So...my weakness is ice cream! I absolutely LOVE it!!! :love: I usually cave in any time that it's offered. Well...today my sisted offered to bring me a Shamrock Shake to work (ya know the ones from McDonalds that they serve around St. Pattys Day...:heart: YUMMY:heart: ) And I said NO! Can you believe it?!?! I hardly can! I absolutely LOVE them!!! Like...could die for them!!!!!! I'm crazy! So, let's just say that I am so WAY proud of myself that I had to share. Trust me, if you had any idea how bad my love for ice cream is, you'd understand! So...just thought I'd share on my small success!!! I still can't believe I said no!!!:blushing:

    Don't get me wrong...I do still indulge. I will sacrafice many other calories throughout the day so I can get a small blizzard from Dairy Queen every once and a while. (We can't have boxed ice cream in the house because I will seriously eat it all, so I just allow myself to get a single ice cream every now and again). This is just the first time I've said no to a spur of the moment offer. Yeah for me!!!

    All I can say is Thank God for Blue Bunny No Sugar Added Ice Cream!! Sounds like it would be horrible but it is shockingly good, doesn't have a funny texture like some of the "diet" ice creams do. I haven't looked in awhile to know the calories... but weight watchers points wise it is 1 point per serving vs. 3 pts for regular ice cream! Definitely helps me feel like I am cheating without the guilt later!!!

    Good job resisting the temptation altother though!!

    I love ice cream so much!!! But I find lower fat and cal options. There are some good ones out there, you just have to try them all.

    My weakness are Steak n Shake milk shakes but I looked up how many calories are in them and it's more than I consume for lunch and dinner!!! :noway:

    Good job! I know what you mean about ice cream. I love the peppermint stuff they only put out at Christmas and I always tell myself. "it's ok, It's only once a year!"

    So kudos for you cause that's exactely what I would have told myself about the yummy green shake!

    My weakness is the jamoca shakes from Arby's. AAAAAAA I used to work at Pizza Hut and we had one right next door and I lived on shakes and pizza for five years. Good for you for saying no. We CAN succeed when we let our desire to be fit be more important than a temporary treat. Two flowers for you. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    and one more for figuring out you can have your cake and eat it too, even when it's ice cream. :flowerforyou:
