    Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream

    but TRUE happiness is reading the label to find out that its got 300 calories and 18 grams of fat per 1/2 cup serving and not caring! :P

    I figured marketing people would want to avoid the term \"chunky\" when deciding a name for ice cream. But I guess they're referring to the \"monkey.\" :)

    That's why I always liked \"Thin Mints\". It sounds like diet food, but tastes so good. Or what about the cereal named, \"LIFE\" ? Talk about dillusions of grandeur.

    As far as happiness, when I wake up and think its a work day, but then realize its a holiday. That's a good feeling. Or when I'm driving, getting nothing but green lights, and my favorite song comes on the radio. That's a good feeling too.

    I don't know? Red sprinkles and ice cream seem pretty good to me now. I've been on Slim Fast diet for about 3 months. My weight loss is going s-l-o-o-w. :unsure:

    Mom, you should sue Slim Fast for false advertising. It's NOT Slim Sloooow, it's Slim FAST!!! :)

    Happiness is being excited for someone else sticking to a diet for 3 months solid while you eat toast with jam. :) Kudos to Mom! :)

    Thanks, for the encouraging words. I've found, the older I get. the slower the gained weight wants to leave. But, I won't give up until I'm happy with my weight loss.
