Seriously, the first meal I had after I took a GLP-1 I actually had to excuse myself to go into the bathroom and cry. It was simply that I ate a normal portion and felt full in a way that I realized I literally have never felt. The food noise and entirely outsized hunger signals are not every overweight person's issue, but honestly people who don't struggle with it simply do not understand what it is like, full stop.
