It has come to my attention that I have a very unnatural obsession with peanut butter. I have obessions with a lot of things, but the peanut butter one is starting to get out of control.
The Fresh Market does not help me with this problem. They have this delicious product known as "peanut butter pretzel nuggets" which I have renamed "crack" due to their highly addictive nature. I rarely allow myself to purchase an entire bag, because I have no self control when it comes to these little gems. NO self control. I eat them for breakfast, for snack, for dessert even after a four course meal. There's no stopping point for me either. Sick.
Crunchy peanut butter is my main weakness but really any carb + peanut butter combo will do. Tonight I came home and ate a perfectly satisfactory dinner of carrots, broccoli and hummus, with a small side of camembert cheese and a few crackers. Obviously the requisite glass of wine was included, but when I finished my taste buds called me to the jar of peanut butter in the kitchen. I smathered some on Ritz crackers and validated it as my dessert. But the problem is that once I start eating peanut butter, I can't stop. I just ate two peanut butter "lollipops" (giant spoonfuls of peanut butter) and now I feel utterly disgusting and defeated. Is it possible that I am just going to have to cut out my favorite food altogether because I have no implementation of self control? Is here a self help group for this sort of thing? Help! I need peanut butter in my life!
**I obviously have also been spending too much time reading a blog devoted to food lately because I'm not sure I've ever devoted a whole post to a food item.
