I made it! 31 days of only ice cream!
It was quite an adventure and I don't regret one lick. I didn't know what to expect of myself or how I'd feel only eating ice cream. I could have really pudged up, but the biggest surprise (other than actually succeeding) was losing 8.5 pounds--the first five were in the first week, then it was slowly, but surely and that's without counting calories or quantities which was a nice feature. Who knows? This may be the diet wave of the future--need to take off a few pounds? Eat ice cream for a week. Of course, I may exempt myself for awhile. I'm sure you understand.
What was my first real food breakfast? Cottage cheese and a little custard for sweetness--I didn't want my body to go into shock for lack of sugar or dairy right off the bat.
Then my real treat was TACOS! Fabulous, wonderful Tacos--they crunched, they had texture, they had no sweetness and hot sauce and Mexifries all with hot sauce. A super mmmmm!!!!!!! It was heaven! One of the best meals I remember. That's a benefit of delaying gratification. Thank you Ms. Wales for treating me to tacos and cheering me on and celebrating with me. It was fun and a moment I'll always remember.
Those of you who bet bucks against me, you owe me $8.50--don't worry I won't take a pound of flesh, Shylock (or even a pound of ice cream).
Well that's the final scoop on The Ice Cream Diet. Thanks for following along and sharing the journey! It's been a delight.
