[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am rooting for you!  I also have a sweet tooth and have struggled with impulse control. I used to eat way more processed, packaged sweets (mini Snickers, little debbie snacks when I was a teen and that's what my mom bought, etc).  The thing that helped me do better with these temptations was to remember that as an adult I can buy / eat these things whenever I want.  They are not a limited resource!  Every gas station or convenience store has these foods, there's no scarcity...and furthermore, they aren't special.  They will be there tomorrow, next week, next year etc.  So, there's no rush to eat more more more of it today.  I decided I would splurge a bit more on something that was truly special, e.g. a homemade dessert brought in by a coworker or served at a restaurant or nice bakery.  I had the same issue with alcohol for awhile, which was a  forbidden fruit when I was young (parents are religious). I don't need to binge on X, Y, Z beer or wine because I can always get more some other time.

Anyway, not sure if that line of thinking will help but it did for me!  [/quote]
