I started MJ Sept lost 2.5 stone feeling great very active eating well no more food binges, had about 10 pounds to go to get to ‘healthy’ BMI but back into size clothes happy with and didn’t want to lose too much on aging face as late 50’s.
I stopped taking 1 month ago due to an issue that I know now is not down to mj . Was doing really well felt ecstatic and finally free.
This week has been horrendous food hunger is back with vengeance and binging restarted. Know going to gain weight again if keep this up.
Think I fooled myself into thinking the changes I made would be enough I find if I exercise I don't overeat but can’t necessarily exercise daily due to work time etc .
after 4 weeks figure mj out of my system
now so thinking only option is to go back onto it. I feel down but unsure of that due to rebinging and guilt cycle .
head felt clear on mj and skin great
any tips what to do I did just go off from 5 to nothing so thinking restart at 2.5 go back up to 5mg eventually, lose extra 10 lbs then maybe just wean down and get to 1.25 or 2.5 every 2 weeks ?
i used to have so much more willpower years ago I almost feel like hunger worse than ever. Admittedly not been drinking much water over last few days either so need to do that
sorry to go on and know others probably have put posts like this just feel so fed up and unsure what to do.

There are lots of MJ support threads out there. I've only just started, April Starters.
I think maintenance is a big worry for us all. I'm barely eating, what's going to happen when I stop. My stomach has shrunk for sure but .....
I guess it's about healthy habits, exercise, etc.
But hey, 2.5 stone loss is brilliant. Weill done you.

Sorry to hear you are now struggling.

I am definitely a lifer and never want to go back to battling my own body and brain over food. I actually knew that I wanted this forever within weeks of starting but at the time nobody thought it was possible so it was really hard to think of going back! Now, however, we have lovely maintenance friendly pharmacies who will support long term use! 🎉

With regard to exercise, can you find a way to build it into your day around work? I know it’s not easy and was the reason I stopped exercise when I was full time teaching and raising 3 children on my own! If you do a job like I used to, I completely get it’s not possible but otherwise could you do a half hr session early morning? Or get a bike/treadmill for home? Start running mornings or evenings?

Other than that, don’t feel down about it! For many of us, it’s the reality of metabolic disorders.

Find a provider who’ll allow you to start again on 2.5. Build up to the 5 and just see what happens. I find that having a ‘plan’ just doesn’t really work as there’s no predicting how my body will respond 🤦🏼‍♀️

Good luck with it and don’t get down. You’ve lost weight and changed your life for the better!!
