Yes. I ate ice cream. On purpose.

Sep 10, 2012

I did not go into this process with the mindset or intent of "never" eating "xyz" ever again. I think that's a great way to psych yourself out and to set yourself up for failure.

Sunday afternoon I got a hankering for my favorite ice cream - salted caramel - from my favorite hand-made gourmet ice cream place. So hubby and I went and each had a child's cup of what we wanted. The child's serving size is a little scoop about the size of a jawbreaker candy. It was DELISH!!! I ate it slowly and savored it and when I was done, I was done.

Even pre-op that would not have sent me off the deep end binging on a quart or more of ice cream. I don't really have a sweet tooth.

It was a super nice treat that had nothing to do with rewarding myself for anything, or eating over anything.

Physically my stomach tolerated it very well but my lower GI tract let me know that a little dairy now goes a long way. lol
