Yes. You have to take it for the rest of your life, pretty common with drugs to treat chronic illnesses.

  > chronic illnesses Is the chronic illness here a very high appetite and being hungry all the time? What exactly accounts for some people overeating and others not? (Genuine question, I'm trying to learn more about this area.)

    Yes to both. Also, this might vary, but hunger used to hurt a lot to me. The thing that helped was going on a 5 day fast (prepared, with a doctor approbation) and especially going through the pain on the 2nd day, which hurt more than when I broke my ankle, probably the worst pain I remember. Nowadays, being hungry doesn't hurt as much, so I can easily let myself go hungry,and I'm at a healthy BMI.

    The chronic illness is obesity. GLP-1 drugs are being used to treat obesity.
