I've been eating a pint of ice cream a day.

I’ve been eating paint chips every day after work. My wife thinks I’m depressed but they taste so good. Any dips I should try?

I walk alot. Just on the weekend alone I took about 50k steps. That's on Sat and Sunday. That's a lot of steps. I'm not sedentary, and I do eat clean for the most part. Ice cream is a weakness of mine. I think it has to do with me feeling a bit stressed lately.
50k steps? You sure about that? that's ~28 miles.

Speaking of ridiculous eating I'm a few timbits short of polishing off a box of 20 in one sitting. :eek:

I walked to Tim Horton's but that probably only burnt like half a timbit's worth of calories lol.
I just ate a great big fresh homemade salad including my homegrown tomatoes and purple tree collards. Knarly.

Look under the sink, that's where you find the really yummy stuff. Try some drain cleaner or if you're in the mood for a nice citrus-y zing some lemon Pledge.

I'm fairly partial to drywall compound. Has the consistency of ice cream but none of the calories!

Ahh the after work relaxation.

I used to do strawberry milk when I was a kid.

After 21 it became beer.

After 23 it became jack and coke.

After 25 it became kahlua with cream.

Now it's currently ice cream sandwiches.

Everyone has a relaxation technique, don't fret.

Eating over 1000 calories in a sitting DAILY is terrible for your body. Can I suggest substituting 15 minutes of cardio or doing 3 sets of 15 pushups instead? If you get your heart pumping, the desire to eat tends to go away.

Yea, when I think I want some ice cream, I like to run around my yard and do pushups. That's sooo much better.

:^P

got this over the weekend...

Taking a cereal bowl full of pills to keep your heart working when you're 55 is SOOOOO much better :rolleyes:

I'll bet it is, we don't get the Tillamook ice creams here, so I can only get them when traveling. Last time I went to CO I brought a cooler with the express intent of bringing some home with me.

I'm not sure how widespread it is here. I got it at my new Sprouts store. I don't usually go to the icecream aisle, but I wanted to checkout everything they had. The week before I got this...

That was really good too. Better than Talenti.

Scary thing is if you go to a typical fast food joint, you might be eating farily in excess of 1000 calories in that meal. Maybe well over 1500. Maybe a double cheese, fries, chocolate shake. I'm thinking 1700.

Safe bet: Wendy's Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe + small chili and diet cola. Lots of protein and under 600 calories.
