Could not believe what my sister did...

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?

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 is good. it's ridiculous that she would spend money on something she doesn't like, even if you hadn't discussed with her why you don't want it in the house. just tell yourself it's not yours, so you can't eat it anyway. when it's still there 6 months later unopened, she'll feel like a fool.

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:(

Maybe give it a time frame---if she hasn't opened the jar in 2 weeks, maybe throw it out? Maybe by that point, you won't even have to. Look at it as a challenge to you- you know it's a weakness, and see how long you can stay away from it

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

^^ Agree.

Donate it to a food pantry or give it to a neighbor.

I too see the frustration in that. She's your sister for god's sake! I love PB. BUT I've been using PB2 which is a lot better than the 190 cals in 2tbs! It's not to bad either! I would take the peanut butter and freaking throw it at her. She's jealous of you! AND wants you to fail, which is horrible..

It's defintiely an attempt to sabotage you, but I'd let her know how much you appreciate her getting that brand new jar and how sorry you are that you double dipped the knife/spoon in there after licking it off after the first few scoops:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Sometimes I have a spoonful of peanut butter to get that big hit of fat macros in

Donate it to a food pantry or give it to a neighbor.

Best idea. I was thinking the very same thing.

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.

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

Tell her the little Peanut Butter Troll comes through at night and must be chucking it.....SHADY!!!!

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.

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*.

Since she loves it so much, smear it all over her pillow then replace the pillow case :laugh: :drinker: :flowerforyou:

Please tell your sister "Thank You" for giving us fodder for such an entertaining thread. Then go out and purchase your very own jar of your favorite peanut butter, label it clearly with your name, and then whether you eat it or not, it will be your decision. You are in control. Enjoy the Journey!
