Over Christmas, I lost about 2kg, despite spending 5 days eating my mother's great cooking. Given society's attitude about weight, I looked on this as a Pretty Good Thing. Then in January, after I had lost another 2kg, one of the doctors explained what was happening. When you have cancer, your body uses more energy to combat it, so you need to eat more calories. One of his suggestions was that I eat lots of ice cream.
Liette dutifully added it to the shopping list, asking me what flavours I liked, and I've been eating it in the evening after the kids go to bed, to avoid causing jealousy.
After eating my way through about 3 litres in the last two weeks, I can now report that even eating ice cream begins to be a chore when you have to do it!
My weight seems to have stabilized, though.

Hey Dave - when I was pregnant with the girls, I lost quite a bit of weight during the first few months, due to nausea and lack of appetite...ice cream in the evening was my defense too! (But I never got tired of it - I must have a higher ice cream tolerance than the average person...it was a hard habit to kick when I no longer needed it!!)
