Tell me you’re on Mounjaro without telling me you are (lighthearted)

[Swalwey]

• You suddenly drink gallons of herbal tea
• Your weekly shop is £100 less than it used to be due to not wanting alcohol, snacks etc
• All your clothes are either way too big or slightly too small, as you are buying in anticipation of losing more weight (which you do)
• You have so much energy and focus that you are tackling every project and dyi job that has accumulated over the years. You are hanging curtains, restoring furniture, organising drawers, and knitting 4 blankets in a row
• You no longer have insomnia
• You now look at pasta, bread, rice and couscous with great suspicion and a little fear
• You are considering a beach holiday next summer for the first time in years
• Having studiously avoided scales for a decade, you now weigh yourself twice a day, just for fun

What are yours?

My winter coat suddenly can be zipped up

Saving money on not buying snacks and take aways.. spending that money on heating bills.. bloody freezing!!

Being on first name basis with the Evri delivery driver following many many Vinted purchases to replace my wardrobe.

I drink all the wine and eat all the chocolate. Eat beige carbs like there is no tomorrow! Not sure it’s working for me!!

Stick thin legs and no arse, for the first time in my life (well the legs anyway, I’ve never had an arse).

Every time I pass the full length mirror in my house I look at myself and smile.

Jaw line.
I've got one!

My drivers seat is no longer on the lowest setting!

Bum and boobs feel like an old beany baby, missing some of their beans!

Needing a cardigan to add an extra layer of warmth

Wedding ring is too big.

Iv got really eggy burps and my jeans are getting so baggy

I could only manage two pieces of chocolate orange!

I'm at the stage now where I've tried so hard to lose and still gaining, that I feel I might as well give up until I'm at the size I qualify for the injections. Which is a bit crazy I guess. I'm tired of battling against my appetite all the time.

Oops probs wrong thread 😅

Honestly you do save so much money not snacking, you can likely afford to pay for them.

You finally understand the concept of being “too busy to eat”

Everyone at work is eyeing me suspiciously, some complimenting me on my weight loss, all clearly dying to ask if I’m on injections. I say nothing and wish they wouldn’t notice.

Yep, and I can have a nice warm sweater underneath too🥳

People keep staring at my legs - I think they look smaller (although this definitely isn't a brag, I'm still very fat!)

I lie in bed and constantly run my hands over my flat abdomen. I’ve missed my hip bones!

If I’m in my dressing gown, I’m often to be found holding it open and admiring my naked self in full length mirrors. I have avoided looking at my body for 2 years.

Kate Moss was so right when she said ‘nothing tastes as good as skinny feels’.

I eat my food from a baby’s bowl

I can cross my legs

I don't fear having to get on an aeroplane

My towel wraps round me finally

I am loving these and recognise myself in so many of them!

After 7 years in a sex less marriage, with a husband with early onset dementia from alcohol abuse... I have a lover... I had the confidence to believe it's not over for me...
