[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel the same way... I'm a great cook, love my whole grains and fresh veg etc etc. Maybe kind of sanctimonious about it sometimes, even. And I'm [i]powerless[/i] when faced with a bag of cheetos.

I'm afraid what worked was a GLP drug. That was the big effect. It eliminated the appeal of junk food-- an open bowl of chips in front of me simply didn't register. Kind of magic, that.

We are living in Aldous Huxley's nightmare, where the most effective way to fight back against the junk food industrial complex is with an expensive product from the pharmaceutical industrial complex. And then once we've lost the weight, we'll buy all-new disposable fast-fashion wardrobes. If only we had the leisure promised in Brave New World... [/quote]

GLP-1 saved me, too. It's a miracle to no longer be powerless against the pull of ice cream and chocolate bars. Like you said - I can go to a party now and the most delicious cheese and crackers will be out and I'll be ambivalent. Prior to the GLP-1, I'd stand there and eat 20 crackers and then hate myself. I am on a miniscule dose now after losing the 20 lbs I wanted to, and I don't think I'll ever stop. I don't want to go back to constantly battling cravings.[/quote]
