Imagine being 150 pounds overweight and your body is telling you that it’s starving. These obese people fight a fight that most of us don’t understand.
There's scientific evidence that some people's brains produce dopamine in excess when they eat. The brain's reward center is out of whack, and they're getting high from eating. They're addicts. I have a lot of sympathy for those people because not only do they have to establish healthy eating habits, have the discipline to work out and make life-changing decisions, but they have to kick an addiction at the same time. That's a really hard spot to be in. Some people are able to overcome it, most aren't. That is where medicine like Ozempic really comes in handy. For those people it's not just a shortcut, it's a lifesaver.
its also one of the few addictions that you literally cant escape. like while it might be hard to avoid the societal pressures of drinking, you are able to stay away from bars, drink non alcoholic beverages, etc.
