Just say no to...

[bykerdruid]

...ice cream sundaes. The office is having a summer sundae social and they've got ice cream and all the toppings in the break room. And ice cream is like my ultimate weakness food. I can turn down cake, cookies, brownies, almost any pie... But ice cream?

And I was thinking just a little while ago, that since it's a work thing, and they have all the toppings (Smucker's no less...oooooo my), I might just have one small, inky dinky, tiny sundae. And when I saw the caramel topping and cherries....***droool*** I wanted one sooooooooooo bad.

But I hadn't had lunch so I knew I had to eat my chef salad before I had desert. I was going to come on the board and ask for support, to get someone to help me say no. But surprisingly enough, as I ate my salad I got over the craving for the ice cream. Yes, it looks mighty tasty, but my body looks mighty lumpy. So...I'm just going to say NO to an ice cream sundae.

What is your ultimate "just say no" food?

Re: Just say no to...

Oh, Oriental food. O love Oriental food. I don't really know the difference between Thai and Chinese, but I do know one of my fav eating places is the Chinese Buffet. We do go there still, but I don't have the rice, breaded meats or such. There are several dishes I can eat there so I don't have to go without Chinese. Just be advised, to any who wonder, Chinese food has many many hidden carbs. Most of their sauces have sugars in them. If it's the least bit sweet, it's got sugar=carbs. Even spicey foods have sugars.

And movie theater popcorn? OMG! Good thing we don't go to the theater much. We have a 53" HDTV so we usually wait for movies to come out on DVD then rent them. If I go to the theater, the smell of the popcorn is just too much. It's definately on my list of "hard to say no to" foods!

For me, it's Mac n Cheese. For some reason, this is always my atkins undoer. But Im learning some ways to get the flavors and textures that I want, and I found ways around it. Now Movie Popcorn is a killer. Especially sitting with hubby and son listening to them crunch. I finally learned to take in a small bag of jerky with me.

Re: Just say no to...

Anything with PEANUT BUTTER.
Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia.
If Cherry Garcia isn't available -- Chubby Hubby or OMG the Creme Carmel one.
or Haagan Daaz Coffee.
You can see why I can't keep ice cream in the house!

Wow, ummm Breyer's mint chip ice cream..... sugary breakfast cereal....... and oddly enough, Ritz crackers. Now why would Ritz crackers be my undoing? Ha! Also - I have discovered I can't resist any temptation after having several glasses of wine!

Re: Just say no to...

I love ice cream.. It was my childhood goodie. It's been a part of my life for years.. And not just in a passive "I want to eat it sort of way".. No I make my living from Ice cream.. That's right I'm the local pusher. I own two Baskin Robbins ice cream stores.. I was a two scoop a day gal for years.. 33 years to be exact. But now I'm selling the stores and starting a new life with my new husband and It seems like a time to drop all my ice cream weight.

I admire your strength at not eating at the office party... I can totally understand it. Working in the stores day after day I get to craving it so badly that there are times I just have to leave. After 33 years you'd think I'd be over it... But it's so good.. I don't think I'll ever be over my love affair with ice cream.. I'll just be smart about it and make my own from whole cream and splenda.. Though not that often. I don't crave it as much when i can't smell it..

My other trigger foods, pop corn, bread, pasta and chocolate..
