Congratulations, Alffe!
You know, I think it helps me stick to my healthy eating plan when I allow myself a small treat now and then. I've learned that I don't have to have a huge bowl of ice cream.......a couple of spoonfuls is adequate and satisfies my craving. If I have a big bowl of it I'm going to finish it..,.,whether I'm hungry or not!
Sadly, ice cream doesn't agree with my tummy any longer so I pay the price when I eat it. Guess it's a good thing. Makes it easier to resist!
Do you find that you're hungrier throughout the day if you eat early in the day? I'm never hungry until afternoon so I usually just have Activia and coffee in the AM. Yesterday I ate a Healthy Choice entree about 11 AM and I was hungry all day.
Good luck to everyone else who is on the diet bandwagon!
