For me, I just don't have the willpower it takes.
Maybe if you start by writing down everything you eat it make give you an idea of what you're taking in? Are you less active now than you were before?
It's not easy.

I think age is a factor as well....it is harder to get those "snacker pounds" off as we get older....I was a "grazer" until other issues arose so I had to stop and begin walking every day......I think with any job, putting on pounds can happen.
