[quote=Anonymous]OP you and I are on a parallel path here. I have a bit more to lose than you--probably a good 40lbs (50lbs if I want to get back to pre-pregnancy college days weight), but I just started Wegovy and am one week in. Perhaps I'm imagining things, but everything you describe here is what I'm experiencing too and just a few days in.  To most people, I appear normal and not someone who overeats, but  I have my triggers--if we order pizza as a family, I can't help but have 3-4 pieces at a time or a few weeks ago, my kids decorated cookies and I helped myself to the icing container as a little treat and could not stop thinking about icing for days after (even though I prevented myself from going out an buying any).  Now that I'm on this medicine, I'm not thinking about snacking at all and I'm eating smaller portion sizes. And the movies--you described it perfectly! Usually I'd go with my kids and grab a glass of wine and help myself to a side of fries. We went last weekend--no interest in wine and I ate a sensible, high protein meal before we left.  I too am ashamed I couldn't figure this out on my own and usually I could keep it under control, but would let it slide and the sliding has added way up over the years. Plus I do work out so I think I'm able to maintain my heavier weight without gaining even more by working out--but you'd never know by looking at me that I run or bike nearly every day and lift.  Only my husband knows I'm on this too. I don't want to admit to anyone just yet but I plan to at some point once I know my longer term plan. I'm still a little concerned about side effects (had some mild nausea) and what titrating up will bring so I'm not out and about telling folks just yet. [/quote]
