Dear God, Plz hlp my Reeces addiction



Recommended Posts

I too love them Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Fortunately I became allergic to Peanuts and can't have them anymore. I don't know how you suddenly develope an allergy to Peanuts, but I realized it when I was on the South Beach Diet eating a lot of Peanut Butter. I started wheezeing like a big dog. Allergist told me to stay way clear of all nuts from now on. I don't want to die, so I don't eat them.

i have a reciepe that I use to help with certain cravings and this one may help you. Take 1 tbsp of Peanut Butter and 1 sugar-free/fat-free fudgsicle. Place peanut butter in a bowl insert the frozen fudgsicle. Place in microwave for 15-30secs. Just enough to barely melt the fudgsicle. Then mix the pb and melted fudgsicle together. Serve with cool whip. - good news gives you 4-6 grams of Protein and keeps the calories down.

Hope it helps.

grocery shopping online?? I bet you drive one of those HOVERCrafts to work too?? I thought Mrs. Jetson was the only one who could GROCERY shop online!! How does this work? Do they deliver, or do they gather, and you pick up? Is there a service charge? OH MY, the poor bag boys are going to be obsolete. Some of them were so darned cute.

LOL

Out here (Southern California) you can do this at albertsons.com and vons.com (vons is a Safeway brand). At Albertson's, you can pay $9.95 for delivery, or $5.95 for them to gather it for you so you can pick it up. It's really nice, and I do find it helps me not buy junk. I haven't done it much, but I can go throught he lists of things and decide what I want to buy, and then go through what it is in my 'cart' and prune out what I put in there that I really don't need, or isn't in my budget.

:confused:

OK, I too am a Reeses addict.......Lately though when I NEEDED it, I bought the SMALL bag of reeses pieces. Split them 5 ways (btw me & my 4 kids) and ate my mini serving VERY SLOWLY loving every second of it. I figure 5 resses pieces can't be too bad. After all they were ET's favorite and look at his BMI..........

I know it's not the same, but I found something when I'm really desperate. I put a little low fat Peanut Butter in Cream of Wheat. I use the single serving instant made with milk. Put peanut butter in the milk. Micro 2 minutes. Stir in instant Cream of Wheat. Micro 1 more minute. This takes care of my peanut butter craving. You can top with yogurt or anything. Perhaps something Sugar Free Chocolate.< /p>

Peanut Butter cups are my favorite.

Reese's makes sugar free mini pb cups! I found them when I found out I was diabetic...taste like regular ones! One mini kills that craving for me.

I have a receipe for a kind of Reeces square. It DOES taste like the real thing and you can leave the chocolate part off, which is unfortunate because I think there is some value in working for that little bit of Peanut Butter inside. Totally addictive, however I'm proud to say I haven't made it in about 5 years.

i like only the thin layer of chocolate on the top and bottom of the cup. I do not like the thick rim of chocolate on the outer rim of the cup.

lol, I'm an addict too. I make them @ home we call them Peanut Butter fudge.

My Grand ma taught me how to make them, she would roll the peanut butter mix into balls then on a toothpick dip them into chocolate. I only make them 1 or 2 times a year. Xmas and if we go somewhere we have to bring a desert.

My hubby cannot see a movie in the theater w/out his reeses pieces, I cant watch it w/out popcorn! lol

I bet I could change up my recipe using low fat peanut butter, splinda (sp) hmm dunno. I'm going to go eat an apple and peanut butter now :)

Oh man. Reese's are the only candy that I really like, and they're my favorite. I haven't had one since banding. I do have a surrogate, FWIW. I add a tbl of low-fat PB to my Protein shakes. In chocolate powder it tastes Peanut Butter cup-ish, not spot on but really good. In vanilla powder it tastes like the white chocolate cups, IMO.

Next time I make a shale I'm going to try the SF PB DaVinci Syrup. Mmm... can't wait...

(Ok, speaking of Peanut Butter & chocolate addictions, I don't really like ice cream that much, but BR has the BEST flavor, Peanut Butter Chocolate... mmmmmmmmm...)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
