I've been getting a lot of hits from this site.
Welcome other t-tappers lurking about.

It will work -- if you stick to it. That part's a
given. There's no magic here: you'll eat less and lose
weight. The question is whether you'll stick with it.
The nosdiet is not especially onerous, but sticking
with it is not a given. It takes work, for some more
than others. The good news is that it's work invested
in habit, which pays interest. You work for habit so
that habit will work for you.

you in the shovelglove group, too.

Try to swap out something less offensive for this.
Tea, coffee? And tell your chocoholic soul that if it
can just hold out till the weekend, it will be richly
satisfied (think of an especially nice reward in
advance as incentive).
