True, different strokes for different folks. I also believe that I needed to address many different facets of my life in order to have the energy/mindset to lose weight ... therapy, weekly support group (TOPS), online support forums, Curves membership, and reading various articles about every aspect of weight loss (psychological, social, diet/lifestyle, nutrition), and lots of behavior modification. That's what keeps me going and keeps me motivated.
I find a health initiative to be much, much more difficult than quitting smoking ever was, interestingly enough.
And, actually, I found the article particularly insightful not just for weight loss but for parenting and life in general. Everybody could benefit from knowing that "happiness" is a feeling and it can change.
