That part is what stayed with me too. It reframes everything. Not willpower failure, something else going on underneath.

The aversion to food that isn't satisfying is the GLP-1 effect working correctly - bored eating stops delivering dopamine reward, so the automatic mid-session stop is the brain doing what it should.

235 to 159 in seven months is past the 50% total loss threshold. Switching compounds when a new approval lands is a reasonable option if the current ceiling shows signs of narrowing.

I started last Friday too. Don't feel any real difference yet. No noticeable side effects. It might be placebo, but my sugar cravings are less, and I feel full with smaller portions. Honestly, it's probably placebo since I'm only on the starting dose, but who knows. Either way, I'm focusing on...

I asked the same thing a few weeks ago. Someone suggested a podcast that explains how these meds work and how to take care of your metabolism. It's been really enlightening.

It's incredible how much weight some people are losing! Saw a post where someone lost almost 100 pounds! I'm curious, Tone_Fam, how long have you been on your medication?

I use Company D. Never talked to anyone directly.

Hang in there, Vial_Tracker. I know it's tough when you're feeling crummy. But if you can push through, it might be worth it. Think about the non-scale victories too. I read a post about someone who started at 270+ lbs and was too big for roller coasters. Now they're in maintenance and feeling...
