It all started because I was HOT!

by Ann

I got into ‘occasionally’ having an ice cream treat, because it was so hot outside. An ice cream cone or a homemade ice cream sandwiche or even bites out of the carton was just what I needed on a hot afternoon. Then I needed it before I went to bed. Then instead of occasionally, I wanted one or even two treats a day.
It was really hot, ya know!?! 

Soon I began to crave the creamy coldness of ice cream. I would dream about its creamy cold feeling in my mouth, sliding down my throat chilling me all over..vanilla bean, coffee, strawberry…

UMMMM….Ice cream and chocolate!

These tasty treats soothed me through the hot summer days in Texas.

Now, it’s cooler, but I am still hooked on the habit. I think I need it!  I want it! I have to have it!

I workout all the time. So, it’s not harming me. Is it?!? Besides, I deserve a treat!

Ah! Oh! I’ve gained some weight. Now, how’d that happen? But I still crave the ice cream. I’ll just workout more! Only, I’d rather eat ice cream!

The ice cream! The chocolate…the yum….

One more bite!

Just one more bite! Then I quit! Cold Turkey! I can do it! I know I can!

I’ll cut out sweets. I’ll eat right again and move more! I will be okay! I will get passed this! I will! I know that I will!

Can anyone relate?!?!
