This was hard for me to understand as well. Some people just don't want to change.
My mom had wanted to lose weight for as long as I can remember. Every morning, she'd stand half naked in front of the mirror, watching her body, sad. She always had those "I'm fat because I eat too little" kind of excuses. I tried explaining CICO to her a few months ago, getting her to weight her food and track calories. I didn't bother with macros and exercise, as I thought it would've been too much at once for her. She also hates cardio with passion, but at least she does yoga once a week and walks a lot (I'd say a minimum of 5 km a day). I've seen her weight her food twice since then. She tracked it maybe once per week, thinking back on what she ate, eyeballing the quantities, and also including the activities to lower the calories per day. She grew tired of it as of now. Losing 0,5 kg a week isn't fast enough for her (even though she doesn't need to lose more than perhaps 10 kg altogether), but she couldn't even stay in that 500 kcal a day deficit. She wants something instant and effortless.
Being fat is a state of mind.
