- Comment on Anon goes on a diet 2 days ago:
i finally told my doctor that I wasn’t able to do it on my own. My whole adult life I’ve been trying to lose weight, and always felt like a failure. Even when I really buckled down, I’d lose a few kilos, but then put them back on, every time. I have always loved to exercise, but my intake always exceeded my outflow.
A big part of the problem is that I couldn’t remember NOT being hungry. Anytime somebody said “do you want to eat?” my answer was always yes. And when in calorie deficit, I would be constantly thinking about when my next meal would be, what I could eat, it was all consuming, if you’ll pardon the pun.
Getting medical help has been life changing. I’ve lost 15 kilos over the course of 7 months and I hope to continue that steady decline. The drugs silence the constant food noise. I feel like this must be what normal people feel like.
