Answer 1

it is so hard because you are tempted by all the wonderful food

Answer 2

Pretend that you are in a third world country that does not have electricity or example: you have no electricity for a year. What are you going to do. You have to grow and wait for all your veggies and farm raise and wait for your live stock. After that, can you eat your animals. YES ! because all that waiting is turn you into skin and bone and muscles.

Fattening sugar adds up before we know it
If you’re thick about your midsection, or the bathroom scale announces a weight that exceeds expectation, sugar could be the culprit. It’s in almost everything we eat. Campbell’s Tomato Soup has loads of sugar; fat-free raspberry sorbet has sugar. Oatmeal-almond cereals and turkey sandwiches, especially the ones with honey mustard dressing, all have sugar.
We eat a lot of sugar. How much is "a lot"?

Americans reportedly get more than 500 sugar calories a day, which is about a third of the caloric intake most older adult women require. And if you’re filling up on sugar, you’re probably not eating other foods important to good health, like whole-grain products and those antioxidant vegetables. It’s complicated because sometimes those good-for-you foods, especially the packaged and processed versions, have hidden sugars.

It may start with "just a little" sugar in your morning coffee. At this moment you may be thinking, perhaps a bit defensively, "I actually don’t have sugar in my coffee" or "I use artificial sweetener." OK. But just maybe you color/flavor that coffee with something liquid that has "low fat, low sugar" on the container. Or maybe you’ve never really looked at the sugar content of a serving? Just wondering.

Now I recognize getting sugar out of our diets completely would be impossible. Fruits have sugar — and they’re good for us. Milk has sugar — good for us, too. It’s not practical to think we can completely eliminate sugar. But we might be able to better manage sugar intake and "added sugars." Just try it for a few days, maybe even a week.

Think of yourself as a sugar tracker. Go on a simple (lifesaving) mission to eat less sugar than you did the day before.

Are you willing? Let’s examine this more closely. The bottle of creamer I am looking at right now says 3 grams of sugar per serving (a serving size is one tablespoon). Let’s say you add three tablespoons of creamer to each cup of coffee. And let’s say you have three cups of coffee every morning. Sugar is sneaky — a sprinkle here, a couple of splashes there. It adds up.

Grab something you eat regularly. Just take anything in your kitchen cupboard and look at the label, particularly where it breaks out the sugars from the total carbohydrates. And also check to see if high-fructose corn syrup is among the first three ingredients. Other sugar-loaded words include sucrose, dextrose, glucose, maltose, honey and molasses. (There are some less obvious ones, like turbinado and amazake.) Consider these words as a good (make that "bad") indicator of "added" sugars.

Track this, just for a few days. Here’s a reference point. The typical nutritionist’s recommendation says no more than 50 grams of sugar a day. Some new dietary guidelines seem to be suggesting no more than 24 grams (6 teaspoons) a day. The World Health Organization recommends 12 grams a day.

Remember my coffee-with-creamer example? That’s 27 grams of sugar. And that’s just morning coffee. That’s before you have even had the first bite of your oatmeal-almond cereal.

Answer 3

Because if you diet well that means change
Change your eating habits and exercise
The ego does not like change so it is sort of a fight between your ego and your soul.
Change means mental growth.
So if you can put you mind to it and you will see the effects
You will start to feel better on the inside that is your Soul
Very pleased with you and your change and a victory over your ego
