*reads topic*
Wow there is some rude arrogant assholes in this topic.

When I stopped smoking cigarettes a few years ago my weight started skyrocketing. I've always been somewhat overweight since I was like 8 years old I never cared and was happy with myself before, but it went extreme to the point I am unhappy about it now. I was 5'10" 230lbs when I quit smoking. I'm now 340lbs. That weight was gained in the last 3 and 1/2 years.

I am a fast food junkie, have been since I was a kid. The general trait I find is if it's not a burger and fries I won't like it. Eating healthy is not exactly easy for everyone. What if you hate healthy foods? I hate chicken and fish I hate all veggies and I can only eat so much fruit before I get very sick of it (to the point that thinking about it makes me gag). You should enjoy the foods you eat, bottom line. I do drink a lot of Tea and Water as I have to have something to drink at all times and while I love soda it usually gives me heartburn so lots of water and tea for me so thats not a problem.

The things I love to do, the things I absolutely like doing aren't physical (gaming, movie/tv watching, reading) I'll be damned if I spend all week working my ass off at work and class then when I finally get a few hours on the weekend, spend it doing something I absolutely loathe..no I'm going to spend my free time doing something I like doing.

Oh and don't give me the will power speech, I smoked for nearly a decade was up to 2 packs a day and one day I decided to quit and I quit and haven't smoked a cigarette since then. That's willpower.

Willpower is not the problem, the problem is my personal tastes, the enjoyment of life. I could be miserable and hate my life but feel good health wise or I can enjoy my life, but feel miserable health wise. This is the problem I currently feel like I face.
