oh, my...these things are going to be my downfall. i peel the chocolate off and eat the peanutbutter. i love that damned Peanut Butter. you cant get it in a jar like that(thank goodness).

anyone have any reece's peanut butter cup eradication ideas?

Dear Dear Mini me,

A women after my own heart! I too am a Reeses junky.................

It's the reason I am so fat in the first place and the reason I can't seem to lose even on the lap band.

I found the new thicker reeses with nuts even better than the old standbys too and now there making them with extra peanut butter on the outside instead of all chocolate and they are sooooo good too.

I have a serous problem and I need to address it.

I'm not the kind of person to just give something up for good, It's like dropping a best friend. So I've incorporated them once i a while in my diet. Otherwise I dream about them and then I go crazy..........

So your not alone my friend.

I tried to watch what I ate pre-banding, for a bit anyway, so I only allowed myself 1 since they came out but have you guys ever had the chunk Reese's? The ones that are two or three normal cups all rolled into one... there's a TON of PB in those. Mmmm. Now back to my sad simulation of a "choclate and peanut butter" protein bar.

i know what you guys are talking about...yes i do.

hey wheetsin, i was thinking about you last night, you know, you have really done well in the past couple of months. it crossed my mind that you should change your name to wheetTHIN instead of wheetSIN

Why don't you buy some all-natural Peanut Butter (I use smuckers. for 1 tbsp, there is 105 cal, 8g fat, 3g carb, 4g protein) and some viactiv chews (1 piece has 20 cal, .5g fat, 4g carb, and 0g protein).

I would mix together about 1 teaspoon PB & 1 viactiv chew. The nutrition info would be 55 cal, 3.15g fat, 5g carb, and about 1.3g Protein.

And then, I would just lick the mixture from a spoon. Don't let yourself bite or take any pieces in your mouth. Make it last as long as possible. Make sure you count it into your daily food journaling. Limit it as much as possible (i.e. don't have it every day - make it your occasional treat).

I HAVE GREAT NEWS!!!

you know, ever since i got this band, i really have not committed myself to the necessary practices to achieve marked success...thus i have only lost 20 tiny little lbs since march. but today, i had an NSV that was not even weight related!! i completely attribute this NSV to my band, and the way that it has, indeed, modified my behavior.

i go for a tweak tomorrow. i have been beating myself up, like i do before every fill because i have not lost more weight. in a moment of weakness, i bought a king size pack of reece's pb cups. got to the car, could not even weight...i mean wait...to get out of the parking lot and i had the package ripped open. i stopped to get gas, thinking i would finish the pack off while waiting on the money meter to stop rolling.

would you believe that i finished the one single cup and did not want anymore? i was actually able to recognize that the single cup was enough to satisfy the madness.

i tickle myself sometimes...i know, that's perverted, i shouldnt do that...AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! i am so happy!

Way to go Mini Me!!!! That is great! That is truly the way we are suppossed to eat. All we need is a little bit. That is a great accomplishment.

Reeses addict here too!! I usually buy them for Halloween candy and by the time Halloween gets here I need to buy another bag cause they are gone.

Nope I just go straight for the peanut butter cup ice cream.

Oh my, I too have recently discovered a form of peanut butter ice cream that is going to be the death of me. It is Breyer's peanut butter tracks. It has mini chocolate chips and big strips of peanut butter and I am in love. I don't understand this at all either. Pre-band, I was not an ice cream person, I never have been. It could be in my freezer and I was not even mildly tempted. I got fat on the crunchy, salty stuff. But this darn peanut butter tracks ice cream, I can't say no. The only good thing about it is I eat some and feel so guilty that as soon as I am done I immediately head for the treadmill.

AAAHHHHHHHHHHHH---ladies, thanks for noticing. i relayed this incident to my friend, butterfly1973, as my most significant NSV...and it has NOTHING to do with weight or inches or being over to tie my shoes...and the laces being on the top of the shoe instead of the sides....aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
