Two decades of my life were spent convinced that my failure was a discipline problem. I tried it all, even bariatric surgery. Each loss reversed itself eventually. The shame was crushing, and the standard advice, eat less and exercise more, made me feel weak. Mounjaro came next. The scale dropped 68 kg (150 lbs), yet that wasnt what shocked me most. What shocked me most: all those years the enemy was my biology, not me. For the first time the constant food noise vanished. Eating normally, stopping at fullness, and freeing my day from food thoughts became possible. The deepest emotional blow was the harshness of my own verdict on myself over the decades. For years I blamed a flawed character, though the real issue was a disease that at last had a treatment that works.
