What is it about nighttime and ice cream?
I’m a relatively healthy eater during the day. I do my share of biking, misc. cardio and working out to hopefully slow down the case of flabbies that I’m starting to see (ok, I’ve been seeing it for years now, cut me some slack), but somewhere between the hours of 9pm – 11pm, the freezer starts calling my name. And I don’t mean just a faint whisper, I mean a full blown, “YO WOMAN, THERE’S YUMMY MOOSE TRACKS WITH YOUR NAME ALL OVER IT” kind of beckoning. Hell, scrap beckoning, it’s like an invisible magnetic force and I’m a giant paperclip! Do you feel me?
I’m not the kind of person who starves herself all day, nibbling at a couple of lettuce leaves so that by the time the evening rolls around, I’m simply ravished. Nope, not my style, so don’t bother to tell me how to better balance my calories and then the sweet, lovely, creamy ice cream (actually frozen yogurt w/ candy in it) won’t seem so desireable. It is, plain and simple.
Truthfully, I’m not looking for a trick or tip so I don’t eat the stuff – I’ve got enough smarts to figure out that I could toss all offending cool goodness down the drain and only buy sugarfree (which we have plenty of anyway) popsicles etc. I also keep Dibs (those oh-so-cute little 16 calorie per bite) in the freezer, and plenty of nights make it by with only a 3-4 of those sliding down my gullet.
My question is this: If you sit down and devour alot of Healthy Choice ice cream at one sitting (to the point that your bowel tells you it’s time to make a fastbreak for the toilet), at what point is it no longer a HEALTHY CHOICE???
