    Im on Wegovy. Everyone on it keep saying how it cured their binge eating and obsessive thoughts on food but I feel gaslighted cuz nothing changed with me. Yes I feel full all the time but those obsessive thoughts are still VERY MUCH there and I find myself "craving" to binge eat even when Im achingly full. My food psychiatrist told me that it doesnt matter if you're on Ozempic, wegovy, or even have weight loss surgery, if you dont cured your mindset than you will never lose weight in the long term.

What people who are healthy mentally don’t get is there is no pleasure in binge eating. It’s done as punishment the same way starving yourself is. There is this self loathing aspect that is present. Don’t think for one minute that one is “easier” than the other or that one is worse than the other.

Months later she looked like she was in her late 60's to 70's. She had a lot of loose skin (appeared to have had severe muscle atrophy) with a lot of wrinkles on her face (around the eyes, lips, cheeks, and neck) and body (her arms and legs). And her skin lost that healthy young look. She looked severely aged.

    Also it seems to me that there has to be a point whereby the individual gets himself off the drug and normalizes. I say himself but isn't it more often herself? But it seems many people just keep on it like it's vitamins instead of a drug with side effects. Perhaps it's more like a pacifier at some point and they don't want to lose that comfort.
