I've heard that there are sort-of chin exercising balls that can be purchased that help you to exercise the area.
Here is the facial exerciser I was talking about:

I also searched for how to rid yourself of a double chin and I found some really interesting exercises you can do:
" * Press your palm to your forehead for 10 seconds while resisting with your head and neck. You should feel your neck and chin tighten. Repeat the movement with your hand on the back of your head, then on each side, with your hand cupped over your ear.
* Lift your chin up and open and close your mouth as if you're chewing. Feel the muscles under your jaw and down the front of your neck tighten.
* Sit up straight in an armless chair, holding the bottom of the chair with your hands at your sides, tilt your head back and alternately close your mouth pushing your chin forward and them open your mouth as wide as you can.
* Lift chin slightly upward. With flat point of index and middle fingers press against indentation (hollow) formed by the two upper nodules of the larynx located at the curve from chin to neck. Do not be concerned in the beginning as to the precise location of pressure which you will discover through practice. Regard finger pressure as the resistance against the working muscles. Now press your back teeth firmly together and while maintaining this position, press the tip of your tongue against the inside of lower front teeth (gum line) increasing pressure with the tip of tongue in 10 or more gradual and definite steps (Count to 10). Hold end position of pressure for 6 seconds (count slowly to six). Release muscle work for 10 gradual steps (count to 10). Remove finger resistance. Repeat 4 more times.
* Slap under the chin with the back of your hand. When slapping, start gently and build up speed gradually. Do this for a couple of minutes each time, two or three times a day.
* Exercise the muscle called the platysma whose function is to pull down the corners of the mouth and pull down the jawbone. Open your mouth wide, and then pull up your bottom lip over your bottom teeth. Move your jaw up and down as if you're trying to scoop something up with it - imagine the movement of the shovel on a digger scooping up earth or debris on a building site. Perform ten repetitions of this exercise each time, and again do this two or three times a day.
* Say "NO": Lie flat on the floor, lift your head SLIGHTLY (such that it is not in contact with the floor) and look to the sides one by one without letting the head rest on the floor. Will look a bit like you are saying "NO." Say "YES": Again, lie flat on the floor, and bring your chin closer to your chest and bring it back making sure your head does not rest on the floor. This will look like you are saying YES. You will see the difference within a couple of weeks. No need to over do this. Just once a day...say, 20 reps."

Okay so i got this off of a website
and heres what it says:::
1) EAT LESS
You can lose a double chin by eating less. By limiting your calorie intake, you reduce the amount of fat you store in your body and your face.
2) EXERCISE
Exercising burns more calories and reduces the amount of fat in your overall body. Most of us have difficulty finding the time to exercise regularly though.
3) PLATYSMA EXERCISE
It is an exercise where you open the mouth as widely as possible, then stretch the lower lip and jaw over your top row of teeth. The theory is that if you exercise this muscle, it will tighten the muscles around the chin and help you lose a double chin. Another way to use these muscles is to chew sugar free gum. I’ve also heard that this exercise can make your double chin worse though, because it stretches the skin under the jaw and makes the skin sag. Check results daily to see if the exercise works for you.
4) CHIN LIPOSUCTION
Chin Liposuction is a costly method where fat is drained from the problematic area. It is often dangerous and you can face risks of death from blood clots, infection, lidocaine can cause heart failure, etc…Also, if you do not change your eating patterns and reduce your caloric intake, your double chin will come back.
5) VELFORM CHIN WRAP (My vote for best way to lose a double chin!)
It is a new anti-aging product. It helps reaffirm and shrink the skin hanging around the chin. It works quickly and effectively to resculpt the chin. The Velform Chin Wrap helps reduce the amount of fat and hanging skin. You can immediately see results in as little as one week. You do not have to change your entire lifestyle (eating patterns, etc.) and it is very cheap and effective. If you want to find more about Velform Chin Wrap, the site below provides more information.

back to me =] anyway so you don't want a list that says monday is fruitday and tuesday is meatday because they you may not get the proper intakes of the other foods on those days. Just don't eat candy, fast food for a little bit. also, watch how much you are eating that will help.
hope i helped!
p.s look on google for more...thats what i did to get the website =]
good luck!
