‘When the why is strong, the how becomes easy’

He wrote, “The most underrated weight loss hack is having a strong why: Why do you want to lose weight? If your answer is ‘I want to look better’ or ‘I want to feel better’… that is not going to be enough to get you out of bed in the morning.”

He added, “Why do you want to look better? Why do you want to feel better? If your reason for wanting to lose weight is not stronger than your desire to eat BS (bulls***) food all the time, it does not matter what kind of ‘diet’ you are on. You are likely to quit the same way I did for six consecutive years. When the why is strong, the how becomes easy.”
