I love/hate peanut butter!

I am a little scared.  I have to weigh in tonight or tomorrow morning and my diet has been horrible!  I am a peanut butter addict.  I can not leave the stuff alone.  I can give up candy, chocolate, alcohol, all of the bad stuff except peanut butter.  I give peanut butter a lot of the credit for getting me to my highest weight of 227 pounds (what I weighed in August).  I would eat a big jar by myself in 2 or 3 days.  When I started trying to get healthy, I completely quit buying the stuff and I even had to resort to skipping that aisle in the grocery store (sad I know, but it worked for me).  I haven’t had a jar in the house since August.  Well, I always usually do the grocery shopping but my husband did the shopping the other day.  He comes home really proud of himself and says, “Look what I got for you!”  Well, peanut butter in moderation is actually a healthy snack but I cannot do it in moderation.  I think the small jar was bought 3 or 4 days ago and there is probably only 1 spoonful left.  I eat it for snacks and meals, on sandwiches, fruit, and by the spoonful.  I am always thinking about peanut butter if I have it in the house.  So, I am happy that the jar is almost gone.  I am going to make sure that I do the shopping from now on.  I am going to go to the gym tonight and try to do some damage control.  I am sorry to the hot rods because I am sure that I reversed my 2 pound loss that I started with this week.  Wow, I just reread this blog and I sound a little like a crazy person :)  I will do better starting now.  I am throwing out the jar with that last delicious spoonful in it!  Go me!
