i'm sure that would work if you have a special love for cupcakes... but it definitely wouldn't work for me, because i don't get any pleasure from eating stuff like that.
i guess i've just conditioned myself to love
fresh foods, so i don't get any pleasure from consuming all that packaged/unhealthy gunk.
...it makes me feel sick and poisoned.
i think it all depends on the reasoning behind your eating habits though...
like, i try to choose my foods based on how it'll affect me mentally and physically...(not based on appetite, cravings, or emotions). so i think if i were to tell myself that i'm "allowed" to have certain foods (like ice cream and cookies)...then it would only reinforce the belief that i'm
depriving myself of all the
good stuff. (which isn't true, and isn't a healthy long-term mindset.)
you would still be letting yourself be ruled by unnatural cravings, so that kind of lifestyle would bother me. (and you would never fully
kill the craving, because you would always be feeding it little amounts).
andddd it would definitely require more self-discipline to regulate your portions.... so it would never work for me. :b

^that is definitely true though, regardless of what kind of food you're eating.
