    I love, love, love ice cream but find it so difficult to only eat 1/2 cup, especially when you have a pint.

    I love me my ice cream...
    Why? because I live in Texas.
    And I haven't gotten paid to go get any other frozen treats.
    because that candy bar will melt in the time it takes me to get home
    and that cookie will tempt me to eat more of them.

    For me, I see "Ice Cream" as a metaphor of sorts, the banner of "IIFYM." It's the battle cry that woke me up to the realization that, sure, eating my lean chicken breasts and salads are beneficial to losing weight (I can eat "a lot" for relatively lower calorie), but dang, sometimes we need something indulgent. We make it fit, moderate amounts, pre-logged and pre-planned. "Dieting" does not have to mean saying no to our little indulgent treats.

    For me, my "ice cream" is a McDonald's hamburger or a Taco Bell taco. I know, there's "better" tasting choices of treat food, but those are mine. I eat them (one at a sitting), fit them in my daily goal, and I lose weight and stay healthy just fine.

    OP--Oh, and if you ever do find "gelato" near you, pick up every pint you care to buy. It IS definitely an experience above plain ol' ice cream. It's very, very special. Just a little scoop is all you need--SOOOO decadent.

    I really don't know why. I just had some sugar free ice cream with honey graham cracker topping. I was so frustrated with my diet, and I think that actually brought me back to my senses. :laugh:

    I'd bet the majority of us ice cream lovers are women. :laugh:

    :laugh: I just find it so funny that I always see people enjoying their ice cream but I hardly ever read about someone eating a few cookies and milk. :ohwell: Must be a new macro set by the iifym team :tongue: you must have a daily allotment of ice cream with your carbs protein and fat :laugh:

    HAHAHAHAH! MFP: Fat? CHECK! Carbs? CHECK! Protein? CHECK! Ice Cream? CHECK!

    Because it's yummy.

    That being said, I also think brownies, cupcakes, donuts, & reese's cups are yummy.

    It's summer! Who doesn't want ice cream in July? I have made sure to save myself some calories for a little ice cream cup after dinner.

    Because where I live its winter now. Lol

    winter doesn't faze me. ice cream is delicious year round.

    I love "no sugar added" ice cream. Sugar-free cookies, not so much. There are some great sugar-free cookies, which I eat with my occasional serving of goat milk, but ice cream is just special.

    Good ice cream is like a little piece of heaven. I rarely eat ice cream out of the freezer in the supermarket but I love places that make their own... So much so that I will be opening my own ice cream place sometime this year. A few days ago I had jalapeno ice cream (amazing) at Herrell's in Northampton MA and while spending 2 weeks in Montreal I had cardamom kulfi ice cream pretty much every day and before that went to Toscanini in Cambridge MA and had ovaltine ice cream... Something about the texture, coldness, meltiness... Wish the closest ice cream place was opened right now.

    Ice creams alright. I like it, but I wouldnt go out of my way to be able to splurge on some.

    Now cookies, brownies and cake, oh man, those are my vice.

    Mine is because I used to have it as a rare treat before going to bed as a kid.......

    But sweets in general are my loves.

    Okay so I'm curious. I've seen a lot of posters, especially the iifym group, that just LOOOOOVE their ice cream. But now, I'm wondering, why ice cream? I mean what's so special?

    I'm not saying there's something wrong with it btw....but what about that candybar sitting on the shelves all by itself, or that poor lonely cookie on the sidewalk? Or is it just because ice cream has calcium?? Lol

    Why do you like ice cream more than cookies? :ohwell:

    Sometimes I prefer cookies. But 150 calories of ice cream is just more worth it to me than a couple small cookies.

    I'm not supposed to eat cookies because of gluten. So that's why I like ice cream. I also like that it's cold because I get hot flashes sometimes. I like to get nice and cold before bedtime, it helps me sleep. Nothing like a good bowl of ice cream before bed.

    Because ice cream is cold

    Which makes it refreshing when it's hot.

    The only thing that compares to ice cream in the summer is hot cocoa in the winter.

    Reality check.

    Third world country. No fancy low cal ice creams. Except the fruity pops that taste like nothing.... :noway:

    There you go. I wasn't obsessed with ice cream/gelato until I tried the "fancy" stuff. A tub of regular ice cream will sit in my fridge untouched for weeks. But I'll eat Talenti every.single.night.

    Sounds great. Unfortunately I doubt we will be able to find it here. But oh well. Overall I'd much rather eat the full fat regular ice creams than that fruity watery c***. Lol

    Umm... gelato is FAR from "fruity watery crap".... :noway:

    Also I make my own ice cream and that tastes far better than anything I ever bought in a store.

    I like ice cream and cookies... so the oreo's go IN my ice cream.

    For me the answer to the OP is simple. Sugars leave me feeling hungry. Fats leave me feeling full.

    Ice cream is a "junk food" that makes me feel full and stop eating. Cookies are not.

    I didn't say gelato was fruity crap. :ohwell: We don't even have gelato where I live. I was talking about those fruit pops.
