But thats my point entirely. I wanted to lose some weight last year because it made me LOOk bad. I didn't like my image. Now I look pretty good.
On the other hand I NEED to get more exercise, but I do not want to do it. I find it boring and it takes time away from things I'd rather be doing, which just so happens to be anything besides exercise.
So while losing weight took will power, it took me really wanting to use that willpower to do it.
Exerise would take will power too, but unless I want to do it, its not going to happen.
We humans are very selfish creatures, even when doing the right thing we do it for selfish reasons. A saint is a saint because being such a person give them more pleasure or less pain than being evil. A fit person exercises and the like because it makes them happier than not doing it.
For people who are over weight and claim to hate it, they may hate it but they don't hate it as much as not being able to eat too much. This is where I say if you really hate it, then just stop it, if you don't, you really don't hate it enough. Be fat and happy, but don't blame things beyond yourself for why you are fat. Its childish to think you can always have your cake and eat it too :
