TO LC's....what do you think about this?

[lizdotcom99]

It seems that weekends are just awful here as far as eating poorly. My SO uses the weekends as cheat days for him. So far, I have been pretty good. I have just cheated once, as it was a planned cheat day.

I limit lc snacks like lc icecream (1/2 serving about twice a week), jello with whip cream(also about twice a week.....often everyday without whip cream) and an occasional lc candy bar (I make 1 last a few days at TOM)....you know that TOM is just awful.....especially with chocolate cravings.

Anyway, here is my dilema. I am craving a 1/2 a piece of lc cheesecake....and got to thinking about allowing myself a lc "treat" aside from the ones mentioned above. What do you think about this. Please be honest. In my mind it seems OK.....but of course it is nice to get opinions of others.

This week I have logged 10 miles in walking as well...but I just don't want to say hey, I walked 10 miles this week so I can add_______________fill in nice yummy food item here.

Please be honest! Thanks in advance for your thoughts!!

Sue,
I actually had half a piece and was fine with that. It was yummy and just the right size. I also feel better about these things when I share the with SO......for some odd reason I think it is just better that way. Maybe in my mind I think that if we share, I am sharing my new lifestyle......I know that is weird, but that is just me thinking out loud!!

BTW, I have made some of the lc cheesecakes and they are so yummy....and big. It is just better for me to go and buy one piece of Cheesecake Factory LC Cheesecake!!!! One piece, that is it!!

Thanks for your encouragement!

Liz, I'd feel better about making my own rather than buying a piece from CF or somewhere else, unless I knew their recipe. I know that I do best on REAL food and have seen you post this as well. When I make it, I know what goes in it.

How about making an LC cheesecake, slicing it up and freezing it as individually wrapped slices? That way you control the portion size. Just a thought.

If you enjoy it and it doesn't affect your blood sugar (no sleepy feelings 1/2 hour - 1 hour later) and it doesn't affect your weight, then go for it!

Doe,
Great idea!! I can even send 1/2 of it away to Greg's brither. He would love 1/2 of a cheesecake. SO on that note, I may have to make one and freeze it and forget about it now that you have me motivated. Thanks!!
