One of the things I am working toward, more or less successfully, is changing the way I view treats and saving those indulgences for special days, i.e. birthdays, weddings, work celebrations, that sort of thing.

Then I would build from there. Maybe some are easier for you when they are "closer to the ground," i.e. raw. Sautéing or steaming the veggies so…
