It started out innocently enough. First it was once or twice a week. Then every other day. Pretty soon, it was every day, sometimes even in the morning. “I’ll just have a little bowl.” You know how the story goes, though. Pretty soon I was having seconds in that same little bowl. Then, I got a bigger bowl. And then I went to seconds in the big bowl (just a little more, Edy, please).
Now I’m scoring this shit in multiple half-gallon runs, hovering over the open carton with a fucking spoon.
I know, I know. You don't approve. It's a bad habit. But don't lecture me, man. Don't try to make me see what it's doing to me. Don’t give me all your advice about how I should try to kick with this shit.
It doesn’t work, I’ve already tried it.
And don’t even think of staging one of those 'interventions'. That will only make it worse.
Just leave us alone—I’m already too far gone. It’s just me and Edy.
She’s all I care about now.



Pregnant women are supposed to eat ice cream. It has calcium. You don't want to get leg cramps, do you?

The baby NEEDS ice cream! You crave for a reason, and that reason is fetal-nutrition. You're doing the right thing, in following those urges. Good girl!

And then there are the flavors they make with Girl Scout Cookies. Pure evil.

Hey, whatever it takes. I was so sick with both of my pregnancies...ice cream was one of the first things I didn't hack up.
Enjoy!
Apparently Edy's is Dreyer's here. We don't have Edy's, but the labeling for Dreyer's is identical.....mmmmm, ice cream. Gotta' go.

I found out when I was pregnant with Oliver that they make Twix ice cream
TWIX ICE CREAM.
I nearly drowned in my own drool.

With me, it was moose tracks. And my husband found CHOCOLATE moosetracks right when we came home. Don't fight the feeling! Think of it as dairy nutrition. They say you need extra calcuim, right? :)

My friend started eating ice cream every night while she was pregnant, and blew up like a BALLOON! The extra weight dropped off as soon as she stopped eating it (while she was still pregnant!). I became lactose-intolerant during my pg with my son. FUN...not. Ice cream still makes me barf...but tastes SO good.

Oh ice cream. Sweet, sweet ice cream. How I crave your delicious dairyness.
You wanna hear something cruel? I have some kind of sugar sensitivity. The minute I have a bowl of ice cream, the next day I need to break out the Monistat. So cruel. So cruel.
So I'm doing the Splenda ice cream, and believe me, it pales in comparison to the real deal.
Enjoy it. Enjoy every rich spoonful. it's got calcium! And calcium is good!

Now for me, it's Ben and Jerry's Creme Brulee flavor. Truly addictive.
