[quote=Anonymous]Here’s what I would say.

Imagine you’ve been working in a room all day, you’re hungry, and someone brings in a delicious pizza.

You’re really, really hungry for the first slice, right? Even a naturally thin person would say it’s hard to say no to the first slice.

But then the second one maybe not so much, and the third one maybe not at all, etc.

I knew this in theory, like how a psychopath can mimic emotions. But saying no to the third slice was as hard for me as saying no to the first one. Given the option, I would eat the pizza until I was physically distended, which is all I knew of being “full.”

Honestly 1 week on the lowest dose of semaglutide blew. my. mind.

Suddenly I DON’T want the second slice as badly as the first, and the third one maybe not at all. It’s not because of slowed digestion, because it happens too fast for that to be the difference (although it does slow your digestion). And it completely stopped the noise in my head about what to eat next that used to be there all the time between meals.

Everything I’d ever read or been told about making healthy choices and moderation that I thought I was just to weak to execute, I suddenly can.

So obviously it’s important to note that we can’t step into other people’s shoes and know who feels what. But given that this hasn’t changed my personality in any other way, I can’t really believe that this is just making it easier for me because I was feeling what everyone was feeling but too weak to control myself before. I’m very strong in other areas of self control and executive function but I’ve always struggled with eating. Now, it feels much more in line with the way other people describe it. [/quote]
