Food is an addiction for many, just like any other addiction. It's easy to minimize it to willpower, but it's the same thing as complaining about a gambling addict that can't control themselves.

I will say of course I am a bit biased as I take the medication, but my mindset shifted once I did. It's easy from the outside to see it as a cheat, and for some people it probably is no doubt, but it's really just another tool in the journey to getting healthy for many.

I don't know that "it's not cheating once you're on the cheating side" is that compelling of an argument.

Guys on roids don't think they're cheating either, but we have separate categories for them for a reason.

You can lose weight without ceasing to enjoy food. If that's what you want to do, that's great, but that's not a life I want to live.

Everyone gets to make their own choice, you get to make yours too. I'm just saying how *I* approach food and makes it easy/easier to cut or maintain. Some people love food and some don't, I never "loved" food so it was an easy change for me.

Different people are different and there's room for everyone man. We don't have to be the same.

Don't get me started on berries. They've always been obscenely expensive. Especially when you compare cost to calories. I think theyre the worst item in the entire store in that regard.

I grow my berries. I just don't care to eat that many to begin with, and blueberries, raspberries, figs, pomegranates, and strawberries grow pretty well in texas. I like to grow as much of what I eat as possible, so I always have something of a victory garden going. Salads, fruits and vegetables taste way better if you grow them yourself, proven fact.

I desperately want to grow my own berries. I'm like zero for twenty on trying to get raspberries established.

Texas A&M has very good public resources on how to get things to grow in texas. The basic answer with raspberries in particular is you need shade.
