Hi everyone, I'd really like some help with this problem I have. The problem happens to be this…

It looks amazing right, what could be the issue here?

I've worked at Rita's Water Ice for the past 6 years and it never fails that as soon as I come in to start my shift I begin making my own tasty little creations. Granted they are tiny cups that I use, multiples of those cups really add up. I NEVER eat candy outside of work, and same with custard/ice cream/sweets. Rita's is pretty much the only unhealthy treat I eat but it doesn't help me to feel good and I am having trouble staying strong with the temptation lingering through an entire shift at work.

What can I do to resist temptation while I work around it all evening?

    Now you're ruining my life.

    I'm going to need to know exactly what that is so I can go to Rita's tonight and order it.

    :wink:

    unfortunately for you, I made it up and it's not on the menu. I put italian ice on the bottom custard in the middle and candies with hot fudge on top. The silly thing is I don't even crave the stuff after 6 years, it's just become such a habit to get to work and eat it that I do so regardless of whether or not I want it. ahh.

    Well I'm going to print out a photo along with your recipe, throw the guy behind the counter a $50 and tell him to keep them coming until I black out.


    But ok here's what you can try. You say it's just habit at this point. So break it. Come in to work with your own snacks all ready to eat. Anything would be healthier than pounding shots of custard and fudge all day...

    god I want that

    Anyway. Pack your own snacks and force yourself to eat those instead. Maybe that'll help.

    Gah, I try to do this then I just end up eating my healthy snacks and the custard. I'm telling you Rita's is addictive. But maybe if I bring in a frozen yogurt as my treat to eat instead of the custard. A healthy but similar alternative. Hmm.

    Thank you! :)

    My only suggestion is to make sure you fill up on healthy things before you go there, so there is no room to fit in these extras, lol.
    I speak from personal experience, I would inhale that stuff too unless I was already full of healthy food and lots of water. I am a total sugar/sweet things addict if I let myself have it.
