It can be difficult sometimes. I also LOVe my chocolate, I'm kinda an m&m freak! I do ok with them if I don't eat them on an empty tummy and don't eat the entire 1 pound bag!
I too, struggle with weight. I used to manage my weight with exercise but with the events of the past 10 months of my life that hasn't been very possible and I've gained a lot of weight. Most of my problem right now is not physically being able to exercise and comfort eating. You CAN and many people HAVE lost weight on this diet. Portion control is a big part of it. Most of the foods are low fat already. Personally, I believe exercise is the key. Try to eat smaller meals more often. This helps with the ibs and binge eating, which I'm prone to do also. Not sure if I helped you any but you are not alone!
