Help! I'm sitting here thinking, I want some Ice Cream, but I came here instead!

[Terry S]

Okay, I am sitting watching TV and I want some Chocalte Ice Cream! Talk me out of it quick!

 

[TigH]

DON'T DO IT!

Have some yummy ice cold water instead! Chew some sugarless gum. Paint your fingernails!!! Have one hard candy and make it last a loooooong time. Just leave the ice cream ALONE!

Or, if you trust yourself, have ONE small spoon, put the container away immediately, and savor that little taste (then drink lots of water!!!!)

Really, it's late, you should go to bed RIGHT NOW and you'll wake up happier in the morning!

This is coming from someone who wishes she was having a beer or a margarita! hee hee! Off to bed to read and wake up feeling GREAT for sticking to my plan. YOU STICK WITH YOURS TOO, y'hear me!

Terry,
Hang in there....Im alone tonight so I almost went out and got an ice cream bar, knowing no one would know!!!
But I think it might have been half will power and half lazyness that I decided not to go!!!
Let me know how you do!!
You will make it!

You really don't need the ice cream. Get you a big glass of cold water and add some lemon if you need to. Keep surfing these boards and I bet your craving will go away. That is what I do when I get a craving for something. In fact, DH just passed a bowl of peanut M&M's and I was able to say no thanks, twice .

You can do it, just fight the temptation. Good luck and sending PD your way to not let your mind talk you to the freezer.

Okay, so I got up, did the few dishes that were in the sink and read a book with the kids. Its going to be a hard night tonight because I really want it, but I think I am going to make it with sheer will and determination and of course my WISH friends. Thanks all of you guys soo much. You really are there for each other (and me), and that is just sooo cool!

I have another 15 minutes and then I can put he kids to bed, and crawl into bed with a good book, once I am in bed I won't want to get back up since I know I want to get up and do my exercising early!

Thanks again {{{{{HUGS}}}}} to you all!

I'm afraid I can't be of much help - I just had ice cream - but......it was a "Skinny Cow" ice cream sandwich - so I only hve a little guilt.

Congrats on your show if willpower!!

 

[Terry S]

Well, I think I am going to make it! I just went and tucked the kids in and kissed them goodnight and I thought I would check in here one last time and I am off to bed. Thanks again my friends!

yes it is summertime and ice cream & summertime go hand in hand.

However, I havent had an ice cream since mid-May when I went on a lowfat diet. I have not brought any ice cream into this house even tho my 2 boys have begged.
I will buy DS ice cream whenever we are at the Farm, Zoo, etc. That's when I bring along a YoCrunch Oreo Yogurt. Just the other day DS had his oreo icecream and I had my oreo yocrunch. Yes there are healthier yogurts but this way I still get a taste of the candy.

Good for you, Terry! Glad you made it through that craving!
