(anything will work if you like it enough) set yourself a goal and if you reach that goal give yourself a big reward. the next week, make it harder, say, no chips and no soda and no lollies. make a big deal out of it, mark it on the calendar with a fat red marker. i played this game last holidays and it works!!!!! i didnt gain a single kilo, but i did keep exercising, so that would have played a big part, hope this works as well as it has for me with you, keep me posted
