I used to eat an apple every night after dinner.
THEN I DISCOVERED ICE CREAM AGAIN! I had not eaten ice cream for years as had been putting on weight and it has a lot of sugar in it.
I made the mistake of once buying ice cream, and that was the end of will-power!
I now have about 5 different ice cream in my freezer, and lo and behold, the apple a day seems to have disappeared.
I have one at least once a week on my "diet" day where I only have 500 calories, but no, I do not have a piece of fruit on most days.
