I find dairy products very filling and satisfying, and rarely eat/drink THAT much, with the exception of ice cream.
Add on: Another idea if you buy large portions of a dessert or cakey thing is to freeze a lot of it, in smaller portions. Bluebicycle's idea below works with this. I don't know if the chocolate pie would work well (if it is pudding or custard-like, or fruit pies), but many things do, especially anything cake-like. Quite a while back I made blueberry muffins. Twelve is a lot to have around for just two people. So I froze 9 or 10 of them. I take two (only) out when I want one to defrost. The effort of defrosting deters me from having many.

Thanks, BirdDancer. I will try those things.
