Food noise vs. compulsive/boredom eating

[Nathanologist]

I have not yet begun to research glp-1 peptides… but being that I just finished my 3rd beer and second plate at a family dinner… that’s not food noise, I feel good, it tastes good, and I want it.

Does anyone with more experience on sema/tirza/reta care to share their experience with that sort of over eating/drinking?

Before tirz, I would not pass up an opportunity to eat like that. Since tirz, I just don’t want any more food once I feel satisfied. I know I’ve hit that point once the food no longer “speaks to me.” Also, alcohol generally doesn’t speak to me at all. I don’t enjoy the way it tastes or makes me feel the way I used to - and boy did I used to.

For me “food noise,” was different. I used to just think about my next meal or snack almost constantly. And it was even more in the front of my mind. At work, I’d think about chips and cookies the minute the clock struck 8pm.

I don't use the term "food noise" because I'm bored of listening to every redditor panic-shriek "FOOD NOISE" when they feel even slightly hungry. But I DO know that on tirz, I have the option to eat a high-protein, low calorie day with roasted vegetables and some meat. I can still trigger myself into cravings if I sit and think about all the delicious high-calorie food I sure would like to be eating, but if I just DON'T do that, I'm fine. It doesn't intrude past my willingness to have it in my head.

Easier to say/feel/think "no" or "another time" (including when grocery shopping) and easier to eat smaller portions. Half a sandwich can feel as filling as two.
