INTRO Hello everyone I’m here to grow and learn with everyone

[Babyphased l]

Like the title says, I’m a newcomer, so it’s great to meet you all. I’m based in Texas, US, and my reason for landing here is that Reta made a big difference for me, which led me to tumble down this intriguing rabbit hole lol. I used to weigh 280lbs, and I managed to drop 80lbs on my own naturally. But then life threw some stuff my way, and I climbed back to 260, and this time cutting weight was way tougher, even sticking to the same diet I always used. That’s when I learned about GLP—well, reta specifically—but it’s been a massive shift. I had no idea how much I used to snack, how many hours a day I’d spend nibbling. I had no idea how intense food noise truly was. I had no idea about a lot of things, and that’s what brought me to this place. Looking forward to getting to know everyone and, in some way, even if it’s tiny, adding something to this wonderful community.

Food noise gave me trouble too, and what you describe sounds a lot like my own experience. From what I can tell after poking around briefly, there is a wealth of useful material on this site. My one regret is not coming across this site earlier.

I'm with you on this. It never clicked for me that being full was something I'd never experienced. After spending time on sema and tirz, overeating now leaves me feeling off, like my routines have shifted. During the stretches when I wasn't taking the medicine, the intense hunger was still there. Feeling "normal" is something I really enjoy.

Weight going up and down like a yo-yo truly takes a toll on the body; that's something I agree with!
