I can totally relate. This is where calorie counting and using My Fitness Pal has helped me. I am happier when my diet is balanced and not restrictive. If I want a treat I have 2 rules that I stick to; 1) It must fit into my calorie budget. If I really want something I have to cut elsewhere. 2) It must be really really good quality decadence! Homemade, haagan dazs or something totally YUMMY. It can't be crap just for the sake of it.
I've found this easy to stick to for the last 2 months now and really feel in control right now.
The other key mantra that has helped me;
"If you get a flat tire, you don't go and slash the other three." I have no idea where it originated but it is so true. One slip up or some dessert doesn't mean all your efforts are wasted.
Good luck!!! :)
