I have struggled with weight fluctuation gaining and loosing the same 30 lbs many times over the years. I could never keep the weight off because my body is constantly starving. I am hungry from the time I wake until the time I fall asleep at night. Eating gives me anywhere from 0 relief to 2 hours max relief before the suffering of gnawing deep hunger is back. Because of the physicial discomfort, I constantly obsess about food. It was the first thing on my mind when waking and the last thing on my mind at night. I even saw a counselor to try to find the undlerlying reason that I overate and could never make weight loss last. (Newsflash, there is only so much suffering a person can take before they reach their mental limit. 6 months of intense day and night suffering, crying, weak shakey, can't concentrate on work to loose 20 or 30 lbs is all I can stand before giving up. He helped me to see that I ate, not because of food addition, but because I was actually too hungry.) Then enter my savior, Tirzepatide. From the first day, I knew something was different. I wasn't hungry anymore!!!! I was free from the prision of hunger! Food was something I used to nurish my body when I needed to, and no more. I never cried or felt deprived, because I wasn't deprived. I was eating what I wanted, when I wanted and lost 40 lbs in 5 months. The trick is that I didn't care about food or eating at all, so I didn't want much and much less food satisfied me for much longer. I know take a small injection every other week and have maintained for 5 months. I would recommend for anyone like me.
