If losing weight and/or getting healthy is a priority, change your environment.
Since 2012, I've been living in different places throughout the world, roughly 3 to 4 months at a time. In some countries I have lost weight and in others, especially the United States, I have gained weight.
Am I a different person in these countries? No. I'm the same person, with the same "will power" but my access to food is different, my social activities are different, my level of physical activity is different.
Understandably, the extent to which any person can change their environment is not always easy. But, it is a place to start. Instead of looking to "will" yourself to a healthier routine, look for things that are enabling your access to food, look for relationships that are enabling you, etc.
