    I have beer and peanut butter in the fridge, both of which sound really good right now. As does a spicy chicken quesadilla. I totally don't have it in my calories for all of that, and that makes me sad... and a little angry that my calories cannot adjust to my emotional needs. :grumble:

    As far as the usual suspects go........ I say just do a peep cleanse and it should solve all your peanut butter issues. :smiley:

    I hear you on a bad weekend. I had pizza and salad, which came with complimentary cinnamon rolls... then 16oz Kracken Rum and 4 pack of Pina Coloda Wine coolers in 2 hrs. Needless to say the porcelain throne and a decorative box (now trash) got the majority of the food/liquor a few hours later... but still.

    Also, I have half a jar of Jif creamy PB in the cabinet. I open it daily and look. I can only have 2 tbsp. per day because eating it right off the spoon feels guilty, and bread is just a waste of my calories unless I just HAVE to have it. :|

    Perhaps you should do a detox? ;)

    Am I going to avoid peanut butter for the rest of my life?

    I do.

    About 20 years ago, I discovered the reason why I felt so bloated and in so much pain much of the time ... peanuts and peanut butter. And peas too for that matter, although to a lesser degree.

    I used to trowel peanut butter onto a couple pieces of toast when I got home from work, and then I'd snack on peanuts all evening.

    Grrrrooooaaann .... the pain was agonising. I felt like an overfilled balloon. And the cramping ... :(

    When I finally pieced it together, with the help of an allergist, I have rarely touched peanuts and peanut butter since. And I'm OK with that. :)

    Hm, I haven't even heard of this; I figure it would be readily available because Blue Moon got bought out by Miller, but maybe some of the smaller batches are still not widely distributed.

    I do keep temptations out of my house in the beginning. Once I have a system in place to avoid them, then I keep them again.

    I hear the greatest trick Keyser Soda ever pulled was convincing the world he's not addictive.

    First day on the diet, you know what I learned? How to spot a cheat food. Let's say you cut out three foods for the same reason. You put them all in the trash overnight and cover them with dishsoap. The next morning, whichever's not there is your food of choice. You see, if you're addicted, you sneak downstairs, you wipe off the soap, you hork that **** down.

    It didn’t make sense that I’d be there. I mean, these guys were hard-core thread hijackers, but there I was. At that 2 point warning I wasn’t scared, I knew I hadn’t done anything they could do me for. Besides, it was fun. I got to make like I was notorious.

    Solid. ****ing. Gold.

    Well, I had a bad weekend. I went into it all pumped up, but I ate way too much and blew my calorie goals. Didn't even log the last part of Saturday and all of Sunday! It was the usual suspects...beer, sandwiches, peanut butter.

    I wanted to rid my house of all that stuff, but you know what? How can you overcome something if you are simply never around it? Am I going to avoid peanut butter for the rest of my life? Can a person be truly good if they never have the opportunity to be bad?

    I woke up this morning with a renewed sense of purpose and drive. I have almost half a jar of peanut butter left in my cupboard and a brand new bottle of 120 Minute IPA under my bar, and both of them are going to stay right where they are, because I can do it! The greatest trick my refrigerator ever pulled was convincing my brain that willpower doesn't exist!

    Thanks for listening, MFP. Just needed to vent.

    No you can't avoid your trigger foods, for the rest of your life; that isn't sustainable but what I do every month is, I buy 1 trigger food or 2, if I lost more than my month's goal weight. I am only 74 days into my healthy lifestyle change, so while I did consume my entire package/carton of my trigger foods in 1 day; it took me many more hours to do it each time & I didn't consume anything else Caloric besides those trigger foods, so that I didn't excessively; go over my Calorie goal. I also bank 100 Calories a day, for 1 or 2 weeks before buying it, so that I have extra Calories to spare/if I lose control & binge on my trigger foods. This seems to be helping me prolong the amount of time that I consume, those foods & hopefully someday, I'll be able to consume no more than a serving of them daily.

    See a hypnotist. Peanut butter does not taste THAT good. It is not speculaaspasta (Belgian cookiebased spread, Conquering the USA now, apparently)

    I completely misread that as see a hypotenuse. I need more coffee...
