Ice Cream is Not an FDA Approved Drug

Ice Cream is Not an FDA Approved Drug

Most of us grew up with the old fashioned treatment when we got sick. Comfort food was the sure cure. As a matter of fact, even though it wasn't fun to be sick, there was a little pleasure in the type of foods you got to eat. And of course, topping the list of comfort foods is ice cream.

How many of you still go for the juice, pudding, mashed potatoes & ice cream type of foods when you're sick? Well one week in to this program, I came across a bad cold like I had hit a brick wall. It stopped all my exercising in its tracks, just when I was getting started. It actually zapped my appetite ( which believe me is amazing). Nothing ever does that. And the ice cream thoughts quickly rushed to my brain. " Nothing cures a cold like ice cream." But I told myself there was no way that I could have that show up on my daily report. So I stayed strong. I am sure that was the first time I did not eat ice cream when I was sick! The jury is still out on whether my cold would have went away faster, but I know the scale showed a much better number by abstaining.

Like I said, the last time I checked, comfort foods were not on the list of FDA approved drugs. It is all a matter of changing old habits.
Stay Strong!
