Dessert is not required, but having a defined and planned dessert actually helps keep me from boredom or emotionally shopping the snacks at some random moment. I've been trying to make some evening dessert habits that are smaller, sustainable, manageable.

Making cookies one or two at a time (80-90 Calories each)
One thing I've done that is helping is I bought the refrigerated cookie dough balls to make cookies. Examples: "Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough" or "Pillsbury Reese's Peanut Butter Cookies" or look for similar generic products, usually at lower prices. Unlike the tube of cold cookie dough, these are in the same refrigerated case but they're flat and rectangular shaped (example images: click here).
I make 1 or 2 a night in the toaster oven and the 20 minutes needed to warm up the oven and make them adds some enjoyable and needed patience. Making them one day at a time means that I don't have two dozen cookies to try and resist all week long.
For good portion control and lack of fuss, I chose the ready-to-bake refrigerated cookie dough that is already pre-sectioned into 24 cookie-dough balls. Once the package is opened, I keep it in a gallon-sized zip-lock bag or wrap it in plastic wrap to keep the dough from drying out.
and speaking of enjoying the preparation time...

Fall evenings are a great time for making a nice cup of tea (about 0 calories unless you add sugar, milk, or cream)
It's becoming time of the year for trying some nice teas in the evening. Making my own cup of tea feels like I'm doing myself a kindness. My spouse doesn't care for tea so this is something that I'm purely doing for me. There is a huge variety of tea to choose from and trying different kinds of teas is practically a hobby.
