ANYWAY. As I mentioned yesterday, I've been eating a lot of ice cream lately, bc it's been so bloody hot here (38C with the humidex. UGH) and we don't have A/C. I had a brainwave today. Wanna hear it? And no, it's not "don't eat it". Here goes.
Portion Control.
I'll do the same thing with ice cream that I do with cereal. Instead of eating it from a bowl, I'll eat it from a mug. I've been doing this for a few years. I still get the taste, and it's a satisfying amount, but doesn't go overboard. And really. When the mug is full-ish, it still looks like a lot, so my mind says "ok, taht's enough". Kinda like using a smaller plate. Here, I'll demonstrate...
This is the same two-ish scoops of ice cream in a bowl v. mug. Doesn't the mug look a hell of a lot fuller? I am Soooooooooooooo smrt :)

I will have to try that!! Good thinking smarty pants! Hope you are having a good day! Talk soon!
this is a great idea!
it does suck that our bowls and plates are so big.
sometimes i will eat supper of the smaller plates just so it looks like there's more.
Oh, oh - I know I responded to an older post, but I just remembered another ice cream replacement fave. Fudgsicles! They're so yummy and really low in points!
