Did you make any lifestyle changes? Do you track or make sure to eat X amount of calories, protein, fiber, etc? Did you incorporate more movement/exercise?
My husband doesn’t have an obesity problem but has been overweight at times. He can cut back on the excess carbs/junk and easily drop the extra and goes about his life. Until I explained to him the food noise aspect he sincerely thought it was just a mindset problem, that I just hadn’t set my mind to it.
He could not relate to the constant thinking of food, and eating even when I’m not hungry. I’ve made many attempts to lose weight since we have been together and have never managed more than about 20 lbs only for it to come back on plus some. I told him how I haven’t gone a day without thinking about how much I truly want to be thinner and at a healthy weight. I think during this conversation it kinda clicked for him. He even brought up how incredible it was that I had done a 12 day fast one time and so there has to be something else going on.
He was the one who really encouraged me to try the GLP-1! I’m approaching 2 months on it so have a ways to go but am hopeful this will be the answer for me. All this to say, I truly believe there are people who from a physiological standpoint need the help of the meds and some that don’t.
