Just like addiction to drugs, alcohol, or any other substance, the struggle with overeating is a battle waged within the mind. Skinny people aren't endowed with more willpower; they simply don't have the same neurological wiring that keeps us fixated on food even when we're not hungry.
Enter the FDA-approved drugs like Mounjaro, Wegovy, Semaglutide, and Zepbound—they're not just medications; they're lifelines. They work on a biological level, recalibrating the hunger mechanism in the brain so that eating becomes a simple act of nourishment, not an all-consuming obsession.
Imagine having a taste for cake and being able to enjoy just a bite or half a cupcake without feeling the overwhelming urge to devour the whole thing. It's a game-changer—a life-changing relief that reminds us it's not our fault, and we don't have to carry the burden of shame and self-blame.
This journal is our journey—a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of science to heal. Whether we're embarking on this journey with FDA-approved medications or through lifestyle changes and exercise, every step forward is a victory.
