The will power to eat less fatty foods and to burn the same mount of calories (or more calories) than one consumes.
No one has any self-controlled 'will power'. The ambition and determination that someone feels to lose weight isn't self-determined, it's a result of genetic/environmental circumstances, when those circumstances change so will their 'will power'.
Some overweight people would have to work twice, thrice etc. times harder than most people would to maintain a healthy weight and many thin people (the same ones who criticize overweight people for lacking will power) who assume that overweight people would only have to exert the same effort that they would to lose weight don't have the will power it would actually take to lose weight if they had the same medical or genetic disposition to being as overweight.
