A few of you have mentioned in previous posts about feeling flat, and the connection between that and comfort eating. I haven't felt 'right' since I came back from my holidays - combo of holiday blues, domestic chaos, work pressures etc - that horrible feeling of 'back to reality' and the reality being something that doesn't fill you with joy. I've been nibbling more, paying less attention to the quality of my food, walking less, generally just slumping around. Last night I basically forced myself to try and eat my feelings - managed 2 slices of pizza and a Cadbury's Twirl! As I'm sure most of you will understand, before Mounjaro that would have been a whole pizza and a multi-pack of Twirls. I'm really missing the comfort food - or not really comfort, more eating myself into numbness I suppose! I got up this morning with a 're-set' attitude - moved up to 5mg from 3.75mg, and intend to make sure I eat plenty of fruit and veg to flush my system a little.
I just feel like having a little cry, and feel very lonely - you know in that weird way you can, for absolutely no good reason? I have a lovely family around me and countless blessings, but sometimes you just can't see past yourself can you? That's when I'd normally binge, but the MJ is stopping me. I know logically that's a good thing, but it's all so complicated. So many issues beyond simple weight loss, and so much going on in the mind as well as the body.
