Americans really are extremely undisciplined when it comes to weight loss. I’ve seen countless people try some kind of weight loss program, only to quit 1-2 weeks later. Then they’ll complain that they aren’t seeing any results. And the excuses they come up with as to why they stopped or won’t even start it are mind blowing. They get all motivated at first, but what they lack is discipline. Motivation might get you off the couch initially for a day or 2 to get after it, but discipline is what will carry you all the way through long term. It is really hard to have sympathy for the vast majority of obese people. They intentionally make things unnecessarily hard on themselves with minimal to no effort.
