There are some things that I enjoy eating that I won't give up. I really like Peanut Butter. I don't eat it as much as I used to, but I still enjoy it occasionally. The bummer part is for 2 Tbsp of Peanut Butter you get 190 calories and 145 of those are FAT. :( I love all the flavor but not the calories. Well, the other day I was wandering around the grocery store and I came across an awesome product that I have fallen in love with (figuratively speaking of course *shifting eyes back and forth*)
Anyway, it's called PB2, it's a powdered peanut butter. I know it sounds a little weird, but basically it's just roasted peanuts that were pressed so most of the oil is removed. Anyway, the only ingredients in it are roasted peanuts, sugar and salt. The best part is 2 Tbsp of PB2 is 45 calories, and 13 of those are fat. (There's also 5 g protein per serving!) You can mix it with whatever liquid you like, or just add the powder to stuff like Thai dishes. The flavor is amazing and I don't feel guilty for eating it. Click HERE to see more information about it. They also have CHOCOLATE PB2... I'm going to order some of that and I'll let you know what I think. :)

Tuesday's Tips: 13
Avoid Trigger Foods!
What are trigger foods? Well, they are the foods that once you start eating you can't stop. I have a few like: Nutella, Nobake-Cookies (which i make on rare occasions), Marshmallow Creme, Sun Chips... etc. You get the idea.
Anyway, today's tip spawns from my lack of control with a new food that I must add to my 'DO NOT BUY' list.... Quaker HONEY GRAHAM 'Oh's' Cereal....
YUM, but AHHHHH.... do you want to hear something pathetic and that might come as a shock to you? I bought a box yesterday thinking that it'd be fun to have a bowl as a dessert after the kids were in bed. I ate 1/2 the BOX!!!! :( Crazy, isn't it? Anyway, this delectable cereal is one of my Trigger foods that can induce binge eating, so I will no longer allow myself the privilege of buying it. Instead, when I go to the grocery store, I will allow myself the one longing look at it, as I've done for a couple of months now with my Nutella, and then I will pass it by and move onto foods that aren't addictive.
Good luck! :)
