And Dave, I should smuck you for messing with us like that! Razzle frazzle!!!!!!
As for the ice cream, that's totally okay! The minute you make it a "forbidden" thing, you'll crave it like crazy. Allow a little bit every once in a while. If it's an issue to have in the house, then go out for a serving or just buy the single serving containers. I had ice cream last night, too.
Think BALANCE. If MOST of what you eat is filling, nutritious, and healthy, then you can have some treats, too, and still lose weight. And, you'll be able to stick with it long-term.
