Me too. I've done it all throughout 65 years of struggle: Prayer, therapy, bariatric surgery (which had to be reversed years later due to scar tissue buildup), Weight Watchers, more therapy, Atkins, NutriFast, more therapy, Overeaters Anonymous, more prayer, Noom, fasting, all accompanied by self-judgment, shame, and failure. Now, after 7 weeks on Ozempic, my life has been transformed. I am free from the voice of compulsion for the first time since middle school. I would continue taking this medication even if I weren't losing weight, just to experience this freedom. I feel like I'm beginning my life anew. I hope your experience will be as joyful as mine has been so far.
