I hear you re having just one, or having it in the house is too big of a temptation. I found ICE (brand name) drinks, sugar free fizzy, as you call them, has been curing my cravings. I hate artificial sweeteners but have found taking 3 or 4 sips every time I crave sugar generally works for me, and I am/was a sugarholic. I also have ice pops in the freezer for the grandkids and had one the otger day when it was 89F. It hit the spot and cooled me down, along with a frozen dish towel I keep in the freezer during the summer.

You could always watch a bunch of documentaries and try and convince yourself to become vegan?
It really does cut down on your junk food options when you have to care about cows feelings!😄(and they have created some bloody lovely sounding Magnum flavours the last few years, sadly im not allowed any of them).

I’m being dense - your DS offers you a bowl of ice cream and you eat it. How does that help?

No @pinkdelight you are not being dense, that of course was me.
I can't believe I wrote that, I think where I was going with that was to say that DS offers me ice cream, but if I brush my teeth early to save time later, I find that I don't want to eat the ice cream.
It's so confusing even I don't understand how I could have missed correcting myself 🙄Soz!

Just buy the ice cream - you aren't magically going to balloon in weight.
