Why is losing weight so hard?

You know, I could have put "summit the seven great mountains of the world and I would be more likely to achieve that than the overly ambitious goal of losing 43 pounds.  It's not to say that losing 43 pounds is impossible - thousands of people have done it...even I have done it in the past.

Truthfully I can't really figure out why I can't lose weight.  I have the knowledge on how to achieve it (eat less and better, exercise more) and I have the desire to achieve it (I want clothes to fit better, joints to hurt less etc.)  So...where is the disconnect?  Why do I keep sabotaging myself and can I get out of my own way this year to meet this goal?  I guess we'll see...

Here is a reflection of my struggle over the past few years...
