It makes me feel miserable. Dessert is almost always off-limits.

It used to be that I would have a second or third helping instead of dessert, but now I don't have room for it.

I haven't had more than one bite of ice cream in 14+ years.

It's difficult to explain, and I know for sure that my experience is unique to me.
