Yesterday was my first MAJOR slip-up, food wise.

I ate WAY too much ice cream.  Couldn't stop, it tasted so good.  No more ice cream in this house.  It had been here for awhile and I rarely touch ice cream; it was never one of my triggers, but for some reason yesterday? OMG. 

But today I'm suffering the REAL results of a momentary lapse of sanity.

Carb cravings.

I will tough it out and persevere, and in fact, am on my way to the store to buy some cottage cheese (I'm out).

But it's not just the weight, people.  Not just the temporary loss of control.  It's the balance my body has achieved, the lack of hunger and cravings.

Live and learn, onward and upward!

(And because my body is perverse, I lost half a pound anyway.)

(Not complaining!)

Good for you gurl. Get the ice cream out of the house if it's a trigger for you. I cannot have a bag of cheetos in my house because it wouldn't last 2 seconds! We just gotta do what we gotta do.
Out of sight out of mind??? Maybe, maybe not. I still dream of gourmet cupcakes but it's a lot easier to not give into that temptation if it's not in the house.

Yeah, out of sight, out of mind works most of the time, and the farther out of sight, the better.

The problem -- and I just really realized this -- is that I don't really know when something like this will bite me.  I bought the ice cream Sunday because the family was here, and my son was going to take it with him because it's his favorite.  He forgot and it was still here.

On Sunday I ate a small amount--very small, maybe a couple of tablespoons.  Enjoyed it, end of subject.

Yesterday afternoon I wasn't stressed, wasn't upset about anything, had no obvious issues to explain why I'd be so susceptible.  I remembered the ice cream, thought I'd have a small amount again, and couldn't stop eating.  It tasted too good and I wanted more and more.  And of course it was melting and going straight through my stomach so my sleeve wasn't helping limit me, either!

It's GONE.  And won't be coming back.  Next time ice cream gets left behind it will go straight into the garbage can outside, and good riddance.

I had the same issue.... The problem with Ice Cream is it goes down too easy! I had to cut it out completely because I was starting to rely on it!
