The problem is people tend to think they just need to try hard for a few months, then "I can go back to normal." But if "normal" is what made you overweight in the first place...

The only way to maintain a healthy weight, is to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Forever.

maintaining a healthy lifestyle isn't a chore, it's a symptom of a driven individual's mastery of all tools available at their disposal

(not that you said it was)

It certainly isn't a chore once you're "in the flow of things," but transitioning is hard. It means making _major_ lifestyle changes, and often includes restructuring relationships around you (you may need to get a new set of friends, and potentially even a new partner).
