Does the medicine ever overpower the mind?

Diet/Health/Exercise

I've never been a big eater, it's just what I eat and drink are very dense like cookies and beer...

I am 5th shot, and on 5mg now. I can definitely tell I am not as hungry, but when I do eat I still feel the need to eat something like a giant cookie with lunch, or throw back some IPAs at night.

The first 2-3 weeks on the medicine I didn't drink anything, I was eating relatively okay and sleeping better. I lost like 6lbs (probably water weight I know). However, now I am back wanting to add a Kitchen Sink cookie from Panera to my sandwich even though it shows it has 850cals in it. And back up in weight.

I was hoping going on the 5mg would take me back to how I felt the first couple weeks, but all I have now is more heartburn.
