...what everyone else said. Plus this: forgive me for repeating myself from another thread, but I'll use the 'carrot vs stick' analogy again. How crappy I feel after eating carby foods is a powerful stick. It's a real deterrent - to the point where it honestly isn't worth it. The 'carrot' is all the *really good* rich food that I *can* have.

This doesn't mean I never eat those carby foods; I've just learned what I can and can't get away with. I'll incorporate a CAD meal every now and then, for example.

Good luck to you - old habits die hard, but they *will* die.
