Last night, after my daughter and I finished off a mediocre pint of Strawberry Rice Dream Organic, which happened to be on sale at Whole Foods, my sweet tooth was not at all satisfied. I knew there was another 'off limit' dessert in my freezer, however I tried to keep my mind on other things.
It is a huge challenge when my husband comes home with two pints of buy one get one free Ben and Jerry's. The carton of Cream Brulee called my name and I dove in like the dessert I had eaten moments ago never existed. I let my sugar cravings override the fact that I would pay for this indulgence in less than 24 hours. After 3 rather large spoonfuls, I stopped knowing I would feel it in the morning.
As I write this, my head is stuffy, my insides are off, and a new zit has formed on my cheek, and once again I have a reminder of why I choose to eat the way I do. Food is supposed to make me feel good. Next time, I promised myself to give in and buy the full priced Purely Decadent Mocha Almond Fudge coconut milk ice cream that I love so much and feel content.

This is great, I sent a link to Jill, who is starting out her gluten free lifestyle and has lots of challenges. (Mostly shopping, living in Columbia across town from Earth Fare)
