A Letter to My Pop Tart

Dear Pop Tart,

I'm sorry to tell you that I will be taking a break from you for a while. It's not you, it's me. Actually, it's ice cream. I want more ice cream! You've been my cardio day treat for a while now, and you've taught me a valuable lesson in self-control, which I greatly appreciate. Between you and this post, http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/925464-fitting-it-in-giggity, I'm a much more conscientious logger. I know I don't have to eat your twin, and I can put it away until the next time. That's what baggies are for, right? Keep fighting the good fight.

Until we meet again,

Cupcake :heart:

    After a break up, the other party (pop tart) is usually much better and tries harder to please you. I see this as a win/win. You go girl - playing ice cream against pop tart.

    Seriously, nice message - probably the most important thing to learn - self control. :drinker:

    I was made to clean my plate when I was growing up, and it carried over into my adult life. Literally, I had to sit at the table and finish what was on my plate, or I got it for breakfast, lunch and dinner the next day until it was gone. It took a long time to realize why I had this need to eat EVERYTHING, and I had to change that. It's still a work in progress, but I have a pretty good handle on it now. My son bought mint Oreos. They were in the house for at least 2 weeks, and in that time I only ate one cookie, where I would've eaten an entire sleeve. That's progress!

    I had these for so long that they were actually expired! They last a lot longer when you only eat one, as does ice cream when your serving size is no longer "whatever will fit in the bowl".

    I wrote a letter similar like this to liver, beets, and parsnips and have never looked back

    Pop tarts are pretty awesome. They don't freezing when camping in the winter.

    I was wondering why there was a Pop-Tart on my front porch with suitcases full of gelato. Hope you don't mind, but he's shacking up at my place for awhile.

    Please take good care of him. He was a friend to me.

    When I broke up with mine in February it totally over reacted punched me in the eye and locked itself in the closet.

    That's actually a pretty funny visual. :laugh:

    I'll give you the best advice I've ever been given after a break up:

    The best way to get over somebody (or something) is to get under somebody (or something) else.

    Always worked for me, I hope it will work for you! Good luck with ice cream!

    Oh, ice cream and I go way back, but now I'm ready for more. No ragrets! Nawmsayin'? *wiggles eyebrows*

    Ok, that was a little creepy. :bigsmile: Thanks!

    Oh sure, just throw it in my face! :wink: Those are one of my favorites, actually. If you leave them in the toaster for a minute after the toaster turns off, they get a little crispy. Man, now I want one!

    Those are the only ones I like actually. Sorry :blushing:

    No need to apologize! It's a toss-up between those and the chocolate peanut butter for me. Oh, and the marshmallow hot chocolate, which I didn't see this year. And also the pumpkin pie. Ok, I'm done. Well, maybe the cookies & cream, too. :bigsmile:

    I know I keep joking about the Pop Tarts, but the point I was really trying to make is that there are people who say they can't control themselves around certain foods, so they exclude them from their diet, which can lead to an eventual bingefest. I was one of those people, I know firsthand. I'm actually Pop Tarted out, if you can believe it. I never thought I would say those words. The post I linked really helped me put it all in perspective.
