Sorry if its been said before- almost at goal, but my candy-eating is out of control

Sorry, I know there have been things similar, but I looked and I guess I just need support. I am 10 months post-op, and have lost 115lbs. I currently weigh 135 (want to be 130). I have done pretty good so far, I have a protein drink, protein bar and 2-3 healthy meals a day. But after a few months post-op I discoverd that "hey- I drink milk and I'm fine, so I can eat candy, too then" And I am back into some old habits. Ofcourse, it is nowhere near the amount of candy I used to eat, but I am so upset and ashamed of myself. I eat about 1200 calories a day. I had a perforated ulcer, have chronic daily headaches and some other issues to deal with, but I try as hard as I can, and for the most part hit the gym 4-5 times a week. But 200 of those calories are probably sugar. I cannot stop eating it and I don't know what to do. I know we aren't supposed to eat it, but I just can't get the addiction out of my head. Have any of you gone through this? Or have any ideas of what to do? I don't want to gain weight once I am in "maintain" mode. Thanks for any advice or comments!
