It isn't just about will power or exercise. It is about knowing what to do to avoid losing the ability to resist bad choices and how to make good choices that lead to better choices later on. 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.
