A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia

Recovering fat guy here. Was 335 last year, down to 188 now. This is exactly it. I don't have that feeling at all. When I eat the only thing that tells me to stop is when I'm physically incapable of eating any more. Realizing that some people have that switch was a big part of what helped me figure out what I needed to do to lose weight. I have to count the calories of every single thing I eat and make sure it doesn't add up to more than I need in energy for the day. If I don't, I'll end up right back where I started.
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.
