I've been lurking for quite a while but thought I should say hi! I finally started MJ last week on Wednesday. I have been fortunate to have responded immediately in terms of hunger suppression which is wonderful.
However the thing I am over the moon about is the silencing of my anxiety! I have had a really tough summer (aging parents, funerals) and have been spiraling in a way I never have before. I'd come back from visiting my parents having decided to go to the GP for something, anything which would get all of the noise in my head to calm down.
But before I did that, I decided to try MJ after having put on a few kilos the few weeks I was away. It was the trigger I needed. I've spent my entire life overweight or obese to some degree, I'm at a 33BMI at the moment and at a time when everything was feeling just too much, I couldn't face mediocre results again if there was a way to try to do it better. I'm 47, cholesterol is up, BP is creeping up. Thankfully not diabetic but blood sugars aren't exactly low, either!
Within an hour of taking the first does I felt very different, but definitely within hours I noticed my brain was just.. fine. And I wasn't stressing over anything. I didn't put the two together because I was marveling over the lack of appetite, but over the next two days I realised I wasn't getting irritated by anything, I wasn't doom spiraling over every little thing, or imagining the worst case scenario etc.
I am now officially terrified of getting off of this!!
Anyway thanks for listening to my tale. And thank you to everyone posting their stories and different facts they're learned. I've read and learned so much.
