Is it a snacking problem? Or is it a boredom problem? (Could even be a dehydration problem)

For me it was boredom and I felt good doing it. Semaglutide has changed that for me. Not only has it made it feel impossible to overeat, but it has enabled me to be able to avoid unnecessary eating in the first place. I still have the habit of opening the fridge and cabinets to see what's there, but I feel a bit disgusted with the thought of eating unnecessarily. It wasn't overnight. When I was put on the dose that I'm on now, I still tried to overeat out of habit but I ended up paying for it. I felt nauseous and was producing sour burps. Now I know when I've had enough. I'm saving a bunch of money on food because I eat normal portions now instead of obscene amounts and my blood sugar isn't HFCS anymore 😆

My hope is semaglutide can be readily accessible to anyone who is obese because I feel a cure has been found. Hell, there's evidence that it may be helpful for other non-food related addictions too!
