    I see that you took my advice on switching to the Lotus brand of cookie butter, Tami! ;) How do you like it now that you've switched brands? :smiley:

    I've never bought cookie butter before, so I have nothing to compare it to. But it is delicious. I know, because I dipped two of the cookies in it and ate them. ;)

    Odd, I thought it was you in the dirty eaters thread who said you tried the Trader Joe's brand and thought it was grainy. Now I'm wondering who that was!

    Nope. I've never been in a Trader Joe's in my life.

    I second this! They aren't as froofy as some places, and they have some really neat-o stuff. Like they're the ONLY place I can get unsalted tortilla chips. I'm not really a salty food fan - I find regular chips far too salty. And if I want lightly salted, then I just mix them with regular chips and it's perfect!

    I don't even know where the nearest Trader Joe's is.

    Oh, boy, it's gonna be a long day. There is no common sense in my office this morning. And I am on Planet Distracted. I have typed "2108" as the year 3-4 times this morning.

    I do. A couple of blocks from work. I'm afraid if I go in there, I'll be addicted. :p

    Yes, Yes you will be. My closest is 1:30 or so away. I go about every 2 months and leave looking like a hoarder.

    Me too! Plus my daughter is in town from college until Friday, so it's a huge time suck (in a good way). It interferes with my MFP social time, but it's all good.

    There's a few things I can only find at Trader Joe's, and there's one not far from me. I don't go nutso about it, but it is handy for some unique items.

    I've never had any cookie butter of any kind. :(

    I had to look. The nearest Trader Joe's is in Asheville NC, 65 miles give or take. I think I see a field trip in my future because there's a chocolatier on Asheville with an awesome GF cheesecake and a Mast General Store and a great farmer's co-op.

    That looks amazing, Tami!

    You know what else is amazing? Cool Whip Mix-ins Oreo flavor! I got a tub of it yesterday. There was no stopping once I tried it. I ate the entire thing like it was ice cream. B)

    I need this!

    I guess because I've never been one to cook for myself Trader Joe's doesn't really do anything for me. We have one near the barn.

    I never heard of cookie butter. But I saw an ad for avocado butter the other day. It's vegan. I want to try it!

    ETA: what is the dirty eaters thread?

    We're having a heat wave by British standards and I would happily eat my own body weight in ice cream. Instead I'm alternating real ice cream with blitzed frozen bananas and raspberries. Surprisingly good and the toddler genuinely believes it's ice cream. Win!

    It's been super hot here too.

    Two days ago, I ordered this dress from JCP. It was $33. I was looking on JCPs site today and it's on sale for $15.99.

    I call customer service. Tell the woman I want the sale price. She says that if it's been more than 10 minutes since I ordered, she can't do anything. I'll have to return it and buy another one at the sale price.

    While I talking on the phone with her, one of those little customer service text boxes pops up on the JPC website, offering to help me with anything. I decide, what the heck, and type in that I would like the sale price and give the order number. I immediately get a response back saying, "Absolutely. I am refunding your $17.01 right now." I tell the texting person what happened with the phone person and text person says that isn't right, they always price match.

    I'm glad I didn't give up with just the phone call, but what a bunch of *kitten*.

    The dress is super cute.

    I feel your pain. I got much the same from my family. It feels much like being thrown under the bus psycologically.

    Really though it is no one bisiness but your own. There will always be some lost soul that will take it on to themselves to inform you that you are something other than what you are suppose to be. Don’t let them bother you, they are just tourist in the making if your life.

    Besides your whole life does not revolve around what weight you are.

    Here are some mile stones other than weight you can be proud of
    Are you stronger
    Are you healthyer
    Do you have better endurance
    Are you intelligent
    Are you kind
    Are you a positive influence in others lives

    I am sure there are many great qualities you possess. Don’t let anyone put you in a box.

    Excellent advice Wendy. My family is also like this. I've learned not to expect anything from them. Although I am always still disappointed.

    Is it a sharky day, @raymax4? 🙂

    The shark always makes me smile.

    I have eaten SO MUCH food in the past 2 days for my birthday! (Just dinners and desserts..all other meal were normal)
    Yesterday, I had 8 (!) slices of deep dish veggie pizza, fries, and a pb cup dessert topped with ice cream and whipped cream. Then got home and had more ice cream!
    Tonight, I shared buffalo fries with blue cheese dipping sauce and fried pickles with a delicious dipping sauce. Then I had a HUGE veggie burger (the most delicious thing ever!) and sweet potato wedge fries...I ate half and brought the rest home. Then for dessert, I had the biggest chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich known to man. Like seriously massive!
    It was all so good, but I'm ready to get back to normal eating tomorrow...other than the second half to tonight's dinner.

    Happy belated birthday, Kelly. Glad ypu enjoyed it!
