I work at an ice cream shop and I can't leave without ice cream. I have to stop. I keep telling myself "no more" but it doesn't work. redface How can I stop myself? (quitting my job isn't exactly an option)

If I were you, I would start to slowly take smaller portions. Every other day, the portion gets smaller. Then sooner or later you will completely deny ice cream until theres an occasion or something special going on in order to have ice cream.
I love ice cream just as much as a fat kid loves cake. Everytime I see ice cream I crave some. But its my will to walk away that helps me. I eat some ice cream now in small portions but only to reward myself for something special. Most of the time it doesnt help at all that my mom always buys those huge gallon buckets of ice cream every week for the family. Ooo...temptation.
Be strong, not only for yourself but for others lol ^^

That's great advice Xinkd biggrin stuffed green pepper also keep in mind eating ice cream and most sweets is all about taste and not portion. So you can eat a small portion (1 scoop or a spoonful) should be enough to satisfy your sweet tooth. I used to really eat a big mug full of ice cream but now I am mostly eating a half cup of ice cream or a spoonful or two when the craving hits (not too often). Like Xinkd keep your will strong biggrin

Thanks guys. I've started to lower my portion size and I did end up quitting my job for other reasons besides my health. So thank you very much!
