Wow this thread has been really interesting for me, thanks for everyone's input.
The comment about "is it worth it" is something that I try to keep in mind, but think I need to focus on more.
I have however started when I know I'm going to indulge, rather than going all out and having several things, I instead decide what I want "most" out of x, y and z, and have that, so more often than not I'm still eating far less than I would have before, which seems to be working. So I guess what I'm doing is considering each food and deciding which IS worth it.
I usually hear that I look like Kate Gosselin, especially when her hair was the reverse mullet. Kate, you are looking at your future here (47). Seriously, the photos of her when she was younger do look like a much younger me. I think she is attractive but I'm not a fan of hers.
