Nutella breakdown

So I had a bit of a breakdown this morning with a jar of Nutella. I don't often buy it, because when I do it usually results in me finishing off the jar within a few days. I was doing well the first few days with a tbsp on some toast once a day. Then it was just a jar and spoon. Then it was about 6 tbsp for breakfast this morning. Ugh. So I am throwing out what is left and going to eat lightly for the rest of the day and exercise to see if I can still reach my daily calorie goal.

    PB2 with chocolate .... yum!

    Yeah - I've learned (the hard way) I can't have rice krispie treats in the house .... they are low fat .... but seriously, when you finish the whole box in like 2 days .... sheesh!

    Ha love the title!

    I'd be the same. This might not be the right place but have you had nutella swirl cupcakes?

    Same way. I bought a jar of nutella thinking it would be perfect to cave off my chocolate fix. But, one little nibble leads to the whole jar being gone. I won't buy any more until I have more self control! So I've subbed in chocolate pudding cups...Actually eating one right now. :)

    Apparently my thing is cake. I haven't made dessert in ages, so I thought it would be nice to have some. I made it Saturday. I'm the only one in the house who likes cake. It's half gone. *hangs head in shame*

    At least you are willing to throw the nutella out and start anew. I'll continue to spend the next three days cramming that cake into my calorie goal. Oh wait, I think I see the problem... :tongue:

    Nutella is that cruel biotch that I just can't resist. You gotta go cold turkey and just break away from it. I managed to move to peanut butter and now I am looking to go to PB2.

    LMAO.. I just finished the Nutella & Go snackcup. It was delish. I usually eat one of these for lunch with my protein shake. It takes the edge off my hunger and fills me up till dinner time.

    It works for me cuz I can get my chocolate fix.

    I don't know if this helps, but I bought the Fiber one chocolate brownies to take care of my chocolate craving. 90 calories for just one. It is the right amount of sweet and chocolate for me.

    For the love of nutella, try to only get one to go pack. I found them at walmart for a dollar and since i only see one at the house i wait until i want it and not get another one until the following week. I had one for a month before i ate it:)

    Back when I was in college, there was one lad I shared a house with, keen racing cyclist who could have eaten for england, if not for the entire world. His usual trick after the sunday "club run" (call it 70-110 miles on the pushbike) was to wander into the kitchen with 4 bananas and a pot of nutella - he'd strip the foil from the jar, and put it in the microwave for a minute or two, and drink the resulting hot melted mess, pausing only to stuff bananas down his gullet. He was 5'11" tall, weighed under 140lb, and looked like he'd just been released from Belsen! Saw him a couple of years ago, he's still as thin as a stick, still riding/racing the bike, and still eating as if in preperation for the mother and father of all famines...

    There are some foods that will never step foot in my house. I think that's the best thing to do.... just don't buy them. It's way too tempting.

    So jealous! The last time I had Nutella I almost died....allergic reaction. Called 911 for myself before my throat closed shut.....was very scarey. And now they make it in BIG jars....sniff....sniff.....

    Exactly why I don't keep that in my house. I love Nutella, but I'd do the exact same thing! Especially, with chips or cookies. I have to avoid buying the sweets.

    Soooo....A jar of nutella has approx 2000 cals- almost 50/50 carbs and fat. I'm not going to lie- I believe a time will come where I knowingly choose to eat that. I know I can't buy it unless I plan on consuming the whole thing- so for now, I don't buy it. But someday, coupled with a double-digit mileage run- yeah, it's gonna happen.

    Which is why i don't buy it anymore.

    Reading about how people react to nutella on this site (including my own occasional response to it) I'm starting to think that stuff is actually addictive (in the figurative sense).

    We use it as frosting on birthday time because it just tastes so much better than frosting (I don't like frosting). Also it's so good in crepes....but so bad.

    A Facebook friend of mine recently posted a picture of himself in a store holding a 5kg (11-pound) jar of the stuff. He claims he didn't buy it...

    This is me too!! I just discovered it about a month ago after having a jar for over a month but only let my son have it on occasion...One day I just tasted it & have been hooked ever since...I eat it at least once a day (1.5tbsp)with a whole wheat tortilla and I have to have one every single day now...Love it but I gotta stop!!! :heart:
