How soon do you want to end up under the chest-cutter's scalpel (heart surgeon) to fix the blocked arteries in your heart (they can only do that twice in your lifetime...if you live) or...worse yet, on a slab in the morgue.
You're in control of your mind and your body~~~take control. You can do it because you're a winner.0 -
Here's something to keep in mind about this whole weight loss journey:
The things we love (like ice cream or cake or pie) aren't going to suddenly disappear simply because we're trying to lose weight. They are still going to show up in our lives once in awhile. Here's how *I* handle it...
If I want some ice cream - I have it. I read the serving size, I portion it out, I eat it and I log it. I make sure that I account for it in my calories for the day.
If I want a piece of cake - I have it. I cut the frosting off it. I take the smallest piece I can get, I eat it and I do the best I can to log it.
If I want pie - I have it. I take a small piece, eat it and log it as best I can.
You can't go the rest of your life never coming in contact with the items you love. Plus, I don't know about you -- but I'm only 35 and have a LONG life ahead of me. I don't want to live it miserably. You have to remember to ENJOY life too.
So. Portion out 1/2 cup. Savor each bite. Log it. And go on with your life.
Great advice!

Oh my goodness. 1/2 cup of ice cream isn't going to send her to the emergency room for bypass surgery tonight. I think you're being just a wee bit extreme here. Good grief.0 -
OKay, I DID IT.
I ate it, and then I put my bowl in the sink and left it alone.
Just the after taste of ice cream makes me feel like a failure!~0 -
go for it and enjoy!!!!0

All this over ice cream?
I thought someone's arms fell off or their dog got hit by a car or you know, like a crisis.
You may want to take a moment and reevaluate your approach to this if it's going to be a longterm/lifetime thing. Unless !!! count as cardio, you are going to need to get some perspective.
It's only food.
A crisis is not having any to eat.
Freaking yourself out is silly, frankly.0 -

Don't forget to keep check of your fat intake too. Not only does ice cream pack a punch of sugar, it is also full of fat. I agree with the majority. If it is within your calorie intake, have your small serving of heaven. If it's going to send you over your count, you might want to really think about it. The other day, I was craving peach pie. My husband and I took a peach pie over to a friend's house for dinner. I ate a small slice and left the rest of the pie at their place. Now my craving for pie is gone! Maybe after you eat your treat, you can take the kids outside and play tag? Do something to burn those calories!0

What? You don't see the Grim Reaper over there with a scythe in one hand and an ice cream scoop in the other?0 -

Don't feel like a failure. It was a small serving (and the correct one at that!) of ice cream. You didn't eat the entire carton. Don't be down on yourself. Like I said -- you HAVE to enjoy your life too!0 -
