Approaching weight control as if you must resist food and force yourself to exercise is living a hellish nightmare that will only lead to psychiatric problems and eventual failure. That is the wrong way to change your life and your health. I am not within 25 lbs of my ideal weight instead of 120 because I am able to resist donuts. I am this weight now because I educated myself and kicked the addictions of smoking, drinking, soda, fast food, high fructose corn syrup, and I enjoy walking and doing things.
