Mounjaro users - what's your attitude to food at Christmas?

[MounjaroUser]

If you're still using the injections then, do you plan to use it over Christmas and accept you can't have very much, or are you going to have a week off?

I'm going to keep on it. There will be other Christmases!

I plan to enjoy everything that I usually enjoy but in small quantities.

Haven't thought about it yet.......now thinking I can buy a smaller joint, and will brussels sprouts be too risky 💨

Isn't the point not to eat too much? Where did we absorb the idea that we must consume to excess at Christmas?

I'll probably just have smaller amounts of a few treats.

Taking MJ because of recent diabetes diagnosis, so while the weight loss is necessary and welcome, the bigger focus is on keeping sugar under control and I have a feeling my usual 'caution to the wind' approach to Xmas chocolates and desserts won't fly this year.

I'll continue taking it as usual and just have very small amounts of whatever I feel like eating. At the moment the idea of
Christmas food is genuinely deeply unappealing.

It's never just Christmas Day/week, usually the whole Christmas season is an excuse to overeat for me. I want to get totally away from that and just concentrate on eating what's good for me and in small amounts so that I can continue to lose weight.

I’ll most likely still be on it, although hopefully very very very close to goal. I plan to stick with it and enjoy Christmas in a reasonable way - I don’t want to feel uncomfortably full (as I usually do); overindulge on all the foods and drinks, spend days on end in a food coma and a haze unsure what day it is. I’ll probably make healthier options, like skip alllllll the cheese and chocolates, but make a really nice roast with all the winter veg.

I celt so much better on it last Christmas as I enjoyed all of the food throughout the whole festive period, but in moderation. As I felt satisfied I never felt as though I was missing out. I didn't have the usual sluggish, bloated, overeaten feeling. Oh, and the usual tins of chocolates lasted months rather than days! I still lost weight and felt more confident in dresses for Christmas parties.

I'm hoping to be like Tailfeather, above. Im looking forward to eating all the usual things I enjoy, but in smaller quantities and not feeling stuffed.

It will be lovely to enjoy a chocolate without obsessing over the fact there are more in the house and dealing with the 'give me chocolate noooowwwww' brain noise.

We are going to family this year. So no planning or cooking for me.

I'm looking forward to everything else about Christmas- not the focus on food.

We have a big work Christmas lunch event but the portions are so tiny if I skip the bread I will easily be able to eat it.

Totally agree with this. I'm looking forward to enjoying a small treat and for it to be only that: a small treat without the need for more.

I plan to carry on as normal - the odd treat that I have already may just be more of a Christmas treat that's all, portions smaller as usual etc.

This is how I want to be without Mounjaro when the time comes too.
