Swapping addictions

I love being on Wegovy - like many people say, it was a game-changer for me and my addiction to food. But now hearing about the Nader sister talking about her addiction to the GLP-1 medications, I'm starting to become anxious that maybe I just swapped one addiction for another. I haven't been off of it since I started, so maybe this is pre-mature anxiety, but I have to say that her recent comments have really got me thinking!!!!! Anyone else?????

Wow this is an interesting perspective. When I was in the peak of my calorie counting I would definitely classified that as an addiction. Now, I recently started Wegovy and I could see how it's a slippery slope. Anything with weight loss has the potential to be addictive because it's so validating to see the number going down. I guess we all just have to keep ourselves in check.

I hate to say I get it. As someone who struggled with severe food noise, the fear of re-gaining that is worth staying on meds longterm. I don’t know if that qualifies as “addiction” though.
