That is how we are as well with sweets. Maybe have some sweets, ice cream, or pop once a week but completely avoid it the rest of the time.
One thing that has really helped us not eat too many sweets is shopping at Costco. You go into a Hy-vee it is so easy to buy a "small" bag of cookies, a few candy bars, "personal" size ice cream, etc.
But at Costco that stuff simply isn't available unless you buy a huge container of it. Those packages are much easier to avoid because of the price and the fact that it is much easier to see just how much food is there so it becomes more obvious that it is just too much sweets and it will be in the house for a while and it becomes much easier to say we don't need it.
