[quote=Anonymous]When I do my weekly grocery shopping, I buy one of each of these categories

Sweets (chocolate bar, skittles, small ice cream, etc)
 Salty (chips or pretzels) 
 Indulgent (usually a really good thing of cheese) I do allow myself cheese on pasta/tacos that don't count

Then that's it for the week.  So I can either eat the entire chocolate bar in one day and then not have any for the next 6 days, or I can break it apart and have some each day.  I portion out the salty/indulgent food to have a serving each day.  DH and DS can help themselves to the rest.

When I go out to eat, I look up the menu in advance to figure out what I may want.   It helps if I knw there is a dessert that I really want, so I plan the rest of the meal around an indulgent dessert.

For cooking, I still make pasta but I am careful with the portions.  DH and DS get a normal serving, I get more of a side serving and have more veggies.  When there isn't an option to overeat something like pasta, you don't. [/quote]
