quitting....

Skinny Cow Ice Cream and then you satisfy your craving and stay on your diet!

So, eat some ice cream today and get back on track tomorrow. If you slip on the ice in the winter do you sit there forever, or do you get up and try again? We all slip now and then---just get back on track.

Don't quit and don't get frustrated. You just need to satisfy your sweet tooth! If you keep denying yourself you will fail. I agree with the previous post...try Skinny Cow Ice cream and you can have what you want without the calories. :-) Have you tried decreasing some of your carbs if you are at a standstill? Or better yet trying a new exercise. Plateaus can be wicked frustrating!

If you set a goal for yourself, then you know you really do want to reach that goal. If you stop anywhere before it, then you are only shortchanging yourself. But think of it as dropping out of college when you only have a few credits shy of graduation... don't you wanna kick its butt and be proud of yourself for doing it?

DON'T QUIT! And DO have some ice cream. There are some great, healthy choices out there so don't deprive yourself. Good Luck! :flowerforyou:

theres a little voice in my ear today (i think its my sweet tooth!) telling me I should quit and just be happy at 2/3 of the way to my goal weight.

If I quit now I'll look *ok* .... I'm bang in the middle of recommended weight range - not fat or thin, just average.

If I keep going I'll be slim.

what to do? I just really want some ice cream today I think and haven't lost anything for 10 days or so, so am just a bit sick of it at this stage :blushing:

So Girl! Go eat some icecream and simply fit it into your day. No reason to quit because you want a treat. :flowerforyou: We all have moments when we want to quit doing things in life. But really, quitting isn't the answer, if you're ok with your weight, simply slip over to maitenance and go from there. Then it wouldnt' be quitting.:drinker:

Enjoy the icecream . You could buy a single serving in any grocery store, even the real thing, forget the skinny cow fake stuff (ok, I eat it on occasion but if you really WANT icecream today, I'd recommend you plan in the REAL THING so you don't feel cheated)!

Have some ice cream but don't "quit". . .you may be at a healthy weight range and look good right now and that's GREAT. . .I'm proud of you for getting so far!! But if you QUIT you may end up being back at square one because after all this is a lifestyle change. . .so you can treat yourself once in a while without quitting!! Good luck

Thanks everyone :bigsmile:

I'm on a quite strict diet (dukan) and I'm just having a whiney moment I guess. I feel better now, thanks a lot

Maybe I will have a wee scoop of ice cream then take the dogs for a long walk.

If you are smack in the middle of of 'recommended weight range' and you look to be at a good weight, stop. Why do you think you need to loose any more than recommended?

The recommended "healthy weight range" for my height is 141 - 113lbs so its a BIG range. I'm aiming for 119lbs. I feel I'll look slim but not skinny at that weight and my "magic jeans" fit at that weight too. :laugh:

whoa...that is kinda low! You'll probably better know how you feel as you get down a bit more, I keep changing my goal so I'm not 100% where I'll end up either. I don't wanna be boney but would like to be healthy looking and toned.

You can do it. I am kind of stuck to. I'm 10 pounds from my dream goal. I think I look ok, pretty good, friends say, "You don't need to lose anymore." But if I want to look great then I need to focus and do everything right to lose the last 10. My percent of belly fat is also to much which is a health risk. You have come so far, you can do it! Just refocus and think about the image of yourself that you want to achieve! I'm pulling for you. PS Don't let a little ice cream get the way of your dream!

I like this!

You know, a kid sized vanilla cone at McDonald's or something like that is really low in calorie. Plus, I like it when I need something on the go. Even on the way home from the gym.

I did not read everyones replies. So if this is a repeat my apologies. Better health is a lifetime change! When a person makes better food choices in a balanced way the weight starts to go down. NO ONE EATS 100% PERFECT, NOT JILLIAN, NOT TONY HORTON - NO ONE!!! What they do is eat and exercise correctly predominately most of the time. If anyone doesn't think Jillian kicks it up a notch right before it's time to film to be in the best shape, you are living in "lala" land.

If you feel having ice cream is going to destroy that reevaluate your idea of better health. If all week you ate and exercised right, how can a serving of ice cream ruin that? Make a decision"on the weekends I'll have my favorite dessert". Or I'll only eat my favorite dessert 1x a week. Or" I miss potato chips, I'll allow myself 1 small 16 oz bag each week to nibble on. "

Why not experiment? You might find if you increase your calories you will not gain weight because of your exercise and healthy eating. Maybe you will continue to loose weight!! ( I saw someone said you are eating like 1000 calories, I was eating about 1100 and not going anywhere I experimented and increased to 1480 calories and lost 2lbs in 8 days.) Better health should not be burden, it should make us feel good about ourselves and happy!!!

I HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO MAKE A GOOD DECISION FOR YOURSELF!!
