One person says losing weight is possible because they did it once. Another person says they cannot lose weight because they've been trying for years and it's not happening. Which one is true? Must be the one that I'm most closely aligned with!

Everyone can lose weight though, and we all know what works to do it. You simply eat less food.

The hard part for everyone is manifesting the willpower to resist hunger. Often it takes a life-threatening health scare to manifest that willpower for people, and then they diet and lose weight to avoid dying.
