If you don't accept that's it a forever change, a full-on lifestyle change, of course you'll put the weight back on when you go back to the same eating and activity levels you had as an obese person. Temporary fix = temporary results.

I used to be overweight, now I'm not (I lost 25% of my body weight). The weight has been off for 5 years and intend to keep it that way (exception being that I gained 35lbs while pregnant and lost it after my son was born). So I'm another anecdotal story I guess. But I struggled with my weight from age 20-27, until I finally figured out that I *was* actually just making excuses, and I *did* have too much sugar and junk in my diet. I stopped making excuses and that was the "silver bullet" for me.
