(ABC News)

TRENTON, N.J. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie opened up about his weight problem in an interview with ABC News and stressed he is trying to lose weight, a battle hes waged for 30 years, but said hes never considered gastric bypass surgery because its too risky.

I mean, see, listen, I think theres a fundamental misunderstanding among people regarding weight and regarding all those things that go into, to people being overweight, Christie said in an interview that will air Tuesday on Nightline. I think folks say yeah, well he must just not be disciplined, you know, or he must not have willpower that kind of thing. I guess the best analogy to make is some people drink too much. Some people take drugs. Some people eat too much. See, you can go live every day without drinking. You can live every day without taking drugs. You cant live every without eating.

Christie, who often jokes about his weight, but rarely opens up about the struggle, acknowledged that its a really difficult thing to deal with.

Christie said he works out with a trainer four days a week and is trying to eat better, but said its really difficult like to eat better.

With running around all the time and grabbing things on the go. But Im trying to eat better, Christie said in the interview from the state capitol. Im working at it. But obviously, Im not there. But I also have hope that I can get there.

Christie suffers from asthma and was admitted to the hospital last summer, but said besides that ailment he is healthy and sees the doctor regularly.
