Whenever I am confronted with something like that I analyze it in my mind to figure out how I could make it myself, but LC.
Chocolate covered strawberries are simple: I make the recipe for chocolate peanut butter cups, except I leave out the peanut butter. Then I dip some big juicy strawberries once or twice in the warm sauce and either eat them immediately or refrigerate for later.
And even if I'm not going to run home and make the LC version of whatever tempting treat is before my eyes, just knowing I can do so eliminates the temptation. This approach kept me from going on a key lime pie binge on a trip to Florida one time; as soon as I bought some bottled key lime juice I was fine.
