New habits on MJ

[BigLooser]

Had some disappointing news today so currently having a glass of red and watching Black Doves. I know myself and in the past, I would be making myself feel better by eating crisps or chocolate. And it would be helping at the time.

Now - I just have no desire for that. The wine is welcome but I just don't fancy my usual guilty comfort foods. Instead, I am sampling the Christmas gift of a set of perfume samples. A bit of feel-good distraction. And no appetite even for crisps. This is not willpower, this is not even trying to "be good" and not ruining my new slimmer shape. I genuinely have no appetite for it. And even alcohol has become a very rare occasion, completely naturally.

Is it MJ or is it good habits which I have grown from being on it for the past 6 months? They do say that habits can get ingrained, both bad and good.

Anyway, this is such a subtle yet noticeable shift from the way I used to be. I do wonder if it stays once I stop MJ but the whole experience has honestly been life-changing.

MJ. I came off it over Christmas and put on 5lbs in 3 weeks. All gone now MJ is back

I've just completed 1 week. Already I've noticed a discernible shift in choices I'm making but without it being hard.
I realises at my local shop earlier I'd bought what I needed but didn't even contemplate buying chocolate or sweets which I ALWAYS did. It just didn't come into my thinking.

I've just stopped it after 6 months of a complete switch around in my eating on mounjaro, was a miracle to me.

Compulsive eater to having to force myself to eat.

I'm already slipping back into old habits it was 100% the MJ for me and I really hoped that my mind had changed from half a year of not doing it.

But nope :(

It has to be MJ if you're still on it. The "good habits" test will come when you're off MJ and it's completely out of your system, that's when you know what you're capable of on your own.

Assuming that’s because you ate/drank too much?
I came off MJ at the end of September and have continued with the good habits I implemented while taking it. I gained 2lbs over Christmas (too much wine!) but have since lost them again.

It's the MJ I'm afraid. That's one of the ways it works

I always say that a good indicator of what may happen in the future is to look at what happened in the past. And the past has shown me that I will always regain weight

I don't need to learn good habits. I don't need to learn about nutrition. I know it all inside and out. Have had 30 years of it

So would I like to think I can maintain now that I've lost over 5 stone and am currently 9 and a half stone? Yep. Do I think I will? No, not if I'm being honest.

So I need to find the way through managing this

As you’re on it, it is obviously the drug, there is no will power needed here. It is you when you have been off it 30 days and it’s totally out your system,

personally I intend to stay on, I am old enough to know myself, and I know I will slip back to old habits, maybe not in a month, or even 6, but I will, and I will regain.

the craving and desire to eat and drink will return when the medicine is no longer in my system and no habit I can form will keep me from giving into that noise.

so for me, I will stay on a low dose and up that dose if I feel it’s not enough,
