To chime on this topic as one that's also quite personally relevant to me, I was obese as a youth. I got extremely into physical culture and healthy eating and pushed myself to become an elite athlete so that I would have another positive feedback mechanism for my diet and exercise habits besides just looking good. This worked quite well, and for years I enjoyed going to the gym 5 days a week and eating a strictly regimented diet because in addition to looking phenomenal I was chasing records and tracking clear metrics that I could derive satisfaction from on a weekly basis. This part of my life ended in December 2020 when I was t-boned by a drunk driver going 130Mph. I'm no longer able to engage in intense exercise the way I once was, and the combination of my physical limitations and emotional issues (in addition to losing my life-long hobby and being in constant pain, my son had birth complications in 2022 and required brain surgery, and is now heavily special needs) pushed me towards alcoholism and emotional eating. I gained a _lot_ of weight, and my previous strategies no longer provided me with the guardrails and motivation to deal with the problem. I've always had an issue with insatiable appetite my entire life, and while I was able to deal with it via a militantly regimented lifestyle and mindset change, I recognize that solution is itself incredibly challenging to implement (if it's even possible in an individual's case). Thankfully Monjourno was able to help me address the problem, and I look forward to GLP medications becoming more widely available as I do think there are a lot of people who suffer from appetite dysregulation due to genetics and emotional trauma who shouldn't have to wage an epic battle with their body to feel normal.
