Yes, great points. I'm the same way with sweets. The more often I have it, the more often I want it. A few mechanisms for that have occurred to me. But one of them is gut bacteria that live off sugars and have some way to make me feel bad when I'm not feeding them enough. For others trying to break the habit, one really simple rule that has worked well for me is "no two days in a row". I do this with a lot of things that are addictive for me, like caffeine. It's simple enough that I don't need to track anything. "I can have it tomorrow if I still want it" is a great way for me to say no to a craving. And in practice, it seems to keep me from forming habits; "no two days in a row" turns out to be "weekly or less" in practice.
