Of course it does. The "geek's" stereotypical problems with women is a prison of his own design. Same with all sorts of health and diet issues.

- stcredzero 15y agoI just lost 14 pounds. However, the instincts around body homeostasis are very, very strong. I don't think it's reasonable to presume that it's all self sabotage. http://lesswrong.com/lw/ab/akrasia_and_shangrila/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/ab/akrasia_and_shangrila/
- Psyonic 15y agoSure, but people manage to do it all the time. Like this girl on reddit today: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/hlgtb/iama_24_yo_girl_who_has_lost_137lbs_and_changed/ http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/hlgtb/iama_24_yo_girl_... Btw, I lost 20 pounds in the last 6 months, so I know what it's like. That said, once you make it a habit, it's not that bad. The hardest thing with food is avoiding "just one cigarette". Just takes a few days of crappy eating / not exercising for your old habits to take over again. You really have to watch out for that.
