I'm not saying it's my fault - it obviously is - but when I was younger I didn't have the time or energy to worry much about it. Suddenly one day I woke up and discovered I had gained weight quickly, and the changes I made - dieting and going to gym - didn't help at all.

Just for example It takes me 30 minutes every 3 days to cook 6lbs of ground turkey, 8 cups of rice, weighed, prepped, sealed in pyrex dishes. I did it through college as well, while working full time....same deal. I get it, other things take precedence in your life but if you took a step back and combined all those times stopping for fast food you very well could have fit it in there and saved yourself time and money throughout your day by not having to stop.
If you want it bad enough you have to make it part of your life...after all it is a life style change. Anyone that "diets" is just making a temporary change.
Your changes of dieting and going to the gym didnt work because youre not approaching it properly or implementing them the right way. If you want a legitimate diet to follow that will allow you to lose weight and eat things you enjoy id be more than happy to help.
