ice cream i scream

the whole office is indulging in the tastey treat - my true weakness. I know I don't dare partake... diabetes... and i want to keep losing weight. But it's killing me, all those wrappers and yummm noises. What do you do to talk yourself through it?

Hide in my office. Or if I know in advance about such a party I'll bring something I can eat to the party, like sugar-free pudding. Then I eat that while they're over there indulging and getting fat and raising their blood sugar and being totally unhealthy. I try not to get smug, but sometimes can't help myself knowing how thin and healthy I'll be and how they won't be. (O****ep that to myself.) The thing to do is get yourself put in charge of those kinds of things so that you can control what is eaten and what isn't. I know that isn't always possible. Marcia

Frozen grapes and low fat chesse gets me threw rough spots, like when i go to the movies I want the popcorn ,,, sooooooooooo bad so I take along grapes and cheese .. but i know today even grapes and cheese r not cutting it LOL Good luck Lisa

frozen grapes, huh? never tried that one. love the un-frozen variety, so i'm going to try it this weekend. =0) i'm thinking they might thaw out by the time i make it to the theater here in AZ... i'm trying it anyway. thanks for the tip! =0)

My ice cream "fix" is cottage cheese and pineapple. Yogurt would probably work, too. It's kinda like diet pop. It's nasty when you're a cola drinker. But once you switch to diet, the regular stuff just tastes sickenely sweet. DD

cottage cheese and pineapple was my dad's favorite before he passed away... i haven't had it in years. thanks for reminding me of that one. =0) brings back fond memories. He was a great guy, my 'ole pop. Have been stearing clear of pineapple cause i thought it was too stringy... will use the stuff thats cut up all small... thanks!!

My office just had a popcorn break... like the really good movie kind (we have a machine). I made sure to eat a 1/2c of cottage cheese before they started. A little bit of pressure in my pouch reminds me not to put anything bad in there.

funny. i was looking at the little bit of pressure as a reminder to wait 1/2 hour... will be looking at it from a new perspective now. reminder not to put anything bad in there. popcorn is another weakness of mine... i'm throwing away my unpopped bags at home. it's too much temptation. thank you! =0)

Well you could bring in a couple sf fudgesicles....It is hard I too was an creamolic.....that was my weakness also...and I did try Beyers no sugar added ice cream it was good and I only had 1/4 of a cup but I ate it slowly....Hang in there.....Years ago someone told me that ice cream had petrolemun jelly in it or the same things that make that....When you leave a spoon or bowl of ice cream out it gets stick like jelly....Well when I see people eatting it I picture they are eatting petrolemum jelly.....ewwww......Hang in there...

thanks for the tip! it's helping drive by Dairy Queen with my head held high. =0) I wasn't aware ahead of time that they were doing this... it was a surprize... yeah. So today they said on the 20th, they're doing a fund raiser w/Cold Stone Creamery. I'm definately stocking up on the fudgesicles for that one! =0) Thank you!
