Bowl of ice cream - 200 calories
Go back to your childhood and grab that old skipping rope - plus you can exercise in front of the telly. Try doing two 20 minute sessions in front of your fave soaps one evening, and that Haagen Dazs will be a distant memory.

Cheeseburger - 400 calories
Yes, it's naughty. Luckily the solution can be just as fun. Try taking up a drumming, which will tone your arms, is a fantastic stress-busters, and will burn off that burger after an hour of pretending you're in a rock band. Chocolate bar - 150 calories Sometimes, only chocolate will do. So hop on the stepper for 10-15 minutes to burn it off afterwards - and give yourself a bum lift at the same time.

Chinese takeaway - 400 calories
Choose carefully - just two crispy duck pancakes are around 400 calories. Prawns in black bean sauce or chicken chop suey are better to get your fix and fill you up. Then strut your stuff on the dance floor for an hour and you'll burn it off, without noticing you're working out!

Bag of crisps - 140 calories
Savour each crisp ladies. It'll take around 30 minutes using a gym ball to burn off the whole pack, but it'll also help give you killer abs, and great posture. Which also makes you look thinner.
