I am not sure that success with diet and exercise is really about will power as much as it is about cultivating good habits, your beliefs and what you tell yourself about diet and exercise and planning for success - like having the ingredients to make meals and snacks that are reasonably health and suitable for your weight loss goal but also easy and quick enough to prepare and enjoyable enough so you don't opt for something like fast food that is conducive to your goals for weight loss.

It is good that you enjoy working out! Perhaps you could play around with the way you think about working out when you are in a funk (or for me - when I am feeling stressed -- or in a funk) -- in theory exercise should actually be helpful for getting out of a funk or dealing with stress.
