(35,773 posts)It's very interesting. I'm not saying anything bad about you, in any way, with this response. I had to quit drinking, so I get it!
Still, it does bring up habits. I was brought up in a family where a few nights a week, we could have a scoop of ice cream or a cookie (home made) for dessert. Everything else was "real" food. (I know. I know. Loaded term.)
When I got married, we bought a half gallon of ice cream. I had a scoop one night. Then I wanted another a few weeks later. It was gone. I didn't understand. Why is it all gone?
Well, my wife grew up in a family where the ice cream (and other treats) was simply eaten as fast as possible as soon as it made it to the freezer. There was balance. No moderation.
I probably should give up chocolate, by the way. I appreciate your inspiration on that!
Cheers!
