Ive found the trick is moderation. If you just *love* drinking a couple of beers after dinner, or if you have a soft spot for, say, chocolate chip cookies, thats fine. What you have to do is have moderation. Instead of drinking the two beers every night, knock it down to one a night, then one every few nights. If you love cookies, have one or two once a week. By cutting cold turkey, you create too much temptation.

Speaking of temptation, try getting rid of it. Get rid of the junk food in your house. Dont go to restaurants where you know you'll be tempted to eat too much.

And remember--it takes diet *and* exercise. Both have to be done together for effective weight loss.
