We're probably pretty fortunate that humans have at least some degree of self control over when we stop eating. - eviltoast

Like, I just was thinking about how lots of pet species will just eat as much food as you give them to the point of making themselves sick, and keeping them at a healthy weight requires not giving them access to too much food. Obviously some humans have problems with this, but imagine how bad things would be if everyone were basically psychologically incapable of not eating food when we had access to it even when we’d had enough, given our dramatically higher access to food due to agriculture.

    I hate to say this but this is part of why Wegovy is working for me. It gave me the sense of being hungry, not hungry, and full. Also no sugar crashes when I go too long without eating.

    I’m not pimping for semaglutide but some of us clearly don’t have this important switch and I’m happy to get it however I can.
