One bite of ice cream and I'm lost. I could eat the whole half gallon and then look for something else to eat.

As for why I cheat--let me count the ways: boredom, stress, lonely, guests, happiness, sadness, etc. I think one of the most demanding triggers is simply sight! If I see it, I want it, I can taste it, and can smell it, and I have no will power over it.

How's that for a confession? I'm ready for the shrink's couch.
