It’s easier to just give up one thing then another.
My wife and I gave up pop about 9 yrs ago. It was a once in a while thing for me, but a every other day thing for her. Same with sweet tea. It’s rare that we have either any more.
Then about 6 yrs ago Chocolate was reduced to only dark, and probably a 1/2 oz per day. Oreos disappeared from the cabinet at least 20 yrs ago.
My wife is an excellent cook, and bakes marvelous things, so buying store bought cookies almost never.
I allow myself 2 per day.
The meals are sensible low fat most of the time.
The discipline does allow an occasional greasy exception. Lol
We were heavier in time past, but certainly not obese.

Pop? And you’re in Tennessee? Did you grow up in the Midwest?
We drink Coke in the South. Or maybe Cheerwine.
