&gt;I think there are millions of people in the US who &quot;want&quot; to change their situation.<p>And there are 10s of millions who want to lose weight.  Is there a significant social issue preventing the loss of weight, is losing weight an achievable American dream... or does want alone not achieve a dream?  The problem isn&#x27;t the lack of desire, it is the lack of discipline.<p>Even if we made becoming filthy rich as easy as losing weight why would people do the former when they still can&#x27;t do the latter today?
