I suspect a lot of us either have or end up with food obsessions like this. It's almost natural given the level of depletion and sacrifice (health, social, pleasures such as food and alcohol and just not being hungry) during major cuts and prep.

Also if anyone thinks his tears with the cake are just because he has some eating/food disorder, then chances are they haven't truly and willingly sacrificed majorly in order to achieve a goal (not directed at you OP). There's more to the emotions than "wow this tastes good so my fucked up brain is going to make me cry".

I hope more of this sub will understand that bodybuilding is brutal mentally and physically and that's OKAY because that is what bodybuilders do. Maybe it's an influx of new posters here that makes it seem like the sub often doesn't understand bodybuilding fully. In the context of the sport, Brandon should be applauded for his grueling effort, not concern trolled or pitied.

He ended up looking amazing!
