I respect TinaHashiRN perspective but I think this oversimplifies things a bit. Re: Food funeral grief mourning — the effect size varies considerably by population.

I am not saying TinaHashiRN wrong entirely — just that the picture is more nuanced than a blanket statement. The SURMOUNT data specifically shows baseline BMI-dependent responses.

Reading this thread on Food funeral grief hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 273 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.

9 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 48 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.

If you are on the fence about Food funeral grief — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
