[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can see why you’re bothered.  [b]Changing your diet and having the willpower to say no to food when you’re craving it is more difficult than when you take a medication that decreases your appetite.[/b]  I would think you’re creating lifestyle changes that are sustainable so that is a huge benefit to doing it the old fashioned way.  I’m quite impressed with what you have accomplished.  What was the motivating factor and how did you keep going?[/quote]

If you have a home chef to cook you healthy meals, is that "cheating"? What if you have a part-time job and plenty of time to shop, cook, and work out? Does that negate the person's achievement in losing weight, as compared to someone working full-time with kids? There are so many factors that influence "willpower," not the least of which is good sleep. One who is able to sleep well through the night needs far less willpower to make healthy choices than a person who has poor sleep, whether due to disruptions, lack of time, hormones, sleep apnea, etc. We see judgment based on "lifestyle choices" and "structuring life" to promote health, but in reality, it is far easier to exhibit these so-called virtues when you have wealth and autonomy.
