I quit drinking and smoking and gained a bunch of weight. I really quit drinking because I was quitting smoking. I might be able to trust myself to have a few some day, or I might get hammered and find myself walking over to get a pack of smokes. It's happened before.

For deserts, I've been going with stuff like vanilla yogurt and jello, and smallish portions. It beats hogging down a whole pint of Ben and Jerry's!
