Excersise and eating right definitely helped me trim it off, and a lack of continuing that coupled with a retread to bad eating habits has seen me take a turn back.

So as you say "well just get up and go work out" or "well just eat healthy" for some people equates to telling a smoker to just stop smoking. Or telling a drinker to just stop drinking. These are the vices that we have to live with, some people's are different than others and just because you find it easy to choose between an apple and a piece of cake, doesn't mean everyone makes that decision so easily.
Very valid points and I totally agree with you. I agree that working out and eating healthy is definitely hard for some people, hell it's hard for me... I love fast food ans grease.

Although if you were truly and I mean truly committed then could you not spend an hour a day exercising at some point? Or choosing a vegetable or fruit over french fries. It's all about the choices that we make going forward. It might be harder for some people but that's when you really have to look in the mirror and decide what you really want. You have to look inside yourself and make that choice, same applies to quitting smoking and drinking. If you really want to do it, then you can.. it's all psychological. It's definitely harder for some people but it's not impossible.
