I can relate to the food triggers. I always liked the suggestion of buying a single packet of a trigger in the store, eating it, and hopefully putting the urge behind me. I don't do it enough.  

I am OK without them. I eat other nuts or dark chocolate.  

Nice job! Yep I’m with you on not buying certain foods and having them at home. I tried thinking I could hide them for myself or measuring them out but still ended up eating more than I should.  

Yup. I can eat a jar of peanut butter easy. It is a bit scary. I have had to throw pb in the garbage because I lost control. Oh dear... 

I Second that 

Do what works for you... 

I have had my husband hide the peanut butter and I think I need to do it again. I get up at 2 am and eat a tablespoon! 

Oh, the peanut butter! good thing you recognize it's a problem. I bought peanuts in the shell to keep me from digging in by the spoon full. I give some to a squirrel 2x a day. So far, it's worked. I don't sit down and shell the whole bag! 😵‍💫 My list is BREAD any kind even low carb. anything sweet, cake, ice cream bars, quest bars, no keto QUEST snacks unless I'm on the road and can buy ONLY ONE. Milk, I'll drink the whole gallon. 😋 YA, I'm sure I could add a lot to that list!  

ps, I've done fairly well with Lilly's dark chocolate baking chips. i measure them out. 

I also have serious problems with peanut butter. And it also causes me a lot of GI issues, even if I do eat it in moderation. 

PB2, cocoa powder and NF Greek yogurt. As a spread. It’s amazing. 

Hey Liv~ way to go with maintenance! I’m copying below my recipe for a peanut butter stand-in; great for apple dipping, sandwiches or by the spoonfuls. Has wayyy better macros than peanut butter (lower calorie, high protein / low fat); compare these macros for a QUARTER CUP SERVING (not a stingy amount) to your favorite pb brand… per 1/4 cup (4 Tbsps): 145 cal, 20 protein, 10 carb, 2 fat: BETTER(peanut)BUTTER -165 g low fat cottage cheese -80 g powdered peanut powder (PB2 brand) -2 x 1 tsp, (7 g) allulose (or another tiny amount of sweetener..optional) -3 g cacao powder -1 small container, 150 g vanilla Greek yogurt -1/4 tsp, salt DIRECTIONS 1. Pulse cottage cheese by itself in the food processor to smooth out the texture (165g = 1/2 cup) 2. mix dry ingredients; The small amount of allulose or another sweetener is optional..as is the cacao, but both these ingredients in these small amounts add a deeper color and balanced flavor- 3. Add all remaining dry ingredients to food processor; blend for about a minute-pausing to scrape down sides. (I weigh my ingredients but for reference, 80 grams peanut butter powder is .4 cup; 3g cacao is about 1 tablespoon) 4. After mixing all..If too thick, add tiny amount of water and pulse to blend- but to me it's best when thick, like peanut butter. 

yep, I'm the same with pb, just can't start or I'll have several spoonfuls! 

For me it is Triple Ginger Thins and Lotus Biscoff storebought, and homemade peanut butter/chocolate chip cookies. Can. Not. Resist. Indulging. :/ 

Same here🙏
