"The Great Ice Cream Fiasco"

[ducktapehero]

My wife and I decided we were gonna try and make some changes to get healthier. Trying to eat less fatty foods and more fruits and vegetable. Cut back on the smoking and the sweets. Well, a few days ago we went to buy some milk and the store had 4 big jugs of a decent brand of ice cream for 10 dollars. We knew we didn't need it, we knew we'd just gobble it all down in a few days but we were weak. We bought them.

Now I must tell you that I'm not very proud of what we did. We did, in fact, gobble it all down in a few days. And we did not need it. But OMG was it fun.  Now I feel all dirty and weak. I'm a weak man. I cannot resist temptation. Please, help me!!!!!! 

Will check replies later, going to store to get more ice cream.

It's a balancing act isn't it?  Longer, less tasty life vs. Shorter more flavorful life.    



I vote flavor.

Each time I buy a 500ml package of Haagen Dazs it never lasts more than 2 rounds of my attacks. So I'm with you, buddy.

I feel your pain DTH.  I try to limit myself to one pint a week, but that never works!

I figured y'all would understand. Why is good tasting food so bad for you? But we're not really looking at it as a "diet" because we're gonna try and change our lifestyles more than just try to lose some weight. Honestly I weigh about what I want but I definitely need to get healthier. Being disabled it's really easy to just sit on my ass and do nothing. Well, the fact is I'm gonna hurt regardless so I might as well hurt while I'm doing something constructive and/or something fun like spending time with my 5 year old.

But we're gonna make the changes slow, if we get too drastic I'm afraid we'll fail but if we just slowly try to work healthier changes in we'll have a better chance of success.

But the blond brownies my wife made a couple of days ago reminded me how weak I truly am.
