I agree with all of these scientific answers, but I’ll also add a personal anecdote.

I’ve been overweight my entire life. I never knew what “normal” people must feel like until I took Ozempic. With it, I eat a little, feel satisfied, and go about my life. Without it there is a part of my brain that always craves food. Even when I’m full!

It’s not like real hunger. It’s just an underlying feeling of dissatisfaction and unease. And it’s always there. I don’t know why I’m wired that way. But now that I’ve found something that makes me feel normal, it’s such a relief.
