been looking at all the low carb ice cream they got out now. like weight

watchers has some different things that they say is low carb. I think the fudge

ceakel had maybe ten carbs. mainly I'm talking about the ice cream on a stick or

maybe in a tiny little cup that makes you wish to laugh at the size. I realize

that the real thing is much better in taste, but there is many more carbs to

deal with as well. thinking maybe a few of you have checked out what weight

watchers has or got some ideas for me to try. the wife buys blue bell for home

and she eats it by her self of course. I do dip it up for her and only lick the

spoon off is all. just a tiny taste of what I'm missing out on and that in it

self is bad enough. I use to in the over eating days of my life, I could tare a

container of ice cream up! no need for a silly bowl! just get me a big spoon and

tie on the feed bag. use to think at one time very many years ago that I could

buy a package of those tiny little cups of ice cream and only have one a day for

a treat. well when you are loving to eat as I have all my life, this is simply

telling your self a lie in the hope that you will believe your lying self. best

I recall the package had 16 or maybe 20 tiny little cups. looked like each

serving was maybe half of a cup. 4 tiny ounces is all. just one bite for me

mostly. couldn't do it. I ate half the cups one day and finished the rest the

next day. no self control of any kind back then. I know now I have got my head

out of my pig butt and I can as well now eat right and not be stupid about it.

was thinking about making my own type of ice cream using yogurt, fresh

strawberries, walnuts and splinda. figured to freeze it, but a buddy of mine

said it didn't freeze worth a flip and didn't taste right after it was frozen.

when I was the bad pig who over ate and didn't care, I would always order the

large or giant shakes. always super size it please and then super size it again

thank you! don't bother me though with the blue bell ice cream in the freezer

every week now like it use to would have killed me to ignore it. now I know all

those carbs are poison to my health. I can't have the kind of A1C I desire or

weigh less if I give in to such things. some times when part of my old man parts

begins to think on the ice cream I will go take it out of the freezer and yell

at it. well yelling at it just shows how messed up I really am, but it does

settle the madness down in side me that wants out to eat the box of ice cream.

tried that low carb ice cream that some places around here has and it kind of

taste like saw dust and I should know how saw dust taste. I have worked with

wood at home and for a job for more then thirty years, so I know first hand what

saw dust taste like and that low carb ice cream reminded me of it. never have

looked at the label to see how many carbs are in a serving of real ice cream,

but I know a serving is mostly half of a cup. now I don't know about all of you,

but a half of one cup? do you actually realize how small a half of cup of ice

cream is? what a joke! I can put a half of a cup in my pig mouth all at one time

and still have room for chocolate cake. actually if you was to melt a half of a

cup of ice cream in the microwave, it won't no longer look like a half of a cup,

so I'm thinking you could start with a whole cup and then drink a half cup after

you melted it? I simply got ice cream on my brain to night and have no reason

why it should be so. I guess maybe because I use to always go get a triple dip

on Friday's after work to bring in the weekend right!

I love fruit bars. I eat half a one, which has 9 carbs. The sugar free

popsicles have only 4 carbs and are good also. I, unfortunately, discovered

that Nestlé’s now makes mini size Nutty buddies. They are cute little cones

with a mix of vanilla and chocolate ice cream in them and covered with a

little chocolate and nuts. They have 16 carbs, 1 protein and 7 grams fat.

I eat one when I have a really low calories dinner Last night I had a piece

of roasted chicken, some cooked fresh carrots and some cucumber slice. My

Bg before dinner was 96, 2 hours after dinner was 102 and I ate one of the

mini Nutty Buddy and 2 hours later the sugar was 136. It was 106 when I got

up and I took no extra insulin besides when the pump gives me normally.

Oh, Mark

I just thought of something else I do when I have an ice cream craving. I

put my half cup of sugar free vanilla ice in a cup and add a can of sugar

free root beer-and instant root beer float!
