Shelby, just listen, my mom used to bake a cake every night. She would give everyone 1 piece. But, like the little piggy I was, I would eat 3 pieces! Take a piece of cake and cut it in half. Wrap the other half up and store it in the cupboard for tomorrow. Only allow your self half a piece or 1 cookie a day. Eat healthy for the rest of the day and then reward yourself with the half piece of cake after dinner.
Try to stay in a 1400 calorie diet. I don't mean counting EVERYTHING you eat, keep a food journal. Write down everything you eat down to a cracker you had before dinner along with its fat contents and calories.
Take a 20 minute walk around the house or in your neighborhood.
Do this and you will start to lose weight.

The easier thing for me to do is grab an apple or some other fruit or vegetable and take a bite while looking at the dessert, then laugh at it. It makes you feel so good knowing that you ate something good other than falling into the temptation.
