i'm finding myself in a similar dilemma. i signed up for spark people (not willing to pay for weight watchers) and have been tracking my calorie/fat/carb/etc. intake daily. while i have been pretty good about staying within my goals, the cravings are sometimes unbearable. i've been pretty good about not caving to my usual degree, pre-spark people. where i would normally give in and have a whole donut or cupcake or 5 bite-size snickers, i will occasionally have one bite and stop there. tracking the calories has helped. when i want to eat something bad, i'll think to myself "i don't want to have to add this to my food log" and that will usually stop me. i was especially proud of myself today though because i had a really bad afternoon and some kids really pissed me off. i was thinking "f-it, i'm eating a snickers!" but then i stopped myself and and thought "i'm not going to let those kids make me fat." and it actually worked. i could really just replace that with "i'm not going to let my emotions make me fat." my eating habits are so emotional and that's what gets me. i don't know about you, but having positive thoughts and taking control over your eating habits is very empowering. it also helps to allow yourself the treats every now and then, but don't over do it.
