Update & Meal Plan

First, I am currently 255lbs and i want to lose 56lbs by May 22, 2018. I have made strides but I need to make more.  My bro got me a fitness tracker and I snagged a Fitbit HR from Letgo for $15. I immediately got in a challenge with my friends on there this morning. I am 3 months in on a workout plan I made with my workout partner. The first phase was using a barbell on the main lifts with accessories as time permitted.  Now, I am adding bodyweight movements in there after the barbell lifts.  I am feeling super strong and I know it will pay off double time! My main issues are the fact that I can't say no to leftovers and sweets.  I have found that if I eat really clean I can fit it in but there is more to life than that.  I have 3 thoughts. 1. I want my food to be healthy and irresistibly delicious....... so how do I do it? 2. Could I have some form of sugar every time? My 3rd and final thought it why can't I just give up my dependence on sweets.  It is my vice. Some people have alcohol, some have cigarettes, some have weed, some have knives, some have guns, yet I have sweets.  I don't want my goals, dreams, quality of life, and fitness be cancelled out by a sugar addiction.
