The only time I bother to resist is if I've promised not to do something (Like, "I won't eat chocolate for 30 days") or if I think there's some other reason it really matters. I've found that even if I get really depressed and eat chocolate ice cream straight from the container, I still only eat about 500 calories' worth. Granted, that's 500 calories worth of fat and sugar, but I'm still usually able to stay within my limits for the day, AND I don't have the craving to fight the next day, and the day after that, and the day after that....

I save my willpower for more important things.
