Ya know what I think it is, speaking from personal experience when it comes to weight loss, I think its more lifestyle then dedication, because once you've changed how you eat, after a while it becomes normal, like it doesnt feel hard for me to eat the way I eat, I'm used to it. So I think this aspect of changing your body and losing weight or keeping to 10% bodyfat is what people dont think about the most.
Also it took me a while to realise but you cant really help other people, they have to help themselves first, what I mean is, I've tried to get some of my friends and family to eat healthy and join a gym, and 99% of the time I failed and this is because the person has to want to do this for themselves.
Kinda like smokers, you cant tell them to stop smoking, they have to want to do it themselves.
So I reckon that people who're fat especially probably think the thought of losing weight, eating healthy and going to the gym is a big task, but I dont think it is. They just have to make the first step, and then stick to it, after 6 months of going to the gym 3-4 times a week it becomes the norm, just like after 6 months of eating differently becomes the norm.
So I just wanted to explain this part of it all in detail because I think theres still loads of people out there that think its harder then it is. I hope you get what am trying to say.
