I was (and still occasionally) struggle with this too. I found some ways to let me enjoy LC sweets responsibly. First I only allow myself one treat per day. This way I can look forward to it and choose when I want to indulge. Second, I cut the serving(cookie, bar, fudge) into small pieces and put it on a plate. I take it to another room (bedroom, living room) and eat it piece by piece. Sometimes I'll only eat half a serving at a time, because then I can have the other half later that day...otherwise I don't allow myself any more treats for the day. Also, I never make low carb treats in big batches. I live on my own, so 2-3 serving batches is max for me. Good luck! You can do it!
