Peanut Butter....

[meena-beena]

I am craving a heaping spoon of the stuff in the worst way-----how do I kill the craving?!?!?! The water isn't working so well anymore and I'm out of olives which I'd normally eat to get rid of a craving---I ate the last of the cheese too this morning with eggs.....

HELP!!

Re: Peanut Butter....

1. Remind yourself that peanut butter isn't made with peanuts. It's made with bird poop, colored brown.

2. Have another egg. And a big glass of water.

3. Tell yourself that you can have some peanut butter. Tomorrow, if you want. Just not today.

Luv ya, Meena. Hang in there!

Evermind! Birdpoop, how did you find that out! You know more about what things are made of than anyone I know!

Re: Peanut Butter....

Brown bird poop---lol. Isn't that a treat in some corners of the world??? I managed to get rid of it by going out to dinner with the family. I had a really amazing salad with a steak and a roasted chicken breast. I also guzzled down three glasses of water with my meal. I'm in a state of Zen now....

I'll have to do something with that jar of peanut butter though because I'm dreaming of it at night! The tape thing sounds good.

Re: Peanut Butter....

Any kind of nuts give me horrible stomach pains... maybe since nuts are harder to digest or the oils in them. That is enough to keep me away from them.

True. I wasn't going to tell y'all (being the modest soul that I am) that I have a PhD in food origins, and received the Nobel Prize for exposing the real nature of kitkat bars and Little Debbie Snack Cakes.

No, I will not sign autographs, but I am always here, with my infinite store of knowledge, to be of assistance.

Re: Peanut Butter....

I love peanut butter but it is hard to stop eating!

Re: Peanut Butter....

You know, it's funny that I can even eat and tolerate peanut butter because I've had my gallbladder removed. If I eat too many other types of nuts (especially cashews) I get a terrible tummy ache, but peanut butter never really gives me issues.

Smuckers all natural CHUNKY STYLE. Oh man....:::shivers::: I'm planning on serving up peanut butter and jelly sammies today to the kids for lunch to get rid of whatever is in the jar. Then I can go ahead and crave away without the fear of cheating.
