    I eat ice cream too - try churned ice cream (1/2 the fat) at 120 for a 1/2 cup. Or Sorbet.

    Work it into your day, or if you can't, take it as a teaching tool and start again tomorrow.

    I eat the Safeway "Eating Right" brand frozen yogurt. To me, the black cherry chocolate chip is almost better than ice cream! And only 90 calories per half cup serving! I also LOVE TCBY white chocolate mousse frozen yogurt!

    Don't fret! You ate the ice cream, I bet it was good, so just smile tomorrow is a new day. I eat ice cream too, I LOVE IT!! A friend of mine told me about Skinny Cow ice cream, I save some room in my calories just for a nice treat. You're working hard and deserve a treat, you ate 2 servings...NOT 2 PINTS. NO WORRIES!!

    I love ice cream. If I want it, I make it fit in my day. Lately, I love making my own frozen Greek yogurt...the protein and yummyness and making your own flavors is incredible.

    I try to plan for a modest portion of something I love and not to overdo it. And I don't plan to eat it every day. I also try to make choices on the day - well, I really indulged so later I will make sure to not indulge in something else.

    Moderation is my friend!

    Don't beat yourself up and enjoy it in moderation, and plan your calories around it.

    I brush my teeth, take a shower or chew gum. If that doesn't work, I eat some ice cream - usually Oreo Cookie.

    I walk two miles after dinner every evening just so that I can eat ice cream! I make sure I have at least 130 calories left after dinner so that I can at least have a half cup of plain vanilla ice cream. On days when I have tons of calories left, I can bump it up to a full cup, add fruit and fudge topping and have a nice little sundae, still within my calorie allowance! No need to feel guilty if you build it into your days calories!

    I eat ice cream about 5 times a week. It is my all time favorite thing to eat!!! I try to buy ice cream that is 120 calories or less for a half cup serving. That way if I eat a cup its still under 250 calories :) As with anything just eat in moderation and remember that you are making a lifestyle change. Are you NEVER gonna eat sweets again? Dont feel guilty over a small slip up, just get back at it tomorrow!

    I eat ice cream 3 or 4 times a week... usually the homemade kind with real cream, half and half and whole milk! And guess what...Not one morsel of guilt!!

    This is your life. You can eat anything you're willing to pay for (meaning exercising more or eating less of something else.)

    If you want it, make room for it. No need to feel guilty! :)

    Don't beat your self up. We didn't put this weight on us over night and it's coming off over night. It's progress. Blue Bunny yogurt ice cream or the skinny cow that TiaBia9 suggested

    I eat ice cream about once or twice per week...just make sure you build it into your daily intake, and don't do it every day. The best thing about mfp, is it teaches us to calculate. It's all about the calories. Eat what you enjoy, because you have to learn how to eat for the rest of your life, and I can't imagine you want that life to continue with NO ICE CREAM, I mean...that would stink!!! :frown:

    I ate ice cream tonight. After looking at my calories for the day I found I was 300 under. It was like a treat for doing well but I certainly don't torture myself over this. I probably would have eaten the ice cream anyway. I just get up and start again tomorrow. I am new at this along with some coworkers and just signed my husband up. You could always burn off the calories in a fun way...it doesn't have to be exercise. :-)

    I really wanted to have ice cream so I tried a frozen yogurt by blue bunny i think. It's vanilla and a half cup serving is only like 100 or so calories. It's simply delicious and pretty much guilt free. But on those times when I do go over on calories all I can do is try not to do it again, eat better the following days, and exercise. I find that if I start beating myself up for it I want to throw in the towel and would only eat worse. It's how I got to this weight in the first place. So enjoy your ice cream! :D
