Could not believe what my sister did...

Piss in it! Put dish soap in it! Put coconut oil in it and super glue it! Hell, why not eat all of it and then take a crap in the jar?
Some of you are seriously ****ing mental about food.
It's a trigger food. I don't know why there are so many claims of orthorexia in this thread. She's the only one in the house that eats it and it is the only food she can't control herself with. She never said she would never eat it again or that it was the devil of foods but that she lacks self control around it.
I know how she feels. I rarely bake cookies anymore because my self control is crappy around my favorite ones (oatmeal scotchies). Instead of forcing myself to endure unnecessary willpower issues, I simply don't add them into the equation most of the time.
Will I never eat those cookies again? Heck no! I love them and I'll indulge in them from time to time, just like I do with fast food, alcohol and everything else I love but I'm not going to needlessly torture myself over something that's hard for me to control.
It's common sense not being mental about food.0 -

I'm pretty sure the poster was referring to the suggestions in this thread and not the OP.0 -
Yeah, tell that girl to get out from under your roof! Oh...wait...you live with your parents and have to share space which means you likely need to share food too. MOVE OUT NOW!!!0

Judging from this thread 80% of this community has a terrible relationship with food!!!!!!!
I can't believe someone is so upset over peanut butter.
first world problems!
Yeah seriously... but the thing that bugs me are all of the truly immature suggestions offered up for dealing with this situation. The only true answer is to repress your compulsion to eat the damn peanut butter.
Any and every other action, including donating the peanut butter to a food bank, is going to lead to an unneccessary argument over peanut butter.

Eating a tablespoon or two of peanut butter does not qualify as a "trigger food".
I was referring to the folks telling her to piss and put dish soap and salt in the peanut butter.0 -

Agreed and understood. I was one person that suggested adding baking powder to it. People suggesting making it uneatable (something that will only affect the OP since she's the only one that would ever eat it) is removing that trigger food from the equation. It was advised in an attempt to keep her sister from ruining her weight loss progress, not because anyone hates peanut butter.0 -

Part of her original post:About a week ago, I realized how much of a trigger food peanut butter is for me. I can't eat it in moderation, and it was causing me to eat wayyy more than I should have been. So, knowing that I'm the only one in my household who even likes peanut butter, I decided it was my choice whether or not it would be kept in the house.
A tablespoon or two would be moderation which she clearly says she's incapable of accomplishing. Making it uneatable would solve her inability to moderate her intake of this food.0 -
It doesn't really matter why she bought it. The point is she did buy it. It's HER peanut butter. Just keep reminding yourself of that fact. It's not your food or family food. It's her personal jar so it's off limits. You can always shove it to the back of a cabinet somewhere where it'll get covered by other things.
Agree! She didn't buy it FOR you. You stated you didn't want to eat it, so don't.0 -
I really just need to get this off of my chest...
About a week ago, I realized how much of a trigger food peanut butter is for me. I can't eat it in moderation, and it was causing me to eat wayyy more than I should have been. So, knowing that I'm the only one in my household who even likes peanut butter, I decided it was my choice whether or not it would be kept in the house.
So I told my sister about how I was going to give it up, and she agreed. She even mentioned that it was gross that I ate it by the spoonful, and proceeded to state that she "HATES peanut butter".
And here's what troubles me....approximately 4 days of being peanut butter free, I opened a cabinet to find a brand spanking new jar of it. When I questioned everyone why there was peanut butter in the house, my sister told me that "I don't control what everyone else eats" and that she really likes peanut butter and "I can't take it away".
I can't believe she would intentionally stock the house with my ONE and ONLY trigger food. I mean...really? She's never been supportive of my lifestyle, and it just feels like she really wants me to fail:frown:
I'd toss it and play dumb just like she did. Maybe she will see how irritating passive aggressive behavior is when she gets a taste of her own medicine.0 -
My entire family does this to me CONSTANTLY. My mom will buy a handful of candy bars knowing that they are my favorite. It takes my dad all week to eat them all so I have to stare at them every time I enter the kitchen. She also buys my favorite cookies and pastries, and pretty much any other snack I've asked her not to buy. Truth is you CAN'T control what other people do, so you have to suck it up and gain more self control.0
-
Sounds like she is jealous to me....she wants to stop you from being successful.....i would just try to ignore it and DONT give in...then you will be giving in to her tactics....if all else fails you could always hide it somewhere you wont see or think about it or throw it away

I confess... I went and got me some peanut butter and now I'm eating it off the spoon.
OP's sister is sabotaging me even!0 -

hehehe
My housemates buy cookies KNOWING I LIKE COOKIES and leave them on the TABLE!! They are HORRIBLE!!!
Horrible horrible people!
My son demands that I buy him ice cream KNOWNG I LIKE ICE CREAM! I am going to poop in it! Just to spite him!!!
....Not.
If you are this upset about food, you need therapy.0 -
Smother it all over your body lol by the time your done i promise both of you wont ever want to eat it again. (Kidding)
Honestly id throw it out of the house, everytime id toss it if she didnt like it she can keep it in her room.0 -
put it where you can't reach it. Works for me when my boyfriend buys cookies0
-
Ask her if she can keep it in her room so you don't see it.0
-
Don't open it so you won't be tempted to eat it.0
-
Don't eat it! Attach a label that says "Poop" on it. Anything to make you not want it.
My husband got Outback today and I found a meal within my calorie budget. He's aware of my new lifestyle and supports it. However, I wasn't there when he ordered and when asked if he'd like it add something to my mashed potatoes, he decided cheddar cheese and bacon was the way to go.
Was I mad? No. I still find it funny he thought that somehow cheese and bacon was something I needed.
Anyway, the point is it wasn't intentional and didn't ruin my day/week.
As for your sister, she may or may not be testing you for the fun of it. But screw her. Pass up the peanut butter. It's not a big deal.
That is totally something my husband would do. He's guilty of the ceasar salad "because you are trying to eat better"
The man DROWNS his salad in olive oil. oh well, it's his body, not mine0 -
my husband used to hide his beer in the fridge in the RV for that reason. I think there is more to it than she wants peanut butter. I think she;s jealous that you are succeeding at making changes and she isn't?Ask her if she can keep it in her room so you don't see it.
i would ask her to hide it in her room, but i doubt she will, this sounds like rebellion to me.
sorry you're sister is immature.0 -
Throw it away again. She's clearly doing it just to get a rise out of you. Fight back. Keep throwing it in the trash if she buys more.
Clearly?? How is that clear, cuz I dont get it..
Not only that, but how does anyone not get the idea that this is the sister's peanut butter. Can I come over your house and randomly throw crap out just because?
The OP said her sister was the one who wanted the peanut butter, not that she bought it. I wonder if the sister really bought it or if by her sister got peanut butter she meant the sister picked it out and put it in mom or dad's shopping cart. In that case, throwing it out isn't going to affect the sister anyway.
To clarify I am clearly in the don't waste food and throwing it away is silly.
ETA - I also realize how silly this entire thread is but I'm sitting in the car waiting for hubby. Gotta pass the time somehow
It doesn't matter whether the sister likes peanut butter or not or whether or not she bought it or the parents. If the PB comes up missing, the sister is going to say that she wanted it and clearly stated that she wanted it. Boundaries will have been crossed and arguments will ensue.
And if the parents did pay for the peanut butter, then it is technically 'their' peanut butter, therefore, the OP has no right to do anything with it other than eat it or ignore it.
It's time for a couple of girls to get a time out and go to their rooms.
Amen guy with the great pic!0 -
Okay so go dump all the peanut butter out, spray pain the inside of the jar brown and put it back in the cupboard. This way when she keeps checking to see if it's still there, it is and she doesn't buy more.
Better yet. Just don't eat it, and actually fix whatever the hell it was that has you and your sister at each other like this.
Perfect answer.0 -
It's weird how some people are freaking out about this. Haha. It's not like the OP said this was the worst thing to ever happen to her and, like, OMG she's having a meltdown. She is just complaining a little bit, which I think people have the right to do, especially on a fitness site. It helps to ***** and whine a little here and there. Calm down there, killers. It's only a little post about peanut butter.0
-
Just throw it away.0
-
Find the most unflattering photo of your sister, and tape it to the jar. So whenever you feel that urge to eat PB, she'll be staring at you.0
-
My question is why you would confide in someone that you know is not supportive?
Throw the PB away and get yourself some powdered PB (PB2, Just Great Stuff, etc)0 -
The world is full of jars of peanut butter.0
-
I'd like to thank all of you who gave me some great, encouraging advice:) I'm planning on showing her who's boss and not even touching that jar haha
And to all of those who made a complete joke about this thread, I wasn't trying to make this out to be some horrendous crime..I just needed to vent. There's no need to make fun of me when all I'm trying to do is better myself:)0 -
Peanut butter is actually a great protein I have in my diet. Just buy the all natural nothing added. She can have the crappy full of sugar one and when you feel the urge, have a spoon of yours. Or if her jar is unopened, take it to the food bank.0
