Hi!
I also have trouble with certain desserts... I want to eat an entire cake if it is in the house, but a ice cream cone is perfect for me.

I also do better if I make sure I am plenty of protein in my meal. If I really want to do things right.. which for me is very rare, I eat a salad first, veggies, plenty of protein ( I don't love meat so I tend to skip the protein part ) and then my dessert or carbs or both.

Sometimes I think variety in my problem.. I notice I don't do well after a buffet, but I enjoy them so still go once in awhile.

Good luck to you and hope you find all the answers... this is harder in the beginning. Take Care, Kandi
