Do you meditate? The book talks about an interesting concept of how hard it is to be in the present moment. Our mind is filled with distractions. My personal take on this as I struggle with my weight is that food is a distraction for me. If I can find a way to be in the present without the food distraction, I would be helping myself. Yes

To recognize your problem requires wisdom. Meanwhile the fact that we have ups and down is a part of life and that helps us have empathy for others. Do you work on obtaining the strength to not drag yourself down? Yes
