Ok. I am feeling not so great here. I just ate two servings of icecream. What do you guys do when your craving something like icecream? To me, there is no substitute.

    you eat the ice cream. and if it wasnt in the calorie plan for the day, you start again tomorrow. dont beat yourself up over it. we are all human and none of us are always going to be perfect so dont try to be!! stay focused and continue on.

    I eat ice cream. I can usually fit it into my calories. Ice cream is yummy. I certainly don't feel guilty about it. I ate some today even.

    Eat Skinny Cow ice cream. They have pints of ice cream, fudge bars, cones, and Oreo sandwiches. The Oreo sandwiches taste great and are only 150 calories each. :)

    Why the frowny face for eating ice cream? Nothing wrong with eating ice cream everyday if it fits in your cals

    Eat the icecream! Haha, two 1/2 cup servings are probably only around 350 cals depending on the type of icecream. That won't ruin your progress

    Because I love popcorn - I build it into my calories every day. No guilt, no cravings for something I "can't" have.

    Hey today I had a personal pizza and ice cream! So don't feel bad.

    What I do feel guilty about is the crumb cake ...that I only ate half of.

    I just had some Ben & Jerry's S'mores ice cream...only half a serving tonight, it fit my calories and made me happy. It's not worth feeling guilty or sad about...

    I just had a milkshake

    1/2 serving of Banana Nut flavored protein
    2 tbsp. PB2
    1 serving sugar free vanilla pudding mix
    1/2 cup cottage cheese
    water
    ice

    Tastes SO good. I have one almost every night and it satisfies my sweet tooth before bed. :)

    I have some and count it in the calories. If this is a lifestyle change you have to count the normal foods also. Just eat healthier meals....

    I ate girl scout cookies today. And they fit in my calorie budget, and if they hadn't I would have gotten up and burned them off. And if I didn't have time or energy to burn them off then by god I still ate them and enjoyed them.

    You gotta live. In moderation.

    I eat it and enjoy it and add it to my calories. The other day I ate a whole bag of gluten free chocolate covered pretzels. They were delicious and I didn't feel the least bit guilty. I think I went over a bit on my calories that day, but I don't do that every day so to me it is okay.

    I eat ice cream too - try churned ice cream (1/2 the fat) at 120 for a 1/2 cup. Or Sorbet.

    Work it into your day, or if you can't, take it as a teaching tool and start again tomorrow.

    I have fallen in love with Krogers Private selection Summer Raspberry Sorbet. Soooo yummy! I try to make sure to fit 1/2 cup in my daily cals at least 3 times a week!

    I eat the Safeway "Eating Right" brand frozen yogurt. To me, the black cherry chocolate chip is almost better than ice cream! And only 90 calories per half cup serving! I also LOVE TCBY white chocolate mousse frozen yogurt!

    Don't fret! You ate the ice cream, I bet it was good, so just smile tomorrow is a new day. I eat ice cream too, I LOVE IT!! A friend of mine told me about Skinny Cow ice cream, I save some room in my calories just for a nice treat. You're working hard and deserve a treat, you ate 2 servings...NOT 2 PINTS. NO WORRIES!!

    I love ice cream. If I want it, I make it fit in my day. Lately, I love making my own frozen Greek yogurt...the protein and yummyness and making your own flavors is incredible.

    I try to plan for a modest portion of something I love and not to overdo it. And I don't plan to eat it every day. I also try to make choices on the day - well, I really indulged so later I will make sure to not indulge in something else.

    Moderation is my friend!

    Don't beat yourself up and enjoy it in moderation, and plan your calories around it.
