Great! Glad to hear it! I suppose it's a bit like having a lingering cough...you get so focused on the darned thing there's an illusion that you can't survive WITHOUT coughing every second.
I read an interesting article about habits...how they form and how to get rid of one you don't want. It takes longer to form or break them than previously thought. It also discussed how to break a bad habit by replacing it with a better one. If you want to stop eating a dessert, eat something pleasant but healthier instead. Keep it up and you'll find your habit has been replaced.
All fine if you don't mind finding that you can't end a meal without eating a carrot!
