Montages and Hollywood have unconsciously taught us that personal change is easy, except for the things we cannot change.  Reality stubbornly insists that if you want to achieve, you have to put in the work. It's literally never been easier to control the body: gym training has an extremely low risk of injury compared to past bodybuilding, and the necessary nutrition is easily acquired. But you can't skip the effort. Your body will become the shape you deserve. If you don't like the shape you're in, then you don't like the habits you've been engaged in. But for some reason people can't connect their habits to their situations.
