    I would toss it in the trash and if she bought more, I'd toss it in the trash again. Yep, it's a waste of money....so if you don't want to trash it, give it away to a local food bank, to a friend, to a neighbor.

    My brother seems to do the same kind of thing to me all the time. Though I know, for him, it's mostly not out of meanness.

    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. Lol

    This! If she is so cruel then be cruel right back. Haha! I would put something in it that she wouldn't suspect.

    OH MY GOD. I am the same way with peanut butter!! lol
    But yes, I can see how it's incredibly frustrating to have someone do that to you.. to intentionally set you up for failure like that... smh
    Of course, the best thing you can do is prove to her how much of a strong-willed person you are. Completely unshakable!
    As Frank Sinatra once said, the best revenge is massive success (:

    The girl's got it in one... THIS!!! Good luck!

    How about if you react like an adult and label her peanut butter as hers and ignore it's existence? It's not yours. You didn't buy it. Soon your sister will see that she can't get a rise out of you over it and she'll hopefully give up.

    I think she may be trying to test you but getting upset will not do any good, Just nicely ask her to hide it from you and then both parties will be happy! :) I also love peanut butter.. too bad its sooo many calories.

    THANK YOU! I'm so glad somebody in this thread agrees with me.

    She is sabotaging you! No doubt about it. I agree with UsedToBeHusky. Label it as hers. Don't worry, she won't eat it in front of you, she doesn't really like it. Use this as a motivation to show her she can't trip you up.

    I think your sister deserves a beat down. She doesn't like pb but buys it anyway knowing your weakness. Bisch! HOWEVER, I also think you need to be the better person, be stronger then the pb, and let it go.

    I am always amazed at the amount of personal power some people are so willing to give away to others.

    I love the salt idea. put it in there so you won't eat it. She won't eat it anyway. She won't even know how you are resisting it. Another idea: I once read a story about a woman who used visualising to resist tempting foods. She would visualize the food with mold on it. Once that is in your head about the peanut butter, you won't like it. Try it, it works better than you might think.

    You really expect everyone in the household to accommodate you because you have no self control?
    Hmmm. That's not selfish. At all.

    Eat the freaking peanut butter or don't.

    It's not the end of the world.

    Just throw it in the trash, or at her head :laugh:

    I don't get the whole peanut butter thing. Peanuts and beer yes, peanut butter? NO!

    honestly.. ask her to keep it in her bedroom. i'm not even kidding. My husband has his own cabinet, which at times i have had to CONVINCE myself NOT to open. i know its full of the good stuff, but if i dont open it, i dont know whats in there and i dont want it.... i have another cabinet where the normal healthy foods are, same thing with the fridge, all the crap food is in the back or in the drawers so they arent the first thing i see. if she says no, throw that effing peanut butter into her bedroom every time you look at it and want some. just pick it up, open that btches door and huck it onto her bed, walk away and there you go, you cant GO IN HER ROOM cuz thats rude you know? win.

    Throw it away and every time she buys another one, throw it away too. See if she likes wasting money.

    Basically this.

    umm...i'm not going to mention any names, but the advice on this thread seems kinda..... awful hahahaha

    put salt in it? sabotage her? and then you have the other of you who are just kicking the OP while shes down and telling her to STFU and not eat peanut butter.

    Did we all forget how to be constructive and supportive?

    causing a sister world war III over peanut butter probably isnt the best idea.... but if thats the angle we are going with... freeze the peanut butter in the freezer.... because you have to CONSCIOUSLY take it out of the freezer, and let it thaw to eat it. too much effort. no? or you could tell your sister she lookin fat and that peanut butter making her muffin look like its fresh outta the oven.

    i got more if you need em ladies hahaha my sister is 115 pounds and 5'8'' and before i had my little girl i was the same, nothing like fat jokes at a skinny girl in the kitchen. we got creative back in the day.

    I read once that the FDA allows a certain amount of bug parts in peanut butter (and a lot of other food for that matter). So if I think about that long enough it turns me away from consuming half the jar. But usually I just eat it anyways. Hahaha. I know it sucks ro have it in front of your face but you gotta be bigger than the craving. I live 20 seconds away from a plaza that has Mcdonalds, Wendys, KFC, Subway, Texas Roadhouse and Tim Hortons. That doesn't mean I have to go there everyday.

    Yes-it was mean and spiteful, even a little passive-agressive but you can change it into a positive because of what it represents to you. Face it-you are going to encounter your triggers in everyday life in situations where you don't have control of it. The sight and smells of all those things will bombard you and challenge you daily. Tell yourself: "This peanut butter IS NOT MINE-I can't have it until I feel strong enough to control my consumption. Your sister may have had other intentions for putting it there but be the better, stronger person that you need to be for yourself. Good luck. :smile:

    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.

    This. This this this this this.

    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.

    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.

    YES! I keep forgetting that. You are right, UTBHusky. It belongs to her sister so she should just leave it alone in any case.

    Sure, this would be a logical course of action....if you're like 10 years old.

    If she ate peanut butter off of her sister's husband.....THEN maybe it might be thread-worthy.

    Your sister's peanut butter you say? Why yes, you must spray it with windex and throw it away because you are completely entitled to touch other people's stuff.
