It was simple for me and so is answering your question (at least in my case) it is easy to be fat and somewhat enjoyable. No it is not fun walking around with an extra 100# of blubber on you but who amongst us does not enjoy the habits that got us fat? Now that we are on the right track do you like pizza, beer, sweets, fancy dinners or whatever your particular fancy is less? The answer is most likely no. Is running HIIT sessions until you want to drop suddenly become physically enjoyable to you? Once again probably not. The simple truth for me is I did not want to be the nice fat guy anymore and I knew what I had to do about and I knew it was going to take me out of my comfort zone. Fortunately for me lifting weights came easy and was quite enjoyable so I stayed with that for the 1st 3 years. To push myself further out of my comfort zone I started running (Which I always hated) and although I am slow I am doing something to improve myself and to never let myself fall back into that comfort zone. As to each of our particular reasons why we decide to do something about our conditions or choose not I would not even be able to fathom a guess. What I do know is that to some point we make the decisions that affect our weight and we make the excuses that will keep us fat or we do the work to make us healthy. I just got sick of shaving with that fat gut looking back at me in the mirror.
