This is the key right here. If you can't live with a choice you make, you are doomed to fail. It has to work with you, and you have to enjoy it.

I suggest making small, but noticeable changes. Like Chocolate? Trade in the Snickers for a low calorie treat like a low fat chocolate pudding or the non fat chocolate cookies. I use low or non fat cheese where I can (in burritos). I watch my portions and resist seconds. But remember, non fat cookies still have calories (lots of sugar) so you still can't eat the entire box! When having snacks you like/crave- devide the box/bag into single servings when you open the bag (so you don't eat half the bag of chips and go "oops!". Have no more than one a day. Have another low cal snack handy if the "2nds" temptation gets the best of you.

And choose an easy to do excersize. If it's hard for you to make it to the jym, then do something at home. Is the equipment too expensive? Find cheeper alternates. Jog on the beach, use stairs in your home, curl a 2 ltr bottle, ect.
