  • Great insight from everyone.

    I posted this yesterday and what did I do last night? DARN PIZZA

    All is not lost, I'm getting back on track today.
  • I think it helps that my ex buys mint and other fruity flavors I'm not into. I tried the skinny cow and haven't really been tempted. Its the hagen daz ones that cause me problems. I won't go into to details, but its one flavor I have an issue with now that I think about it. I was a little turned off when I realized the hagen daz ones were basically eating 1/4 of a pint. That helped saying no a little easier.

    Quote: My poor hubby is limited to ice cream flavors like mint and banana....things I would never eat if I was on a desert island so I won't be tempted. At least he likes them.
    I tried those mini Skinny Cow ice creams - they are great after 3 or 4....so I don't buy them anymore
  • Quote: I also do not allow myself to be alone with the pizza. Sounds ridiculous - like the pizza can get me or something - but I cannot be trusted. So if it is in the house, I am not to be alone in the kitchen until it is out of the house.
    This is just it, right? Because you would never eat the whole pizza in front of someone.. so being alone is what its all about. I need to find the internal willpower to step away from the pizza/cake/cookie whatever. I need to start thinking like Ive already lost it, instead of seeing the long road ahead.
  • this is all so me. And sometimes it takes days for the "all" part of all or nothing to subside.
