although i swore i would never ever be able to do it, cause i beleive that chocolate thing too, i was a big ice cream fanatic, straight from the box. and i was going overboard every night. i think it was a new med making me binge. but i put on seven pounds in a month. i had to do something so while still bingeing i just ate healthier things with reduced calories. like olive oil mayo having a third of the calories of regular. 45 calorie slices of bread instead of 110. but the big deal was.........i was able to switch out my ice cream for greek yogurt. my favorite is the dannon 80 calorie version and then i mix that with a couple scoops of vanilla sprinkled with a little go lean crisp...it has less calories than granola......it is so thick and creamy, it is like ice cream, just not as cold. you could even add fruit if you wanted. i dont because of the added calories. i am a horrible eater but now i am getting my calcium and protein every day, something that was lacking in my diet before.
