welcome back. You don't need to 'stay away from sweets, etc'. Just don't eat them.

Big conceptual difference. Behavioral management, you can do it.

You know your triggers and weak points, just be honest with yourself. There are some foods I just have to say no to even in small doses because they trigger me to overeat. I have to own and acknowledge that each and every day. It gets harder around the holiday's because there is seemingly a dessert of some sort for them all. The 2 really big holidays for sweets are coming up (Valentine & Easter). I'm preparing myself mentally now.

welcome back

Its always great to hear from someone who is a vet:)
