No one is talking about why we want to eat so goddamn much. There is a brain issue at play here that is not discussed. I have been active my whole adult life and have always been either overweight or doing some kind of diet. Every time I lost weight it came back later on and yeah I am to blame but how can anyone just spend their whole existence fighting their brain.

I decided to try one of these famous GLP-1 agonists and oh boy does that change everything. My brain just decided to shut up all the food thoughts. Just gone. There is something in our current diet/environment screwing up our inner desire for food and that is reflected in our behaviour. Our conscious thoughts aren’t enough to control that behaviour fully.

I expect a shift in the future on how obesity is portrayed. It will go the same way as depression where we slowly realized “cheer up buddy” is not a valid treatment.
