Is losing weight really that hard or are people just lazy?

Depends on your age...

Once u hit over a certain age it becomes more harder to lose it...but u also have to change your eating habits...

My neighbor just passed away and she was at 500lbs... I believe she suffered from depression which kept her eating over and over, cause she was alone and never left the house

Both.

Genetics plays a huge part. Some people. Can eat a whole pizza and not gain a pound and some people eat two slices and gain weight

Knock on wood, but my metabolism is good. If I eat healthy for like two weeks I can lose ten pounds easy, no work outs or anything

I'm 27

I got to change now

I was depressed and it made me eat more at one point too. I won't lie.

Now I just eat because I like random bad foods

People are just lazy. They blame everything but themselves.
I blame myself because I like to eat and after work I rather went home instead of going to the gym but I know I am still young and I have time to change

I lost 40 pounds on my own before by eating healthy and doing cardio I think I just need to get myself a solid 3 months and see the progress and that will probably motivate me to continue To lose weight and eat right

Obesity its one thing its hard for me to sympathize with...not bc Im heartless, its just physical activity seems so simple to me.

I dunno..my little brother is like 12-13 & used to have a little weight on him but I kept taking him to the gym with me. Also bought a tredmill for him to use at home and dude works out on his own now..even lifts weights

People also wanna see results too fast and get discouraged when they don't see any

Well, check it out... the real issue is that most people (let's keep it at Americans though for these purposes) have no knowledge of proper diet/nutrition until it's already too late. The average person doesn't even think about getting into shape until they're already WELL out of shape... you can't spend the first thirty years of your life abusing your body with shyt foods and then expect to have 6% body fat after three months of exercise. And it's just going to get worse generation after generation, with all of this genetically modified steroid filled foods we have. American children aren't even given a good chance at good health because they're fed bullshyt from the womb, and it's all to line the pockets of the rich so they can get richer.

And I will say this much, everyone laments on the child obesity problem in America, but people keep talking about "It's 'cause the kids do this and don't do this, back in my generation, blah, blah, blah"... if a child is obese, it's not the child's fault.
