Evening/morning, Apologies im posting here for traffic

Ive just ordered mounjaro, currently waiting for my photos to be "accepted"

Always said I wouldn't, that I'd just be able to lock in and be fine.. 'i've done it before' but its been a couple of years and im just miserable.

Tried the first website that came up and I wasn't considered at all, so the next site I added an extra 7lbs. Which is most probably true, even at kindest! Not weighed myself since I outgrew a size 12 which I swore to myself I never would again.

I've just heard so many success stories from using it, I do feel its gonna be a quick fix!? Ive flicked through threads and articles and had friends experiences but id like to hopefully chat with someone now about it.

Im currently-
50% just get it done its stupid to wait til you get even fatter
50% dont take it, not worth it, just try harder to cut back/move more,
(even though you've already tried that and its just not working currently, mainly because I feel too fat and lumpy to move)

Just need some unbiased level heads please MNers!

Are you actually obese?

Thank you both, I really needed you right now!

I didnt want to put it in WLS because I thought it may be bias in favour of them maybe. I just needed someone to chat to through this totally wacky thing I feel like I've just done 😂 I am comfortable between 10-11st, 10 being my ideal and 11 being when id usually start sorting myself out. Im probably coming towards 13st now. I am quite tall which does help, others doesn't seem to notice my weight gains/loses but i sure do lol

Thanks again for chatting with me about it

How much do you have to lose op. Never had WLI but totally don’t judge. Have you listened to the Mel Robins podcast about it? It completely changed how I felt about WLI and it’s such a positive listen.

That aside, from reading your op I’d say: don’t be so hard on yourself. Treat yourself like you’d treat your best friend, kindly and with love.

Good luck I hope it works a treat for you.

You should ask for this to be moved to the weight loss injections section- AIBU can sometimes be a bit snippy about WLI.

I’ve been on it since May last year (with a long break last year when a friend of mine died and I gave up looking after myself). It’s not a quick fix- it helps you restrict calories, but the first injection works very differently on everyone and you might not lose anything for a while. If/when you come off it you have to maintain the same habits to keep the weight off, same as any diet.

I’d really recommend the WLI forums on here, lots more specific information and support.
