I come at this from a different perspective, perhaps. I discovered that I enjoyed riding so much that it is easy for me to get on a bike and ride for 20 or 30 miles. And surprisingly, after I ride that far, it tends to depress my desire to snack and overeat. So perhaps just gaining a joy of being in the saddle can be the encouragement that you need.
