[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have been on it for a while, you should have a very good idea of how much to eat/portion control that works for you maintain current weight goal.  So you should be able to go off it and maintain the same eating and exercise program you’ve been doing.  You may *want to eat more off of it, but you will know how much you should be eating and be disciplined and stick to that- and keep eye on scale frequently

That sounds good, but it doesn’t address the problem. Once you have been obese, it affects your hormones in a way that seriously increases hunger and “food noise” in your head. The drug addresses that. So yes, I now know how many calories to eat to maintain or lose weight. But I knew that for many decades BEFORE the drug. The difference is with the drug I can achieve that calorie target without feeling famished all the time. People who haven’t been fat don’t understand how different it feels if you are overweight. It isn’t just psychological. It’s physiological.[/quote]

I have never been fat but I have often felt famished all the time when I eat within my calorie target. I manage that with exercise and eating certain foods to help with the starving feeling. But I’m genuinely curious as to whether the feeling of hunger/famishment that overweight people feel is even worse? Beyond a feeling of hunger, do they exhibit symptoms of addiction withdrawal too?  Would wegovy help me with not feeling that gnawing hunger all the time?[/quote]
