I don't know what it is about this creamy deliciousness that seems to make the world better. A couple of months ago I was having a terrible day. My kids were driving me crazy and I needed to get away. I was not in the mood to talk to anyone so I had decided to go to the store and spend $1 on a treat. I ended up at Safeway and it took me about 10 minutes before I settled on a treat. I bought a small Ben & Jerry's and parked in front of my neighbor's house and ate it in beautiful silence. I was amazed at how much better I felt as the ice cream trickle it's happiness into my veins.
Last year I did an experiment and gave up ice cream for five months. I had been eating ice cream everyday for a month after my birthday and decided to cut myself off. It was hard at first but I wanted to prove to myself that I have will power. I must admit, there were days when I gave in and got a frozen yogurt but overall it was a good excercise in telling myself I didn't "need" it.
I still love ice cream and somehow it seems to make my day better. I'm probably just "eating my feelings (whatever, Kristi :)) but now I know that I can say no to it as well.
