[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I eat too many treats and I dont exercise enough.

Yes, I had 4 kids.
Yes, I am getting older.
Yes, I work full time.

But these are all excuses and I really need to stop making them. I want to cut down my sugar and carb intake but dont even know where to start. I have done WW and MFP in the past but I "cheat" and then dont lose and I give up. I wish I could eat whatever I want and not be fat but its not working. I have read all the books and understand the science, I just lack simple will power. I have been struggling with my weight since I was 13 and it never gets any easier. I am just so tired of trying and failing. I have approx 30 lbs to lose and it just seems insurmountable.

Also overweight, and irrationally annoyed at you for this post. It just reinforces the stereotypes people have about all of us just lacking "simple willpower," and that is so much bullshit.

Not the OP but for some of us it IS about willpower. There are a myriad reasons for why people are overweight. For me it's about willpower and laziness. I'm 5'4 and last year I weighed 215. I started working out and counting calories (focusing on eating healthier). I lost 35 pounds and a lot on inches!! Then the weather got cold and I stopped running. I hate the treadmill so I went back to being lazy and then fell back into my old eating habits. I gained back 25 lbs. I know how to change it. There's no mystery to why I'm fat. I am lacking the motivation to do anything about it. I'm the fat girl who makes fat jokes about herself as a defense mechanism. I empathize with everyone who struggles with weight issues.
