Ice cream cures cravings - and I milked that fact for as long as possible! It's a pretty common occurrence during early recovery.
YEP! This pretty much sums me up. Carbs- fries. Sugar- ice cream.
Confession? I got my updated lab tests, most importantly for my liver function (all normal, praise God, which in 4mos is a miracle from where I was, on death's door) but DIDN'T do an office visit because I want to lose my ice cream tummy before I see my dr for a check up. He told me back in Mar to watch out for the middle weight gain (once my liver un- protruded!) so I want to be ok when I see him. Vain, yes?
I turn 40 in August so my plan is to have it gone by then. I am nearing 5mos and for the past 2, 2 1/2 ice cream has been my nemesis.
Must go clean out the freezer...
I am picking up my running frequency and distance so that plus adjusting my diet surely will do it.
