This really spoke to me!!! Wow. Often any ice cream I bring into the house gets consumed the same day. Buy one pint, consume one pint. Buy two....(you get the picture).
Last night I went and stocked up on ice cream. It was similar to buying booze. First I told myself I was going to buy it, but save it for later. Then I sort of "decided" to eat it all. The same way I used to drink it all, if you get the picture.
I've been doing this type of thing since I was a kid---it certainly preceeded the drinking. I'm wondering if this is an idicator of poor impulse control across the board? Scary.
The good news is that when I lapse on good eating, it isn't impossible to get back on track. But I wish I were one of those people who could stop when I'd had enough.
Whine
