How to kick the chocolate habit?

[emmak]

Wondered if any of you have made new year's resolutions to lose weight and what actually works?

I haven't really been on a diet before but have identified my problem: chocolate.

When I confronted my husband with my excess poundage he said,"All you have to do is eat less and exercise more."

To which I said "Yes but what about CHOCOLATE? It is everywhere. Unlike heroin I can buy it at the corner shop."

So my six year old aka Sausage has become a Chocolate Gestapo and has been told by dad to "Keep her away from the chocolate and squeal if she touches it."

Crazy what? What ways have you found to kick the chocolate/cake/whatever habit?
