Starting Mounjaro was honestly one of the best choices I've ever made for myself, and I can't stop raving about it!
For the first time in over two decades (I'm 40 now), I feel like I have a healthy and happy relationship with food. It isn't the enemy anymore.
I've stretched my dose out to 2.5mg every nine or ten days, and so far it's working great. I've noticed the cravings returning a little, but I've spent the last six months developing habits to help me cope. Now when I'm feeling triggered and have the urge to use food for comfort, I'll get up and take the dogs for a walk instead. Or I'll play some video games, or blast music and dance around. Something that gets me moving and keeps my hands busy. For me, the danger zone is in front of the TV at night because that's when I want to mindlessly snack on stuff. Now I find an alternative, and the cool thing is, when I do snack, I stop when I'm satisfied, not when I'm painfully full!
