Been gone and been bad

I have been so busy I have not had much time to post. Excuses excuses but true excuses...lol The other day I bought some ice cream and dipped a couple t spoons and it was so good, got a little more. Well did ok. So last night I got a couple Tablespoons and then a bit more and dumped....omg...I felt so sick, went to bed at 8am. Well this morning I had a bit more and felt so sick and I threw the ice cream away. Why is we try to eat what we know we shouldnt? Back to basics guys. Denise

You have to live and learn, that is the best teacher.

k, so you've proven you're human, and that the mental end of food addiction is not fixed when the gastric end is... I'm not going to try and pretend that I have any willpower at all... but I've heard others say they have a "3 bite rule" and I'm pretty impressed with the idea... 1. to taste 2. to savor slowly 3. to get "one last bite" and that's it I think if we feel deprived, and feel like we've been neglecting ourselves that it's harder to say no... it's easier (in my logic - no experience yet) to say "ok, but just 3 bites!" so that I wouldn't feel like I had been missing out on anything... make sense? Granted this is all based on others experiences... I have yet to try to put it to the test... Good luck... and hang in there, it can only get better!

hi denise, sorry for the ice cream dump, but one bite would have been ok, ive ate a small cup of ice cream before, then i gave it to someone, because i know that is my downfall, i love ice cream, i probably would be happy to live just off that. If you read my post on the message board, i was bad yesterday, but back on road today. went to surgeon today, fixing to post about that. be good now,,, denise..... rhonda

Wow, Denise, I don't dump and you cured me on ice cream. Hey, honey, remember, that which does not kill us only serves to make us stronger -- however, don't take the dumping syndrome too lightly. That puppy sounds serious. I say, let's avoid all that pain and puking at all costs. Please feel better soon. Frances

Hi Denise, I have learned that i dumped on ice cream from a box. Doesn't matter what kind it is but i do. Boy i would get sicker than an dog and finally came realization that this was worth it. I can do soft serve from Mcdonalds, Dairy Queen, and Sonic. I would try that and see if that does it for you. Marti
