    Grab a yogurt and put some chocolate chips and brown sugar in it. Tastes like cookie dough.

    Okay imagine some disgusting bugs have crawled all over it--covered with ants. Now do you want it?

    the mind is so strong. You can do this!

    You didn't eat any did you? You will feel sssssooooooo quilty if you do. This work is way to hard to throw it away on one thing. Just remember....nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!

    and depriving the things that you like will ONLY make crave more down the road (been there done that 2 years ago)... I like it better this time as I don't NOT eat anything - I eat anything I want ... I think I have had either apple or pumpkin pie every day this week :)

    Skinny won't feel good at all if you can't sit down and enjoy ice cream (or oreos for that matter).

    Why would you want to be "skinny" anyway? Oh well, each to their own. I'm going for "strong" myself.

    My boyfriend just came back with a Peanut Butter Ben and Jerry's and I WANT IT. Quick, somebody say something to stop me eating it!
    When faced with temptation, I find it helps to imagine that I've just given in and eaten it. How do I feel? Not very good.

    Eat a little, then lift some weights and do squats or whatnot for an hour.

    Definitely portion control. If the whole container has 1,000 calories, with four servings that's 250 calories per serving. That's pretty standard for killer-good ice cream.

    Does it work in your calorie allowance for today?

    If not, are you willing to go over your calorie allowance and tomorrow eat a bit less or exercise a bit more?

    Remember- losing weight and maintaining weight is not about giving up the foods you love, it's about portion control. It's about changing your lifestyle and not giving up those foods you love.

    P.S. Notice how I said "not giving up the foods you love" twice in that last paragraph? :bigsmile:

    Have you been actually diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes?

    Yep, you'd think that would be enough to put me off right? Just another case of 'Can't have, want it more.'

    Oh. Please disregard my dissertation on portion control and get the heck away from the freezer. :bigsmile:
