HELP!!! I canot stop eating ice cream. i don't eat alot of food, but I guess since ice cream goes down so easy, I just love it! Any ideas???

Stacy,

LOL.

Stop buying it.

lol

No really, can you try to buy and acquire a taste for lower calorie ice cream. I ate a lot of sf banana Popsicle from Krogers and a lot of low calorie fudge bars. Then eventually I would eat fruit bars.

Also make yourself accountable as Dr Phil says.

Just tonight I told my husband something I wanted to do 3 times a day. Nothing dirty. tee hee

I told him if when he came home from work tomorrow I had not done it twice I could not watch ANY night time TV . I could not record it either. Believe me unless I go mad tomorrow I plan on keeping my end of the deal. I am scared but excited because I know this has worked for me in the past with exercise.

Hope this helps,

edie

What a clever idea Edie!

And Slim- I feel your pain.. we have a Bruster's Ice Cream down the road with Birthday Cake Icecream that is worth getting fat for LOL!!

I know it would be great right now, and during mushies.. but I've just told myself NO-and don't get it. Don't buy anymore ice cream!

There ARE some low-sugar, low-carb etc ice creams that really are worth trying out there, if you feel you have to have it.. but really, if you feel like you HAVE to have it that much, why not cut yourself off. Empower yourself

That's what I did with cokes! NO MORE COKES! EVAH! Hehehe

I love the dairy queen sundae's...yum, hot fudge! But when I read the nutritional info and realized that I could eat a box of sugar free fudgsicles instead it was quite eye-opening. I do love the fudgesicles, so I don't feel like I'm totally depriving myself.

Go get some of those 10 calorie frozen ice pops that you can buy in crate size lol . I love them things. Another thing I have been doing is making slushy's out of crystal lite with a blender.

I agree with the others, There are a lot of good ice creams that are made with mostly splenda. You still have to read the labels because some of them seem misleading but they dont taste bad!

Thanks for the support! I think the best way is to cut off completely! That is the only way for me.

Thanks for the insight! Those calories are awful, and I know this is why I stopped losing!

Good for you! That's how me and coke are.. if I get a sip of diet coke, I'll want the real coke.. and I'll obsess about it until I get it.

Good luck! JUST SAY NO!! :guess

See, I'm going to give different advice. If you're really really craving something, I say have some of it. Here's why. A craving can be moderated. When you want something and tell yourself, "NO, I can't have it" is when your brain starts to rebel. Soon it's not just a craving, but something much closer to an obsession. And when you get to that point, you're going to overeat.

When I crave ice cream, I go and buy one scoop, or one of he "Personals" or somehow, through my purchase, moderate my portion. I eat my serving, my craving is taken care of. Had I bought the gallon, I would have eaten it just because it was there, and that's where I don't want to go.

ice cream is my most favorite food. Now its also one of those danger foods. So now when I want to eat it I have to be careful. I can only have a little bit at one time because its high calorie. So I have to figure how much I am allowed based on calorie content (200 calories worth). Then I measure out that amount. Then the ice cream gets put away. Then I go eat my ice cream. And then I think, that was good! I have different kinds too. I have plain vanilla. I have low fat. I have sherbert. I have Ben and Jerry's. So depending on my needs I can have the variety that best suits them. And I don't eat it every day. But I used to. And if its not satisfying me then that tells me I need to eat something else like protein.

I agree with that as well. I am going to try to only grab icecream when I am out somewhere. I will get one serving instead of bringing it in the house.

OMG. ICE CREAM!! Nooooooo! Haha. That is my total weakness. I (SERIOUSLY!) used to eat a 1/2 gallon carton 2-3 times a week! Dang. No wonder I'm huge!

OK, and have you ever tried those low carb and low fat ice creams? I'm on the toilet before I get halfway through the carton. Of course, one shouldn't eat that much...I'm just saying...

If you HAVE to have it, go for the real thing. Get what you want and get it out of the way. I'm not banded yet, but I've already had serious discussions with myself about the evilness of ice cream. I'm with Wheetsin about just buying one scoop, or the small personal things.
