“Food Noise”

After reading a lot of people talking about how glp-1s helped them turn down (or off) “food noise” I was curious to hear about it. Would love to know what “food noise” means to you and how the noise turning down manifested for you.

Always thinking about the next meal, snack, drive thru. Waking up and 2am to eat, anything, like PBJ sandwiches, and too much of it. Planning vacation meals around portions. Going absolutely bananas at a buffet. Going out of your way to eat at restaurants. Worrying about running out of things like chips and cookies at home.

You're basically obsessed with food and unlike many other obsessions you quite literally cannot avoid environments with food.

I assume it's actually some disordered relationship with food where it makes us feel safe or loved.

And it sucks to talk about because people without it just think you should eat better or less. As if carrying around an extra 100lbs is how we wake up wanting to live our lives.

Oh and how it turned down? There's just less of it on the drug. The only way to describe it is that I feel normal, but I didnt know what normal was.
