   I actually believe that losing weight (not gaining it) is dead simple; same for quitting smoking, drinking, gaming, you name it; if somebody is not doing it — they simply don't want it; if they say they can't — they're lying
   is this Dunning-Kruger or?

     several possible reasons like
     - contradictory motivators
     - lacking self control (intrinsic or due to illness)
     - trauma
     - depression
     - other psychological, psychosomatic or somatic illness
     
     often the reasons people became addicted or overweight are the same reason why they cannot stop.
     
     so treatment must not be to e.g. help them lose weight, but treat the underlying condition.
