Appetite cues are muted, but one flavor loop isn’t

For what it's worth, satiety is definitely doing its job for me. Meals that used to vanish now stop around half a plate, and I’m maybe ten weeks into a GLP-1. The weird part is a late-evening craving for creamy tomato sauce, specifically the kind that used to mean vodka sauce and pasta. It’s not stomach hunger. It’s more like a sensory loop: I want the tang and the richness, even when I’m full. In the trials, appetite and reward seem to overlap but not perfectly, and this feels like that gap. I tried a smaller bowl with extra chicken, and the protein didn’t really mute the sauce urge. Is this a cue/habit thing for anyone else, or do certain flavors just cut through the noise? Not looking for rules, just curious what patterns people noticed.
