I made a kind of deal with myself that if I wanted baked goods and sweets I had to make them myself. Since then I've learned to make brownies, cookies, ice cream, sorbet, chocolate ganache tarts, pancakes, and more. It's fun, allows you to be creative, and the extra work of having to make if yourself keeps you in check.

I did the same thing with my meth addiction.

Making it yourself also lets you make it healthier. It's super easy to choose recipes with less sugar and put fruit, veg, healthy fats, etc into baked goods. It's not going to make it a health food, but it's better than Little Debbie.
