Thanks for getting back to me about the "Wellness Center" KathieI. I really do appreciate it! Now I have an idea of what it costs. Does anyone know about the Spa that's in TV? I heard it's really nice and that you are treated like a queen for the day? I think it would be a nice place for me to take my daughter when she visits. What do you think?

Oh Halle,

I wish I could say I am over my guilt, but its still there big as life, just like my butt!

I heard it taskes 2 0r 3 days for the fat to settle into your body and put the weight on. So I keep staring at my thighs and I swear there is more cellulite now then before I ate the icecream and my clothes seem tighter now. It wasant worth it!!! I dont even like Butter Pecan very much. There is no justifying this. I will just have to walk around fat and guilty for awhile. I hope I learned a lesson from this. :sigh:

You are tooooo funny!! I've never done that but I can guarantee you, you're not alone. One little slip does not a disaster make. Your own quote says basically that "love conquers all"...so just love yourself enough to say "hey, I enjoyed that ice cream and I deserved that ice cream and today I'll eat healthier". Give yourself permission to ENJOY and then just do it.

I have to say I have never done that with Ice creme BUT only because I have some Lactose problems.....now pies or brownies...YES I have to admit I have eaten the whole thing:icon_hungry::icon_hungry: I have even gone so far as to make Lemon Bars BECAUSE none of my family likes them:pepper2::pepper2::pepper2:

I just love this thread! It means I have so much company. My MO is a bit different -- I'm just cleaning up the edges you see. Pies are specially prone to needing their edges cleaned. You just have to take a clean spoon and scrape off all the fruit that has seeped out so it is nice and neat. If you put the spoon in the dishwasher, presto the kitchen is in great shape. But 5 minutes later the pie is a mess again, so you have to get another spoon and ... After about 3 times of this, the crust has collapsed so now you need to take a knife and cut off the collapsed edges. But the seeping continues so yet another spoon. Unfortunately this continues until there are no clean utensils to be had and no pie left. Sigh. Just more of me to love.

Hi Chelsea,

Uh oh.....I hope you like Graeter's ice cream a lot. I bet you will. Maybe it will turn out to be your favorite ever. I hope you ordered at least one of the chocolate chip flavors.

But what's this I hear about running? Running! RUNNING! Uh oh. Uh oh. Uh oh. I am in trouble.

But Chelsea, here's the deal. Really. I use Graeter's ice cream for medicinal purposes only. It is a wonderful stress reliever. And last week was such a stressful week.

(And please don't ask about how that V8 thing, that I went on and on about here, went last week. Graeter's does not have V8 as one of their flavors.)

Remember when I told all about how I am writing a diet book, inspired by the words of Scarlett O'Hara. I am calling the book The Fiddle-Dee-Dee Diet -- "Tomorrow Is Another Day."

I am really, really good at my diet, been on it forever, and so maybe it is time to share it with the world.

I have been doing more research lately. I might do an entire chapter on Graeter's ice cream. About its medicinal properties you know. Of course, that's it. Medicinal purposes only.

But Wait! -- I think I already did. I wrote that whole chapter. Just last week. Including last night. Ohhhhh, Fiddle-Dee-Dee. Tomorrow is another day. (And Nonie, it's still OK.)

Not only medicinal, but ice cream is probably one of the main food groups...isn't it?!?:shrug::a20:

Each time you dunk the spoon into the container is a calorie burning effort and you were working while you ate. Honest to Pepsi, the world did not come to an end, no one is dead as a result of these actions. I hope that you enjoyed it and that this is not a daily event cuz THEN you'd feel poorly as well. Good to the last drop, I hope. LIGHTEN UP. We are only here for a visit. Splurge sometimes. I hope you are ok and that this is not just a way to legitimize a habit. The only one we fool is ourselves. I LOVE chocolate and coffee. YUM.

old thread
 

HI Ronzroni, Not sure but did you realize this thread has come to life after a couple of years? See the date in the upper left hand corner...it is at least 3 years old. So don't worry about poor Nonie....she is still not eating that ice cream!

No nie. Sounds like a great night to me. Think of it this way. If you died in your sleep wouldn't you be glad you finished the ice cream

What you ladies need is a good diet- The Oreo Diet. It will help you deal with all the stress that builds up during the day.

Instructions for Stress Diet
BREAKFAST:
1/2 grapefruit
1 slice whole wheat toast
8 oz. skim milk

LUNCH:
4 oz. lean broiled chicken breast
1 cup steamed spinach
1 cup herb tea
1 Oreo cookie

MID-AFTERNOON SNACK:
The rest of Oreos in the package
2 pints Rocky Road ice cream, nuts, cherries and whipped cream
1 jar hot fudge sauce

DINNER:
2 loaves garlic bread
4 cans or 1 large pitcher Coke
1 large sausage, mushroom and cheese pizza
3 Snickers bars

LATE EVENING NEWS:
Entire frozen Sara Lee cheesecake (eaten directly from freezer)
RULES FOR THIS DIET:
1. If you eat something and no one sees you eat it, it has no calories.
2. If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar, the diet soda cancels out the calories in the candy bar.
3. When you eat with someone else, calories don't count if you do not eat more than they do.
4. Food used for medicinal purposes NEVER counts, such as hot chocolate, brandy, toast and Sara Lee Cheesecake.
5. If you fatten up everyone else around you, then you look thinner.
6. Movie related foods do not have additional calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one's personal fuel. (Examples: Milk Duds, buttered popcorn, Junior Mints, Red Hots and Tootsie Rolls.)
7. Cookie pieces contain no calories. The process of breaking causes calorie leakage.
8. Things licked off knives and spoons have no calories if you are in the process of preparing something.
9. Foods that have the same color have the same number of calories. (Examples: spinach and pistachio ice cream; mushrooms and mashed potatoes.)
10. Chocolate is a universal color and may be substituted for any other food color.
11. Anything consumed while standing has no calories. This is due to gravity and the density of the caloric mass.
12. Anything consumed from someone else's plate has no calories since the calories rightfully belong to the other person and will cling to his/her plate. (We ALL know how calories like to cling!)
Remember, "stressed" spelled backwards is "desserts."

uuuuummmmm original post was in 09....I am sure nONIE is not still checking this one out. Cute post tho LoveThoseBigDogs.

I read somewhere that is you close your eyes when you are eating...there are no calories!! :laugh:

You're going to be ok. Dont be too hard on yourself and incorporate small lifestyle changes. Your body is quite forgiving.
