[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are you doing now? If you’re truly struggling, talk to a therapist (intuitive eating is terrific IMO and lifestyle-change oriented vs calories and quick loss w/o a maintenance plan) or your PCP.[/quote]

For what it’s worth I thought intuitive eating was total crap. YMMV but I think there’s something really toxic about the idea that I just needed to “listen to my body” more or whatever after a lifetime of struggling with weight and blood sugar and losing and re-gaining weight time after time.

Now that I’m on Ozempic and I actually feel fullness and hunger in “normal” patterns I’m even more angry about the idea that I was just not “listening” before.

Everyone is different and it’s impossible to know what one person is feeling vs another, and right now medicine provides very little help in the way of assessing why some of us are responding to semaglutide so differently from others and what that means about obesity or whatever.

I’m just throwing this out there so OP had another perspective. When something like “intuitive eating” doesn’t work for you it’s easy to feel like it’s your fault and I just don’t think it’s that simple. [/quote]

As someone who was an obese child, I completely agree with all of this. Intuitive eating has never and could never work for me. For whatever cursed reason, when I listen to my body, it says “I’m so hungry let’s eat.” And even though I have worked hard to eat very clean with lots of produce, lean proteins, and whole grains, my default setting is just too too high.

I’m not on Ozempic but I do take meds to control my hunger. [/quote]
