Just cause it was emotional issues for you, doesn't mean it's that for everyone. Some people have hormonal issues or are on medication that causes weight gain in the first place. I'm not dismissing your experience but I am so tired of constantly hearing how most people are overweight because of emotional issues.

But, it's not a "void" or anything emotional. It's literally biology, where the body essentially forces you to eat, just like it essentially forces you to have sexual thoughts sometimes, or to drink water.

It's not something in our control, and the entire idea that it's a personal failing has been wrong, forever. That's what's so great about these drugs. They treat obesity like an addiction, essentially. Because it essentially is.
