I had some luck, since we had kids, in examining *when* it was hard for me to say no. If i don't get a treat while working on the couch at night, i'm really sad. BUT, I don't necessarily miss the one right after dinner. That realization has made it easy for me to just say no after dinner most of the time, because I know I'll want the later one either way. Maybe something like that can help??
