Yes, I'm thinking that getting on this website when I'm thinking "gimme candy" could work. I feel better and more in charge just reading others posts, and posting my own. Thanks to all for the many suggestions!

Thank you for the feedback . ;My biggest problem is I can't stop at 1. Just like when I quit drinking, I do better with total abstinence - it's getting there that's tough.
