Yesterday I did something I do not remember doing before: I threw out a whole jar of peanut butter. I opened it and had some and realized that is was a huge mistake.

I almost cried doing it. Not sure if it was because I was wasting food, or because I would not be able to eat it or because the pb had defeated me. It feels like the right decision.

But do not tell my husband.

Thats one of the main things my mama feed me when I was growing up we can't help but to love these foods it was probably all the feelings that you described you are much braver than I am I couldn't imagine throwing away a jar of peanut butter I love peanut butter to much but you did what you thought was right for you and I applaud you for that good job

Yes, there are "red light" foods for me too that I must avoid. Nacho Cheese Doritos

Yes, I hear that about the peanut butter. It's my favorite cheat food right out of the jar with a spoon. The only reason I keep it is I make PB cookies with it for my BF. But I need to stop! Good for you! Have a great day LIV!

ok that inspires me.... i'm going to start looking around for what my temptations are so I can make a painful decision too. DISCIPLINE is not easily won, but the rewards are just as rare . Discipline is what separates the beautiful thin people from the fat people who never met a calorie they couldn't turn down!

I once made a Mexican coffee flan to take to a get together with friends who almost all are obese and/or diabetic. I tasted it when it was done and slapped myself and did a nutritional analysis. I threw the whole thing away. I just could not bring myself to contribute to their issues. Took fresh fruit instead.

leagalize...I obviously lack discipline when it comes to some food. it is the truth unfortunately. I need to use my brain power and not my will power... I lack willpower.

🙊We all make mistakes.😲 Sometimes if u want to have less..💲 buy the kid's portion. They also have single use packs.🥜

Awe boy, that is hard 🥺 Why can't you eat pb?

Ahh nvm I understand now. Good for you! 💪😊💜

Single use pack is a good suggestion. I think when I need some (for a satay or cookies) I will make it myself... that way it will be very limited. Bree I can eat it... I just cannot stop eating it...

I am definitely a PB LOVER too. I got the PB2 power and love it and was less fat!!!

not a defeat at all. I would have filtered it through my digestive system before throwing it away. so your stronger than I.

I'm like that with some things and I do the same thing - I just throw it out before I eat it all. With peanut butter I can usually stick to the 2 tablespoons it takes to make half a sandwich.

I LOVE PB and nuts in general. It’s a struggle because they’re so high in calories. The PB2 powder is natural and minus the natural oils so much lower in fat/calories. A decent way to have PB for toast or sandwiches that doesn’t gobble up so many of you our daily allotment👍🏻

I've had to do that myself. It's hard. Beautiful cake left from a party, Nutella, 2 dozen donuts left by a "friend" kinda thing. I always rationalize it by going through the math. Would I pay $20 to lose the 20lbs in that box? Usually the answer is yes. Not always though. Depends on the day.
