If it's "completely self control" as you put it, why do appetite suppressants work? That suggests that hunger is at least a factor, no?

- anon291 1y agoBecause appetite suppressants remove the 'self' from the equation. They literally make it so the 'self' (whatever that is) is not in control. But that being said, if you take an appetite suppressant of your own accord (rather than doctor's orders), then you are fine. That's meta-self-control. For example, I know I am uncontrollable around chips. So... I stopped buying them and literally leave the room once I've had just a few. I cannot be around them. I know that and control myself. A lot of the regain of weight after a diet is due to people starting diets due to doctor's orders and perceiving it as an intervention rather than as a 'rebirth' in a sense. I know there's a meme about vegans, but I don't blame them honestly. If you've ever been food addicted, finally getting it in control feels like a pseudo-religious experience.
