    Shock therapy? One less person eating ice cream, means just a little more for the rest of us.

    Like i have said, I have no problem with the actual eating of the ice cream, It fits with my daily goals. Its trying to break the habit of going to the shop and spending the MONEY on it each day and what i could do instead.

    Well if its chocolate your craving... You should try substituting with "Carob Powder". As for the icecream aspect, maybe you can trade in for some low fat Chocolate pudding or Jello. I know that the texture and chill isn't there but its a start. One more thing! Even a chocolate popsicle may help you out! And I don't believe the calories are that bad either...

    I say if you enjoy it and it fits into your daily calorie goal, then go ahead and indulge! :)

    If the money's the problem buy your own at the grocery store. It may not be identical but it's bound to be cheaper and (hopefully) still satisfy the craving.

    I get not wanting to be a slave to the habit, totally -- especially when it's costing you bucks you would rather spend elsewhere. The only thing you can do is bring something from home. What about a pudding cup or something?

    make something else to eat at that time instead from home, i always used to buy pastries for lunch at work, but then i started making my own lunch with salad and tuna and egg whites and now i just eat that instead. regardlesss of the fact you'd rather have ice cream, you'll eat what you brought it because it will just be there and would be a waste not to, then probably won't want anything extra, you don't have to entirley break the habit as such, just alter it :)

    I guess people didn't read the expensive BUDGET part because reading is hard.

    Bananas are 19 cents a piece at Trader Joe's which works out less per lb than most places.

    Stop bringing money to work. No money, no ice cream (if you need money for transt/parking bring exactly that amount). I used to work right beside a Tim Hortons. I rarely brought money or my bank card with me, as it was too easy to justify a pre-work snack.

    Buy yogurt (regular or greek) and freeze them. It tastes pretty good and satisfies cravings. You'll have to be at home though..

    I really suggest that you simply break the habit with will power. You don't need to supplement it. You aren't eating it because you are hungry. If you are able to overcome this, it will give you confidence to overcome the next temptation that is in your way. There is always going to be something that makes reaching your goals (financial, fitness, professional) challenging. This is simply ice cream and relatively easy to practice self-control and perseverance.
