I have this rule ... yes I sometimes break it, but for most of the times I try my very best to stick with it. I WILL NOT get myself some ice cream (or cookies, or chocolate, or fizzy cooldrink), UNLESS DH ask for some, or want some
So I will sit on the couch drooling like a starving dog and ask him if he wants some. It's a sorry sight. If he says yes, I dish him up a bowl and put some for me in a coffeemug (I tend to take a smaller portion then) If he says no, I get nothing!!!! He is not a sweettooth, so only having something sweet when he wants it, help me ALOT!! And it sure as hell helps me not to eat the whole 2lt tub in a sitting!!!!!
