It is so easy to lose weight if you have your priorities straight, at least for guys. When it is diet time I drop a pound a day with a strict ass diet and exercise. .. I'm just to lazy to punish myself like that for a lifetime so I gradually pack it back on. I just don't get obese people and why they choose to live like that.
The problem is, the bigger you get the harder it is to lose weight.
You become more self conscious and as a result you don't want to go to the gym due to that. You will have to work harder than anybody else in that gym because simply walking at a moderate pace is excruciating. It will also take you longer to get to a weight you perceive as 'normal' or acceptable. It just all round takes more effort to go out and exercise when you become obese. The end result is you become more and more of a depressed mess, many people will take to comfort eating, which leads them to get even more fat and you become even more lazy. It's a vicious cycle I suppose.
The thing is though, losing weight is actually incredibly easy, like you said. I'd say 80% of losing weight is simply diet. I could lose 30lbs in a month or so just by dieting and watching my calorie intake. In fact, I plan on losing at least half that within the next 3 weeks.
