Bev , a few things that work for me...........
1) I only eat home-made or hand-made Candies -- never mass-produced store bought.
2) I only eat ice cream in the summer, when it is hot. I can't buy homemade ice cream, but I buy smaller amounts of 'better' ice cream.
This rule helps me to cut down on ice-cream intake.
3) I keep a lot of stuff like roasted peanuts and popcorn for when I
am hungry between meals, so that I don't end up cooking a burger or a pork chop (or two) for a mid-day snack. I was always thin, But, once you pass a certain age 'and' quit smoking, a few extra pounds seem inevitable.
* 4) The thing that helped me most, except for the occasional pleasures (Like cheeseckake or those listed above),is that I do 'not'
use sugar. I drink caffeine-free diet Dr. Pepper. It is the only dark colored soft drink , in diet form, that I find palatable . My wife uses that sugar substitue that you called poison, for tea, coffeee, and some cooking.
