Pleasant Morning

Hi All,
Gosh I was happy when I got on the scale this morning and it was down 3 pounds. I know that can change overnight but I haven't seen this # in a while and it was a thrill. Also experimented with making protein ice cream last night. Used half n half (naughty), egg, Splenda, PomRaz protein and frozen strawb. It was delish but made about 3 serv. so need to cut it down some
because as I figured I like it too much.

WOW!! That is awesome! Congratulations, Lucy. I bet you feel wonderful when you saw the 3 lbs loss. That is great news! Just a little caution with Eggface's ice cream ... it can be VERY addicting. oh boy , the protein ice cream is so goooooood......YES , cut back and only make the ice cream when you are craving it.....  measure and keep it small. Otherwise , you will go over board and go nuts with the ice cream recipes - like i did.  lol

Yep... i really seem to have a problem with moderation if it something I like... guess that's why I had RNY!  Thanks for the encouragment.. I am my own worst enemy when it comes to foods like that. One thing is I do not have an ice cream freezer except for a hand crank. So that should deter me and wear off some calories. Last night I made in the blender.

Ice cream that can be made in a blender.  Dear Lord do NOT give me the recipe.  I think we're all alike in that we have difficulty with portion control even after the surgery.  If it's soft and yummy, I'll overeat on it.  I never overeat with chicken breast or pot roast, lol.  I will avoid making this treat until I am closer to goal and feeling stronger in my resolve!  Sounds really good though.

Congrats on the weight loss! Keep up the good work.

Good for You   I just dawned on me that I'v e been doing you a major disservice by focusing on your food (the symptom of the problem) rather than the thinking (the problem).  Kind of like give a man a fish and he will eat one meal, teach a man to fish and he will eat many meals.  Let me recommend THE BECK DIET SOLUTION - by Judith Beck.  it's a great book and I guarantee you if you follow the daily steps, in order, for the six weeks you will find your eating much much much less of a problem.  Have a great day - and again, YEAH for your weight loss
