I am at work right now, and everyone is order delicious ice cream from the local DQ.
I really, really, really want some... , but I need to lose weight for my surgery.....

I am trying to be strong and resisting because I know I need to get this under control.

It's not about depriving myself, it's all about control. Control over my eating, control over my choices, control over my life..

Can someone just PLEASE give me at "way to go" and make me feel a little bit better about this.

HELP!

You are doing just fine!  I can relate to how you felt though.  I loved ice cream before my WLS.  You'll be able to conquer your cravings because you want to be thin and healthy.  We're here to talk to any time.  Hang tough.  You are gonna be so proud of yourself when this is all said and done.  WLS will help you get to that point if you make it work for you and it sounds like you are really trying.

"WAY TO GO"!!!!!

I can so understand, that is the moment what a good tasting gum, sniff of pepermint, anything else to break the longing comes in helpful. 


Start a pro and con list (2 columns) and list the benefits and of choosing to do the ice cream or no ice cream.  Reread the list.  Makes the choice much easier.

I was so ready to do DQ when my blood sugar was low earlier today.  Didn't do it.  Am I am so glad.

A litle late for a "way to go" I know.  Just wanted to let you know you are not alone.  I am craving something sweet and have been all day.  Have tried healthy options but my craving won't be fooled.  At least I can come here and be reminded that I am not the only one.

Thanks to everyone for their encouragement.  Just want to let you know.. I DID NOT have DQ.

Life is more important than ice cream.  However, I think I will invest in some sugarless gum to give me a sweet boost with out all the junk.

Yippeeeee for self control.  I was lucky I was in my pj's and didn't want to go to the effort or trouble to get dressed, then drive to DQ, laziness is a benifit at these times.
