It might have to do with them not actually believing they can do it, but they believe in the circle jerk and might just not want it badly enough either. Very annoying. Either lose weight or just move on, but don't be spinning the wheels and failing arggh.

That's the thing...it's really not that hard. Everyone I know thinks me being fit is this fleeting state I tenuously hold on to, and that I have to work so hard to keep it. I'll admit it does take some work at first, but once you get here your system becomes armor plated against fat gain. And you can get fit with the moderate approach -- it's just a matter of how long you're willing to wait for results.
I tell people there's a whole list of things to do (or not do), and just take those things from the list which can be worked into their lifestyle without too much burden. Make those things habits and you won't even notice you're doing it. Actually, living a fit lifestyle is incredibly enjoyable for me, and I think most people would find the same thing if they changed the necessary things and gave them a chance to stick. And if someone wants a cupcake, they can fucking eat it if it fits into the daily calorie allotment.
