I wish it were that way for me. I've discovered I can't out-ride a bad diet.
In my case I had to make a very conscious decision to adhere to a strict diet plan, and then persevere through it. I can't think of a single day where I wasn't desiring food I shouldn't eat, in quantities I don't need. As I sit here and type I'm wishing I could chow down. If I don't force myself to keep my diet in check I won't, and I have the body to prove it.
At the end of the year can I look back and be thankful I made the right diet decisions? Absolutely.
In the midst of each individual day do I find it a difficult and real struggle to eat healthy? Absolutely.
