this says it all, for me anyway

It's not that some people have willpower and that some people don't. It's that some people are ready to change and others are not and That's The Truth!

Oh hell yeah!  You have to be ready. I know, over the past few years I have given up smoking, alcohol, and now fattening foods in large quantities.  All of which I would not have done if I wasn't ready to do it.  Those were all daily habits for me, but that was the key. They were habits, I never felt "addicted" to them, just that was my routine. 

That is so true!!!!
