In large part, it is that simple. I know that all my weight gain came from an excessive fondness for, um, mixed drinks. Now that the fondness is gone, it's easy to melt the pounds back off using calorie control. My heavier weight isn't my normal weight, the slimmer me is normal. I suspect that a lot of people can admit to excessive fondness for a lot of foods/liquids that don't have to be a part of their daily diet.
