@NippyNinjaCrab it’s you who has me using my Scottish words again, even in real life. When I post I tell myself Nippy will know what you mean. In fact I’ll be in Scotland soon and I said something yesterday that had one of my grandchildren baffled and my son said to him, don’t worry, it’s just nana speaking her language to you 🤣.
@mabel hi there, bampot mean being a big head, conceited, arrogant, full of yourself. It can also be shortened to “bam” as in, oh see her, she’s a right wee bam. Or, awa wie yeh, yeh bliddy bam. And if you’re granny for eg was really not impressed with something you’d said or done she’d add either “big” or “wee” in front of “bam” just to let you know how she was really feeling. And what was worse depended on the occasion as the words were interchangeable but you never needed any explanation cos you just always knew how it was being used on the day. 😆
Going back to what I said in my previous post.
I said recently, perhaps about a month ago, that I’ve eaten very well for years and I’m sure if anyone is interested in what I said that a username search would bring up the post. In brief I haven’t really had many changes to make with regards to my meals because Ive aimed to get optimum nutrition out of anything I ate for a long time. But there were other things going on - I just ate too much. But not at the table. I’d have my meals then I’d eat another very healthy one perhaps watching tv on my own. Another thing I did would be to get up and eat if was awake in the night for a few hours, sometimes because my son was unsettled, or other times because my sleep pattern was so screwed up. And again, it would never be UPF for example.
The biggest part of my being on Mounjaro has been working on who I am and why I got to this stage and the knock on effect of that has helped me make huge changes in my day to day life as well as look at and start working my way through some very painful things.
Hunger - I’m very confused by what people are supposed to experience with regards to hunger, to what extent are people hungry and suffice to say - why are so many people on the threads even here at MN saying for eg - I had to remind myself to eat before I went to bed because I just hadn’t thought of food during the day I was feeling so full. Them some will say, I had so much suppression today I had to force myself to eat because I know it’s good for me.
So yes, I’m confused about Mounjaro. Do I want to be a user who can forget to eat all day because they feel so full? Absolutely no. I want to lose weight and be as healthy as I can whilst doing so. But I have to say that the level of hunger that I’ve felt for months has surprised me. But at the same time I’m so happy I lived it and not been defeated by it. And yes, the Mounjaro will have helped with that but when I’m no longer on Mounjaro/am at my goal, the extra 500 calories a day I’ll be able to use will help with not being on Mounjaro.
Im not very good at writing, nothing I say will ever be well composed, everything just comes out of my head at the same time, but I will always say exactly what is in my heart and my head.
Last but not least,
@MabelSpan you mentioned your very flat emotions. I’m sorry about that. It’s a horrible feeling and I hope things change for you soon.
Coincidentally this last 10 days or so I’ve not felt great emotionally to the extent I spoke to one of my girls about it on Saturday. Not that I could explain how I was feeling even though I have had periods of poor mental health in the past. I knew it wasn’t that I had anything going on in life that was causing it so we put it down to me going up to 10 on Mounjaro. I’m going to give it another couple of weeks and if it doesn’t clear I’ll go back down again.
