    I brush my teeth, take a shower or chew gum. If that doesn't work, I eat some ice cream - usually Oreo Cookie.

    I walk two miles after dinner every evening just so that I can eat ice cream! I make sure I have at least 130 calories left after dinner so that I can at least have a half cup of plain vanilla ice cream. On days when I have tons of calories left, I can bump it up to a full cup, add fruit and fudge topping and have a nice little sundae, still within my calorie allowance! No need to feel guilty if you build it into your days calories!

    I eat ice cream about 5 times a week. It is my all time favorite thing to eat!!! I try to buy ice cream that is 120 calories or less for a half cup serving. That way if I eat a cup its still under 250 calories :) As with anything just eat in moderation and remember that you are making a lifestyle change. Are you NEVER gonna eat sweets again? Dont feel guilty over a small slip up, just get back at it tomorrow!

    I eat ice cream 3 or 4 times a week... usually the homemade kind with real cream, half and half and whole milk! And guess what...Not one morsel of guilt!!

    This is your life. You can eat anything you're willing to pay for (meaning exercising more or eating less of something else.)

    If you want it, make room for it. No need to feel guilty! :)

    Don't beat your self up. We didn't put this weight on us over night and it's coming off over night. It's progress. Blue Bunny yogurt ice cream or the skinny cow that TiaBia9 suggested

    I eat ice cream about once or twice per week...just make sure you build it into your daily intake, and don't do it every day. The best thing about mfp, is it teaches us to calculate. It's all about the calories. Eat what you enjoy, because you have to learn how to eat for the rest of your life, and I can't imagine you want that life to continue with NO ICE CREAM, I mean...that would stink!!! :frown:

    I ate ice cream tonight. After looking at my calories for the day I found I was 300 under. It was like a treat for doing well but I certainly don't torture myself over this. I probably would have eaten the ice cream anyway. I just get up and start again tomorrow. I am new at this along with some coworkers and just signed my husband up. You could always burn off the calories in a fun way...it doesn't have to be exercise. :-)

    I really wanted to have ice cream so I tried a frozen yogurt by blue bunny i think. It's vanilla and a half cup serving is only like 100 or so calories. It's simply delicious and pretty much guilt free. But on those times when I do go over on calories all I can do is try not to do it again, eat better the following days, and exercise. I find that if I start beating myself up for it I want to throw in the towel and would only eat worse. It's how I got to this weight in the first place. So enjoy your ice cream! :D

    Ice cream is my go-to treat. I try to make it fit in my daily plan. If you go over, go for a walk or ride your bike. Can't take ALL of the good thinks away. Enjoy it!

    My husband is the ice cream eater in our family. I picked up his favorites and looked for something for me for when I do want some. I have just had my first Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle and I'm in love! It was heavenly. I will be saving 100 calories for this treat more often.

    Since I don't keep ice cream in the house, I now have no choice but to grab some frozen custard tomorrow.

    When I get a craving I count to 100, brush my teeth, and drink a glass of water. If that doesnt help I get out the almond milk and chocolate protein mix for a chocolaty guilt free treat

    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. :)

    second that motion!

    This is the first time a diet is working for me without me feeling deprived. If I want something I eat it. I just count my calories. I guess when I hit a big plateau I will probably change that but in the mean time it is working.
