Jim, are you going overboard here and as a result setting yourself up to fail? Never again able to eat the things you mentioned? Low carb is not 0 carb. Plus, there are options to satisfy a sweet tooth. You can stay away from store bought ice cream but have you ever thought to make your own with a sweetener? It can be great and way better than the fake stuff in the grocery store. There also are a fair number of low carb substitutes for pasta and pancake mix (eg, carb quick) that taste pretty fine. Unsweetened chocolate can be used sweetened with Erthrytol to make various treats.

Poke around on the internet, there are a lot of good low carb recipes out there that can satisfy some of the desires for treats that you have.
