My Other Habit

It's hard to avoid the gelato, so pacing is important. In the morning, I recommend going with something fruity--a lemon or melon or strawberry. After lunch, the nutty ones are where it's at, though coconut and biscotti are also good choices. Save the evil flavors for after dinner. They make chocolate like they make coffee, so we're not talking some kind of Swiss Miss-flavored, non-fat, guilt-free chemical concoction from Exit 12. But if that's not enough, I can personally vouch for the ciocco-rhum.

Just remember: pacing! Tomorrow's another day.
