Because hunger was never the whole story. GLP-1s are remarkably good at what they actually do - quieting the body's hunger signaling and food noise.
But eating in response to stress, boredom, loneliness or a hard day is not triggered by hunger; it is triggered by the feeling, and it works - briefly - which is why the pattern sticks. People on GLP-1s often describe this discovery in exactly these words: the appetite is gone, and they still find themselves in the kitchen at 10pm after a bad day.
That is not a medication failure and it is not a willpower failure. It is a different problem, with a different tool.
