Q: Any advice for someone trying to cut down on sweets?

I have a feeling I eat too many sweets - candy, ice cream, and a lot of sweetened iced tea. I know I need to cut back so I can lose some weight, but short of throwing it all out, I don't know where to start!

I've found that going cold turkey for a day helps me.  Then after that things like yogurt and fresh fruit seem to meet all my sweet needs.  If I get past that first day, I thrive on flavored yogurt - the lowfat.  I often mix it with the vanilla because the sweet of fruit is just too much for me.
