Could not believe what my sister did...

Open it and put something revolting in it that isn't visable to her, you'll know its contaminated, but she won't. If she eats it, serves her right!
Thinking maybe to mix it with a bit of fish oil or something. Knowing its in there will make it a no go for you.
If she doesn't like it and has no intention of eating it she won't ever know what you've done.
Love sibling rivalry, I used to clean toilet with my older sister's toothbrush when she was mean to me.
wait...what? are you my little sister?0 -
1) Over eating is wasting the food just the same as throwing it away. If you have to throw it away to prevent yourself from over eating then do it. It is the better of the two choices.
2) You know your sister better than anyone else here. Trust your gut. You know if she was being insensitive or sabotaging you. Take time to think about her actions before you react and when you do react do so in a respectful way. She is your sister and you love her but that doesn't mean that you can't stand up for yourself.
3) Your reaction to trigger foods is a valid one. Not everyone has this reaction and some people are just to narrow minded to understand that someone is different than them. Don't listen to the people that say "So what don't eat it. No big deal." It is a big deal for you and that is what counts. Your feelings and needs are valid even if they are not understood or validated by everyone around you.
Hm? Can I change my answer to this?0 -
Superglue the lid on but continue to grouch about how it's making your life really difficult while she's around. But when she's not around LAUGH LIKE A SUPERVILLAIN0

I live with my fiance and his son (on the weekends) and they are both the kind of guys who can eat whatever whenever and it doesn't phase their weight. In fact, my fiance actually wants to gain weight so creating healthy meals that can meet both of our needs can be challenging. I don't ask them to keep things out of the house that i may not be able to eat because that isn't fair to them. I exert self control because let's face it... The world out there is filled with junk that I wouldn't dream of eating but that doesn't mean that other people have to make that choice or should be forced to. Just reach down inside you and grip up your self control.
Could be that it is a spite thing as some suggest, since you just had that conversation with her. If that is the case, you should address that with her. The argument over should the peanut butter stay or should it go is a moot point if the cause is an underlying issue of jealousy or something else between you two.
Or you could rise above the peanut butter and not let it have control over your goals.
Best of luck0 -
Hmmm... I'm guessing you are the older sister because that does totally sound like something I might have done once upon a time to my older and oh so perfect sister.
Move the peanut butter to a cabinet where you do not stash most of your food. But before you close the door, reach in super fast, screw off the lid and spit a loogie into the jar then screw the lid back on tightly. The jar is now off limits to you and hopefully not tempting!

Lock it up in a lunch bag and give her the key0

Diaper, Decoy, Donate, DanceDance, D!ck Move:
Diaper: Once I went to a baby shower where candy bars were mushed into diapers and you had to guess what kind it was. You were allowed to taste but to me that was gross and cheating. Smear peanut butter on a diaper ONE TIME and I guarantee it will be less appealing. If you don't have diapers or babies in the house, smear it on your sisters panties.
Decoy: Spoon out all but a thin layer of the peanut butter so it looks full. Then superglue the lid back on and coat it with coconut oil. If she ever wants to actually eat something she claimed to "hate" good luck getting past the oil, then the superglue, then by the time she reaches the empty jar she'll be postal.
Donate: I was gonna say throw it away but I like Nikilis and don't want to give him an eye twitch, so when you spoon out all the peanut butter, make sandwiches. Use it all up. Then go to a local food shelter, or church and donate all the sandwiches. I once saw a kid on "secret millionaire" prepare and hand out peanut butter sandwiches at his local park where all the homeless people hung out. I worried for his safety but his mom and the camera crew were with him, but I see no reason why you couldn't take them to a food donating serving place. (uh, oh you can tell I'm not familiar with this kind of charitable thing, lingo's all wrong). Anyway, it will be fun will probably only cost you ONE time of accidentally eating peanut butter while making the sandwiches and then the jar sitting in the back of the cabinet appearing full will probably be ignored by her if she actually "hates" it. (the whole process might help you get out of your problems a little bit too.)
DanceDance: Invite your friends, cousins, neighbors, team, classmates, or even HER friends over for a dance party and these are the appetizers and party favors.
D!ck Move: Fit it into your macros. Like a serving spoon sized amount everyday! Not the tablespoon, the big spoon! And make sure to eat it when she's home.

Even if you ate at the lowest suggested MFP levels which for your height and age should probably be quite a bit more, this would leave you with around 900 calories for the other 2 meals of the day. Just call it breakfast, or lunch, or whatever time you ate it. And everytime she finds you on the couch all "thanks sis!"
day after day after day, she'll be seething. (just make sure you measure what size your big spoon actually fits so you know how many cals you're actually getting. But yeah the big spoon for dramatic effect. And when you are still hitting your weight loss/maintenance/fitness goals it will crush her.)
p.s. I had a jealous sister too, and one time came home from shopping with the whole family in the car to see my training bra hanging in the big picture window of our living room where the christmas tree usually gets displayed. she nearly wet her pants laughing in the back seat while I nearly wet my shirt crying in the front. sisterness can be brutal. we are grown ups now and are friends. barely. for the sake of our kids mostly, who are of course cousins and LOVE each other. most recently she posted the fattest picture of me she could find on facebook at the end of a long swimming day with my hair a mess and overly tanned/burnt eating/making s'mores with the kids. when she could have just as easily posted a pretty face shot from a wedding we'd recently attended with full hair and make up and a flattering low neckline dress. *smh*.

Why are people getting so angry over the idea of wasting food? Eating it when you don't need it is JUST as much of a waste. I grew up in a "clean your plate" family. But what's the difference whether the extra food goes in the trash or is carried around on your body?
Yeah, because I'm sure there is no other possible solution. You have to eat it or throw it away, not give it away to a food bank so a family that can't afford food can benefit from it. Nope, no other solution.0 -

I would agree with this... IF it were the OP's peanut butter. But it's not... it's her sisters. Doing anything with it is crossing a boundary. Granted, the sister wants her to cross that boundary, but if she does it will lead to an argument and her sister will win the power struggle. The best thing to do is just let it sit there.0 -

Throw it away and every time she buys another one, throw it away too. See if she likes wasting money.
This. She said she hates it. Toss it or give it to a food bank.0 -
Pour tons of salt in it to make it taste nasty so she cant eat it and u wont want to eat it. Cant do much about her jealousy tho. But since she is sabotaging u then sabotage her food. Lol0

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:
Throw it away every time you see it. If she wants to keep spending the money to buy a new jar, let her.0 -

I had a teacher in college who did this with the remains that his neighbors dogs were constantly leaving on his lawn despite his asking multiple times for said neighbors to control them.
Husband was a lawyer. He took great joy in watching him instinctively wipe the dog**** all over his suit to get it off his hands.
He took greater joy in relating the story. The lesson: The only thing better than revenge is telling others how you got revenge.0 -
Tell your sister to keep the peanut butter in her room.0

this.... is exactly what i would do (knowing that she doenst like it and just has it to tempt me ). I am just as evil.0 -
If the jar has not been opened, donate it to a food bank!0
-
I give up! No keeping the peace here... no fostering of sibling relationships here.
Yes, OP... go ahead and get rid of your sister's food since you have a problem with it. That will really help you with your relationship with your sister and your relationship with food. [/sarcasm]
I expect you will be posting a thread next month about apartment-hunting.0 -
All this agitation over a JAR OF PEANUT BUTTER. Quoting Abraham Lincoln, "First world problems, yo."0
-
You know you shouldn't insult her over being upset about this. Dieting is a struggle and we have no idea what other issues or stresses could be happening in her life. The peanut butter issue, after having just discussed it with someone who should be supporting her, could have just been the straw that broke the camel's back. I would just throw that whole damn jar out and say if you can't respect my journey right now then I will fix the problem myself.0

Unfortunately you can't control what other people do. It's all on you. I have the same issue. Out of a household of 4 people I'm the only one who decided to eat clean (again) and I'm surrounded by fried food, pasta, rice (every day), cookies, and chips. The chips are mine but I eat it sparingly. I am a sugar addict and normally would eat half a bag of chips ahoy or oreos in one sitting.
You know what gets me through not eating it... guilt. My persistence to stay on my diet and clean myself up far outweights the 10 minute happiness then hours of guilt for eating cookies. I don't like making myself feel guilty. So in the end, the avoidance of self-guilt outweights my craving for cookies.0 -
It's just super annoying that I know for a fact she doesn't like it, and probably won't eat it. I don't plan on eating it, but knowing it's there is just taunting me:(
Tell her that if she wants PB, to please keep it in her room. Otherwise, she risks you eating it all up! (And then if she doesn't, maybe hide it somewhere and when she asks, tell her you warned her that you can't stay away from it and "so sorry" but it's gone … let her think you gobbled it down). If she really wants PB then she'll learn to keep it out of your sight, and if she's just trying to sabotage you, and puts another jar in the cupboard, donate it to the food pantry before it's opened. Keep doing that.
OK, yep, I'm mean. But I've been around enough manipulative people. This gives her a chance, if she really wants to have PB available, to have it for her, but where it isn't taunting you. And it calls her on her crap if she's just trying to make it hard on you.0 -
I know that it is tempting but just try your best to stay away from it...... I mean in reality I think if you want better you would do better... For example, I love water but may have a soda every once and a while. My Wife hates water , but only drinks pop. We have a personal refrigerator stocked full of soda in our bedroom... The point is if you see yourself making progress well keep going. You can overcome your food triggers. Its not that easy but you can try!!!!

Pee in it so you won't eat it. She "hates" it so won't eat it, and if she does to spite you, well -- that's her problem lol0

You could maybe ask her why she bought it if she does not like it?0

Throw the damn jar out!0
