I find it helps to think of sugar and flour and their yummy products as
poison to me. If you eat some and it doesn't hurt you then you think you
can eat more. I confess I slip once in a while, like a little left over
Halloween candy, but it's better to just keep the attitude that "I don't eat
that."
