I do a fair bit of exercise, mostly I run, but also some weight training. I have also struggled with my weight and have lost quite a bit of weight counting calories.

Working out makes you fucking HUNGRY. Sometimes I have to stop running for a few weeks in order to get my diet in order. If I run, the willpower required to resist overeating will swamp me. Nothing is easy.
