discussing why my husband's ex was actively doing several things to turn her kids against their father, said, "I'm sure she has a reason". I've wanted nothing to do with the woman ever since then.
Yes, she has a reason. She is a hose beast.0 -

Mmmm I make my own peanut sauce (the Paleo cookbooks I have call it Sunshine sauce but it's Peanut Sauce, although it's good with Macadamia butter, too) and make my own Pad Thai when I'm not being lazy... OMG so good!0 -

All the time. Love them . Better with brown sugar. 350 F 9 minutes. You're welcome.
ETA: I apologize for enabling the peanut butter baking on a diet forum.

I wonder if it would work with Splenda brown sugar? Anyone tried that?0 -
The two things that bother me the most, too! The Joker getting a ''damaged'' tattoo, really? They made him into some emo teenage gangster or something. I think the movie is going to be really fun, though... so I need to hold back on judging. I think Jared Leto will do a great job (I hope).
i am giddy excited for suicide squad!
i like the way jared leto looks, the only things that bother me are the "damaged" tattoo on his forehead and that gold grill. but i still think the movie is going to be fantastic

Ooooh the rage I get when my cell phone GPS drops out while I am out recording a long bike ride. If it was a device instead of an app on my phone I probably would have smashed it on the ground by now. Healthy, I know.
