Hi guys,
I thought if anyone else was having the withdrawal I was it might be helpful to have a mid-week progress report!
Tuesday night (day 4 ice cream free) was horrible for me. I felt like I was actually having some sort of real withdrawal symptoms and maybe I was considering the sugar content of ice cream, but it was horrible. At one point I literally gripped the edges of my hubby's tee shirt and shook him violently and screamed at him, "GO GET ME SOME FREAKIN' ICE CREAM NNNNNOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!" And he looked at me with wide eyes and just smiled and said, "no sweetie, you don't want ice cream, you told me to be strong for you, so now I'm your strength!" Well, I could have shaken his teeth right out of his mouth at that point! I actually begged him to get me some ice cream! But he stood firm, and kept reminding me that I wanted to give up ice cream for 6 months, that this was just a phase and I would get through it without the ice cream. Well, for the next 1/2 hour I threatened that poor man with everything from a divorce to severing his "male member" in his sleep, but he just sat with me and kept calmly reminding me of my goals and how far I've come, and that I could defeat this craving. It worked, I'm still ice cream free on day 6! I have apologized for my behavior since that little incident, and been "extra sweet" to my hubby, but I thought about some of you guys and was wondering if you were going through any type of initial "separation anxiety" this first week.
I really hope you guys are getting through it with more sanity that I, but just in case you need to vent, need support or an "atta girl!" I posted this for you!
