It's good to remember the following: you can't outrun/outwork a bad diet; it's easier to not eat 200 calories than try to burn it off later. I'm not saying don't exercise by any means, but if you're eating fast food once every day or so and trying to burn it off through cardio and/or weight training, you're probably not going to win the war. And if you're really serious about losing weight, you have to make it a lifestyle choice. It's one thing to to not eat junk food or cut your diet down to certain foods for a couple of months and have it lead to a healthier lifestyle where you eschew bad food choices the rest of your life. It's another to do it for a few months as a temporary way to cut weight and then go back to eating garbage only to gain back what you lost (and probably more).
As someone who has always been overweight his entire life, the will-power part of the dieting always does me in. It's something I have a hard time sticking to even though I know the science of how to lose weight.
