So I did really well yesterday and today, but when I got home tonight he decided he reeeally wanted ice cream. It's one of those things that I can't say no to...so I had some and I'm feeling very heavy and low right now. Tomorrow's a new day right? I need to learn to just say no to ice cream! :grumble:

    I can sympathize with you. At the beginning of each week I say that we're not going to eat out. Then sooner or later my husband suggests going somewhere for dinner and of course I say yes b/c I have little or no will power. It's very frustrating.

    Hmm, sounds familiar. My friends wanted to go eat dinner last night, and we ended up at a Chinese Buffet. Needless to say, ice cream was dessert. Splurging once in a while isn't terrible :). Just makes us work that much harder tomorrow =D

    Don't beat yourself up. One serving of ice cream won't ruin you. In fact, for me, no foods are off limits. Measure your ice cream and enjoy it. OH! and don't feel guilty. :flowerforyou:

    Yeah, ice cream is definitely my weakness too. Instead of giving it up completely, try getting either a "small" ice cream, or even a kiddie size. That's what I did with the Shamrock shake from McDonalds..that is my absolute favorite thing! So, I still got to enjoy it, but in moderation..and actually, it was just enough!

    we all have things that we should just say no to ,my nutritionist told me not to deprive myself if i want icecream eat it but trick myself into it ex.if i wanted icecream i had to get a teaspoon and scoop the icecream on it .then i had to get at least 10 bites off it by the time i was finished that was work and geesh!!! a lot of it i learned to be satisfied with just a little bit try it see if it helps you

    Yeah, I'd say it's pretty much impossible for me to give it up completely. It's my will power that I need to work on :) Thanks for the kind words...it's nice to know I'm not the only one :blushing:

    I have been so good for 3 months, and then my weight stopped coming off for a couple of weeks, then on Sunday, I was bad and had cake and appetizers and my brothers house! Felt so guilty!!! Reluctantly got on the scale on Monday and lost a pound!! I think my body just wanted a little junk!

    I understand what you mean. My Boyfriend is on this site as well, but trying to GAIN weight. Yes, you can use this website to gain weight by recording. I eat 1,200 calories a day while he is eating at least 4,000. It's hard, but he understands my goals and I understand his... ask him to be supportive and there are options for ice cream...which is my weakness. They have great ice cream bars on the market that are very low in calorie. My favorite is a fudge popsicle for 45 calories! Yummy... Good luck.

    I know how you feel. My boyfriend doesnt need to lose weight and can drink & eat what ever he wants whenever he wants. I had to stop drinking beer and he still drinks beer. I cant eat cheese cake and he still eats it. I seen this program were you hold your thumb & middle finger tightly and think of really gross things on the ice cream. Like worms, cig butts, hair from floor etc. Then every time you see this food you hold your thumb & middle finger and think these gross things. Then on the right hand you hold the thumb & middle finger and think of really really pleasant things.

    Yah, I understand. I came home today and my husband had bought four ginormous boxes of whoppers and hot tamales. Ok, well after being so good and not eating a lot of sweets, I nearly had a stroke bc I LOVE whoppers! Mean, mean man. :devil: So, I'm 200some over my calories ( a serving size of whoppers and some tamales too!) But, at least I didn't eat the whole box, which is SO what I would have done before!!!
    Tomorrow is a new day!:flowerforyou:
