Lessening the impact of unhealthy eating options

I suppose that it would be easier to maintain a diet if the only things I find when I open my freezer were not pizza or ice cream. Then there is the small problem of every time I hunt through the kitchen in search of something to munch on I am always far more attracted by the idea of assembling scratch cookies than getting a salad.

I have done some things to try to limit the damage, though, and am feeling better for it.

For the cookies: I keep plenty of things on hand to make peanut butter or oatmeal cookies, adding little sugar and lots of peanut butter or oatmeal. I then limit myself to one, two cookies at most, and put the rest into storage containers in the freezer so that they need to be thawed out to eat more of them.

And for the pizza: I have stocked up on items like bell peppers (assorted colors) and other pizza friendly, yet healthy, toppings. I keep them frozen in the freezer and when I want to make a pizza I will get a few slices of bell pepper out and dice it on the counter to add to the pizza, or add on some mushrooms, whatever I feel like to increase how filling a single slice will be, while adding healthiness to it. That way when I have pizza just one slice will have enough added goodies that I feel content and do not go back after a second... well, maybe one more if I am really hungry, but since I started loading the pizza with more goodness I do not think I have ate more than two slices, and usually only one slice. (Pizza sliced so to make 8 wedges).

It is not a perfect solution, but it has allowed me to eat the things I adore and not pack on the pounds. Now if only I could find a substitute for Ben & Jerry's Mudslide...

I have tried keeping yogurt and frozen fruit on hand, and will make myself smoothies in the summer rather than just grab ice cream, so that helps a bit there.

What options have you tried to work with to help make unhealthy eating a bit healthier?
