A Brief Whine: I'm Sick and I Want ICE CREAM!!!

Just a brief whine, if you'll allow me....

I have a terrible sore throat, so it hurts to swallow. In addition, I think being sick is actually making my band tight. On top of that, nothing tastes right. 

So really, all I want to do is dive head-first into a pint of Ben & Jerry's. Or 3.


*sigh*

But I won't.  Ok, rant over.

DO NOT eat a pint of ice cream...lol, however, they now have those itty bitty, I call them half of a pint of ice cream, that I think would be good for you, especially if you are not feeling good and if you are tight, it could be the only thing that you will be able to get down...what ever you do...feel better. I envy anyone who can actually eat ice cream, so I more likely is not the person to listen to when it come to ice cream.

LOL! No, I can can get yogurt and cottage cheese down just fine, SADLY!

I may get myself some sorbet or Skinny Cow ice cream. I try not to keep that stuff in the house, but I'll see how I feel later.

I had a Dove bar last night and was not struck by lightening!

Get sugar free ice pops. I have tonsillitis and that is what I have been eating for 2 days.

And sugar free popsicles soothes my sore throar AND cures my sweet tooth!

...oops! sore throat...lol

I had Strep throat in December and my throat hurt so bad that I couldn't eat.  I lived on nothing but Adkins protein drinks and Carb Smart ince cream bars for 4 days.  The cold soothed my throat.  I actually lost and I was fine within a week.  Went back to my regular diet.  The Ben and Jerry's I wouldn't do just because I think one pint is like 800 calories!!!!

I used to put down a pint or two, now when I have a Ben and Jerry's craving I cut the pint in half and eat just the half (I don't keep it in the house I give the other to my Son) ..............yes it is fattening and some say not good to have.....but for me if I deprive myself it most likely leads to a binge............I believe everything in moderation, and it normally hits me once a month LOL.....

I have never gained weight from having a half a pint of Ben and Jerry every once in a while............I have gained from having a pint or two every week.

If it will make you feel better and won't bring on cravings or a binge then go for it......

I hope you feel better
