My eating habits are bad, certain foods I can't stop with eating a little, I have to eat a lot. Prime examples would be pizza, ice cream, and pistachios.
Also as I have already noted, I have the same sense of curiousity with food that I do with women. If I see something interesting on a menu, and haven't tried it, I order it. Yesterday I went to an Indian restaurant and saw Chicken Malabar on the menu. I never tried it before so I ordered it. It was pretty good! I have the leftovers for dinner tonight. After that I went to an ice cream parlor next door and was looking in the case. I couldn't decide between Cookies and Cream Flavor or Mint Chocolate Chip. And usually between these two I would choose Mint Chocolate Chip, but looking at the Cookies and Cream, I saw big chunks of Oreo cookies swirling through the Sweet Cream Ice Cream. So I decided to get both and honestly it's still a toss up as to which one I liked more.
And they say curiousity killed the cat, but it's killing me and making me fat!!!!!! I am going to die of a heart attack. I realize we all have to die of something eventually, but should be go out enjoying ourselves or denying ourselves?
To each is own but your motive are the motive of everyone i talk too, even the younger people at my job who have this same mentality enjoy, eat.
There is nothing wrong with this, and you are aware of the potential dangers of obesity. But for me when i look at myself in the mirror i am ashamed, its so easy to make excuses, because everyone as them, at your age, past your prime, enjoy life.
I have a women at my job that just got diagnosed with breast cancer, she is 58, a smoker, recently gained a lot of weight, and keeps telling me to enjoy life. She as terrible arthritis, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and the other night when we were on break she told me i think i am dying.
I simply told her now you see why I never gave into your eat whatever you want junk, I told you many times to lose the weight she keeps going on and on about weight watchers and how she lost 35 pounds like 20 years ago.
In other word she made her choices in life and now is wondering why all of this is happening to her. That is the thing at my job i gained weight and people who are like her or obese put it in my face with a smile and are proud, hey where's your superhero body, you used to be well build but now its taken a turn for the worse.
So i chose to do what i have to do to lose the weight, at 5am getting on my rowing machine, hitting the weights (my off days) i do boxing at night 30 minutes cardio and have another hiit 20 minutes boxing. For me there is no turning back and all those people putting me down do not realize that its more motivation for me.
Honestly in your case i would avoid using semaglutide again, because this is more like a band aid, then a permanent solution, I will admit that on semaglutide your appetite is near zero and when you eat its all good food, but you can still eat junk and lose weight if you eat below your calories. This has been proven that weight loss in calorie in calorie out
