Very well put and so true!
I was also one who always looked for the easy way. I actually sunk to the level being hopeless... the media plays up the quick fixes so much that I actually believed that the only hope for me was weight loss surgery. I know the surgery isn't an easy way by any means but I felt that it was my only hope and I couldn't do it on my own. I'm just so thankful I never had it. While I have a few friends who are doing well from the surgery not everything works for everyone and they still have to work at it. Sure it's been hard to lose and get to where I am (I exercise at least 2 hours a day on average) but it's been MUCH easier than living how I was! Being fat is hard, hard, HARD!
Everything is about making good choices... Eating right but exercise is the key, plus I do simple things like parking as far away as I can from the door at stores.
It's the little things which add up to big things.
