I did a lot of things, but all of them required a massive amount of sustained effort. I like that I can order the food I want to eat at a restaurant without looking up all the calories before I go. I like that I can just live my life without food thoughts taking up 60% of my brain space at any given time.

For some people, diet and lifestyle changes help control blood pressure. Other people need to take meds for the rest of their lives, anyway. We don't shame them for it.
