Chocolate Fudge Ice Cream


The 3’Rs for Sugar Cravings

Chocolate Fudge Ice Cream is staring you down and calling your name in an abrupt manner. You see it and you’re having a hard time resisting. Is there anything you can do to curb your cravings? Definitely! What you need to do is practice the 3 R’s of avoiding this harmful but great tasting snack.

Responsibility

Be responsible and get your mind off of this treat and call a friend to talk you out of it. Go online and view weight loss tips! Out of sight means you won’t be thinking about it. Take a short break. Walk or even pray but you must do something to prevent this sugar high. Responsibility to you is the way to go.

Relationships
Develop exercise buddies to support you when needed. When in a crave mode call on one of your support persons to give you a pep talk. Give yourself permission to be able to comfortably express your feelings for at least 10 minutes. Ten minutes is long enough that the craving for Chocolate Fudge Ice Cream will pass.

Redemption
Substitute with a cup of hot tea with just a dab of honey. The sweetness of the honey will help get rid of some of the sugar craving. Even if later you give in no worries just learn from the triggers. There are a lot of ways to redeem yourself and they are as follows:
·        Throw the sweet food out
·        No put downs
·        Never shop hungry at the grocery store
·        Become goal oriented
·        Develop a Plan of Action
·        Process with friends
·        Eat Fruit and drink plenty of water!!!

Workout and use the 3’rs to curb your cravings and to stay focused on losing weight in the healthiest way possible.
