Losing weight and improving overall health are obviously the primary purpose of GLP-1, but I’d love to hear about the little unseen, unexpected upsides from taking GLP-1 that aren’t related to weight loss.

For me, it’s been the brain energy that’s left over because the food noise is gone. I have diagnosed binge eating disorder…and thinking about food is exhausting. Trying to battle the urge to eat something that sounds tasty when I’m not even hungry and I know it’ll contribute to my weight gain is EXHAUSTING. By the time I get home, I’m mentally wiped from work and trying to fight the noise. I remember when it wasn’t always like this.

I’m on week 2 and it’s been…silent. I haven’t eaten lunch since I started. I’m hungry, but it’s easily ignored. “Hey I should eat soon”. In the past - “here’s an advertisement for tacos. Shit. Tacos sound good. I’m not full…which means I could eat. But I shouldn’t because I’m not hungry. But tacos. Tacos. Tacos. I will wait until I’m hungry. Tacos. Tacos. Tacos.”

So now there’s more mental energy to do laundry and dishes and hang out with my kids. 😂
