I have an awful sweet tooth too, but it doesn't torture me nearly as much as it used to. The first thing I did was to read "Sugar Blues." It informed me what all that sugar could be doing to me. Next I cut out all added sugar, cold turkey. I didn't even eat ketchup. I think it was for about two months, but the length wasn't my goal. It was easier than reducing my sugar because I didn't have to make choices anymore. I started to believe that fruit can be a dessert. After that it was easier for me to go some days with no dessert and most days with a small dessert. (Although I still go overboard occasionally.) If I can make peace with my sweet tooth, anyone can.
