I agree with this comment 100%. I stopped drinking and lost 20kg by changing my diet and taking up exercise. There is one caveat: You can make it easier by making better decisions sooner. I stopped buying shit food. I started making better food more often. I planned my day around exercise. No temptation from being at the pub. No temptation from snacks and sweets at home. Not temptation to skip a day because I had already exercised and would exercise further. We are powerful and building structures in our life is arbitrage from when we have excess power to when we need our power most.
