Don’t think of it like a weakness or anything like that - it’s brain chemistry (not always, but for most of what we’re talking here, it is). Presently, the only way to change the chemicals in your brain is through medication

Think of it like diabetes. Would you feel that way if you were taking insulin?

Or think of it like chemo. Chemo sucks, cancer is a “game over”

There are people who think insulin dependency is a choice.

In case of diabetes from obesity - it is a choice. Irreversible one.

Edit: not always irreversible.

Thought it actually is reversible, at least in some cases?

~~Are you talking about KRISP or another gene editing technique?~~
That was stupid from my side.

Nah, just thought that obesity-induced diabetes is (at least partially / in some cases) reversible by losing weight
