that's too bad. I'm microdosing tirz -- 1/2 the "starter" dose they use to titrate you on, so essentially 1/4 of the therapeutic dose. Totally helped me reduce appetite driven snacking and eating. I still enjoy food, but now I leave half a beer left on the table. No problem. Makes you wonder what free will is like.

I am in a totally different setup than you though - 225 weight, goal to get down to 180 (my Army weight was 170.) I exercise a lot, and lost 30 pounds through diet two years ago. But it was the hardest thing I've done since Ranger school! So paintful to not eat enough. Gained it all back. I'm in month one of tirz and it is as easy as pie.

Yeah, the 18 months it took me to lose that first 100 pounds was about the most miserable I've ever been in my entire life. Constantly hungry, constantly thinking about food, exercising 3 hours a day, having to sit out of social events because more than half of them involve going to restaurants, etc.

It really opened my eyes to just how food centric society is.
