How do you stay away from your danger food? I LOVE peanut butter! MMMMM!!!! I'd eat the whole darn jar! GRR! So what I did was put a post it on it saying, you'll love me more if you don't eat me!

    haha peanut butter is my # 1 weakness as well. I eat it like it's pudding! I have my roomate and/or parents actually hide it from me. I have tried to just say no, but honestly, outta sight, outta mind is the only way for me. Good luck!

    My two downfalls and perhaps the worst are reubens and pizza.

    don't buy it or buy it in individually wrapped portions (if you can find them) so that you have instant portion control.

    I still eat it. Not as much as I use to but I do.


    I say that but lately I cant get enough candy. Chocolate candy. I cant seem to stop myself. I think I need to see a hypnotist. Ugh!

    I have Adam's crunchy almost every day for a snack with multi grain crackers. The trick is to eat just within your calorie range:) Peanut Butter is healthy, that's what I believe anyway:) and I just don't eat more than I should, most of the time;) You'll be fine and drink that water. It sure helps take away the food cravings. Plus, I like to eat 5 or 6 meals a day. Just smaller portions:) denise PS I know it takes awhile for me to form good eating habits but I don't have to deprive myself of anything I want to eat if I eat smart;) I use that food diary like my life depends on it. Sometimes I think it does, or my weight does at the very least:)

    I agree! Peanut butter can be a healthy source of protein. I eat it several times a week. One switch I did make was to a natural "Ingredients: peanuts" peanut butter. Yum.

    I'm hooked on almond butter.

    I have a serious addiction to chocolate and really all sweets. I never noticed until I started dieting. It's very hard for me to resist.

    I eat organic peanut butter ( just peanuts) and apple as a snack often. It is healthy and very filling

    Sarabear have you tried Better'n Peanut Butter? http://www.betternpeanutbutter.com/index.html its pricey, my local grocery store sells it for $5.99/jar but its only 100 calories & 2.5 grams of fat in 2 tbs and tastes great, its all natural, with no saturated fat (unlike reduced fat peanut butters like Jif). They have a chocolate variety that I spread on a kashi waffle for a quick, tasty & filling breakfast for only 180 calories :)

    Also you can buy PB2 http://www.bellplantation.com/ which is a powdered peanut butter, that is again all-natural w/ no saturated fats and is 50 calories & 2 grams of fat for 2 tbs. I've tried mixing it with water to make a "butter" like it calls for but didnt like that, however I LOVE using it in cooking, I've added it to smoothies & cookies before and I know someone who used it in a thai peanut sauce instead of peanut butter and raved about it.
