Running Mounjaro and eating without any real fixation on it.
Never was an emotional eater, my pattern's always been simple: eat once hunger shows up, quit once my body signals it's had enough.
What's always tripped me up is the delay, my body's cue that I'm full lags way behind actual intake.
This medication hasn't changed my menu at all, I still reach for whatever I like, dialed carbs back a touch, and let the drug's hunger-blunting effect step in earlier during each sitting.
End result, portions naturally shrink and the number on the scale keeps dropping.
Still go out regularly with my spouse, portions are just smaller now.
Having tried plenty of approaches before, I know a rigid restrictive plan that bans my favorite foods never lasts for me.
Relying purely on that appetite effect has gotten me 33.75 pounds lighter since late May, no sense of deprivation involved anywhere.
