I really just want a banana cream pie %#$%^

Maybe just a slice would do? I LOVE banana cream pie!

Make one, slice it up, freeze the pieces you don't eat? Does that stuff freeze? o.O

I feel your pain!!! But you would feel tremendously guilty so how bout you eat a frozen banana w/ some light cool whip on a graham cracker. Same flavors, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy less calories!

I have a hard time with eating cake. It is like a "drug" to me. I can not have it for fear that it will set me off on a binge:( I just don't eat it, not even a bite. I have to be careful with other things like cookies and pie too but not nearly as bad as cake. I especially love banana flavored things. I have learned to make things that help me not crave the cakes. For instance, I had some greek yogurt with banana extract in it yesterday when I was craving that kinda thing. I am in love with the Atkin's protein shakes that are Banana Strawberry flavored too. Also, I use to make a "dessert" by taking a ripe banana and wrapping it really tightly in saran wrap and then freezing it. Then in a couple of days, I would chop it up and put a little Walden's chocolate syrup on it (Waldens chocolate syrup is nasty when it isn't on something else for some reason so you can always use another type sugar free low calorie chocolate syrup) and it is healthy and yummy. I can't do that very often due to Diabetes (too many carbs), but yummy!

It would prove that you havent taught yourself anything :sad:
Either make a healthier version and keep to one serving, or try some of them banana cream pie flavoured yogurts out there. theyr'e pretty yummers!

yes the banana creme pie lite yogurts actually taste pretty good and these are 80 cal vs the regular banana creme pie yogurt which is 160 cal

I wouldn't judge you, I'm pretty sure I ate half a bag of chips last week in one sitting. Sadly, I'm not talking about a single serve bag. On the plus side, at least it wasn't a Costco size bag! Chips are my down fall so I try not to have them in the house. It banana cream pie is like that for you, maybe find a local restaurant that has really good banana cream pie and sells it by the slice.

I don't think there's anything wrong with having a slice if it fits in your calories. But I would be careful about using food as a reward for weight loss...

I agree. I am trying to give up the guilt... if I truly, truly want something, then I will have it. I may wait a couple of days to make sure that cheesecake craving isn't a passing thing, but if I want it, I have it. I usually split it with my husband, though. If this healthy eating thing is a lifestyle for me, it's not going to work if I have to feel guilty for eating things that I want.
I also have a schedule of non-food rewards.
5-lbs was a pedicure
10 - lbs was new workout clothes
15 - lbs personal trainer (Still need to make that one happen)
20 lbs- I need to think of one
25 lbs - 30 lbs, new clothes.

1/2 A BANANA WITH 1/2 CUP OF VANILLA YOGURT AND SOME ALMONDS OR GRANOLA AND YOU WILL FEEL LIKE YOU ATE THE REAL THING......i PROMISE~


IT'S SO STINKIN GOOD!~

Buy the pie, invite friends/family over, share the pie. Have one slice and savor it... just my point of view.

You can have more pie again in a week or two. I just think if you eat the whole thing or half of it, you might feel guilty... and guilty pie doesn't taste as good.
