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.

This is exactly it though. If someone is committed to losing the weight and consistently works out, stays active and eats decently, theyre going to lose the weight
If you lose the drive and go back to old habits you're not going to be successful. Just like any addiction, you need to fight the urges and stick to what needs to be done, and if you want to lose it long term you have to live that lifestyle forever. Its extremely difficult especially if you arent committed to being completely healthy, but its possible
As annoyed as some people get hearing what they should eat or how they should work out or whatever it is, I also get annoyed at the people who say to me "well you're tall and skinny, its easy for you to be in shape." Its not at all though, I could be fat much easier. I work hard everyday and eat quite well, just because im currently in shape doesnt mean I dont need to continue to work at it, or else id be one of the people this article is talking about
