Swearing off Peanut Butter!

aside from my daily procrastinating, i'm posting this forum to stop myself from eating peanut butter!

my oath to swear off peanut butter is now in print and i don't care if people don't give a crap. 

i've eaten at least 2 tbs of peanut butter straight from the jar since i was a kid and i have no idea why.  I've unleashed my secret and i'm owning up to it; now (hopefully) i can stop my compulsion from ever sticking a spoon back into a creamy, thick, salty-sweet jar of delicious peanut butter....

Mmmmm.....yummy peanut butter. 

 I always eat it off a spoon as well.

 Good luck!  =]

I'm curious about why you are swearing off peanut butter. If you allow for the calories in your calorie budget, what's the big deal?

If you have to give it up, than give it up.

Personally I think that peanut butter has great value and on days when my protein is low peanut butter is an easy way to bring it up a little.

I have sworn off peanut butter for the time being as well because it has a lot of calories and you can do a lot of damage in a short amount of time hovering over the jar with a big ol' spoon!  I thinki PB is GREAT, a schmear on a toasted english muffin tastes yummy and has high protein, but I don't do things quite in control yet, so I'm with you on the PB ban for now. 

I too have sworn it off. I found myself dippin my finger in it every hour lol. So i refuse to have it in my house. Its a bad addiction.

aw peanut butter....I too have problems with this delicious goodness.  I've switched to better n' peanut butter or peanut wonder which is only 100 cal for 2 tablespoons but that still can cause problems some days.  I just ran out and am probably not going to buy any more for atleast a month just so I can regain some self control.

I have a PB addiction. I love it no a spoon, and sometimes ill just dig my finger right into the jar. better n peanut butter just doesnt cut it for me

trying to curb my PB intake took but the thing ive learned is the 3 teaspoons makes a tblspn so i try and limit myself to 3 teaspoons so im not eating a full serving.... just a tip friends 

Hahah! Sometimes when I am really "bad" I would stick some chocolate chips in my mouth and then a spoon of PB and munch it up like a quickie Reese's PB cup!!!  Bad bad bad bad !!!!!!  See?  that's why I ban the PB for now!!!  I can't handle all that peanutty lovefest!

I'd rather eat 30 pistachios than 1 tbs of peanut butter.

=^..^= MOLLY

I haven't sworn off peanut butter, but I can easily see why it would be necessary to many people....

 For some reason, I've learned to be able to have just 1teaspon t of it.  I take it in 2 bites.  (It's not sanitary to re-dip the spoon, and I don't want to dirty more than one spoon because then I have to clean it...)

 When I was in high school (back in the late 80s) I used to dip the spoon into the peanut butter, then dip it into cocoa (like hot chocolate mix or sweetened cocoa).  MMMmmmm.

 I've done the chocolate chips in my mouth followed by peanut butter...  

Wow.  Such yummy goodness!!

 A few months ago I bought a jar of Smuckers Brand.  I have to babysit that peanut butter!!!  I have to roll it and shake it and stir it...  wow.  It keeps separating!  But I'm cool with it.  Means "high quality and even more yummy" to me.   :)

Bite your tongue.  Never give it up, I love all peanut butter.  On days I need lower cals or fat however I use "Better N Peanut Butter".  Only 100 cals, 2 grams of fat for 2tbls, oh and low sodium compared to reg peanut butter.  You should try it, yummy. 

1 tablespoon of Peanut Butter on a banana with 4 oz drink of skim milk.  That is my evening snack many nights.  Choosy fathers can't sacrifice less tastier peanut butter than Jif.

skippy natural is one of my vices.... i just can't let go... i had a pb&j for lunch the other day and it was over 300 cals... craziness!!! but once it touched my lips, i didn't care... but i'm with you on the pb... not sure if i could give it up completely, so i have to allow for it every once in a while...

anyway... good luck!! you've got more willpower than me!

Dude... Peanut butter is extremely nutritious and substantial. Use it to your advantage.

I put PB into a bowl and dip baby carrots into it. 

ummm....I HATE peanut butter out of the jar.....tastes like paste to me....

now, if it's in something, like peanut butter cookies or reeses.....well....I love it....haha

Does hearing about people sticking their fingers in the jar gross anyone else out?? Anyway, the trick is to take your food and LEAVE... eating over the bag, jar or container never turns out well!

I've been peanut-butter free for exactly 1 year!  After eating a batch of the tainted peanut-butter and barfing my guts out everyday until we found out it had salmonella... I can't even LOOK at peanut butter!  (that's what I get for eating the entire jar)  :/

stick some raw chicken skin in your peanut butter... maybe that'll keep you away from it??  lol  just kidding

seriously though, you can do it!! don't buy it anymore... that's the easiest way to stay away from it. 

G-luck

I'm swearing myself off eating peanut butter plain; if I want abit on toast then that's okay.

I do it with things like honey and jam as well...just eat it out of the jar it's so bad. D;

I'm trying to stop doing it altogether, because it's binge eating behavior that isn't healthy and I always feel so guilty after. ): 

damn i failed!  i'll try again.
