This is so true. I have struggled with weight and cravings for many years now as well. The one thing that works for me has been going on full carnivore diet. It really makes sweet and garbage food taste bad and really encourages discipline. Not as a lifestyle change but for a month or teo and then leaning to general moderation diet with low carb intake. I never count calories my self but this approach seems to work it self automatically. Might be something to look into? :)
