@Mounjaropen Oh I'd love to know your Vinted username, your wardrobe sounds fab!
Yes, same, I do think it does more than it says. I haven't had any MJ for about a month, and I just don't feel quite like myself some days. For example, I eat even when I'm not hungry (e.g. breakfast first thing), and beyond the point of having had enough food. I just don't get the 'I'm full now' feeling the way I do when on MJ, I can just keep going with a pack of biscuits.
But equally, I can be a little irritable, or struggle to go to sleep. Don't get me wrong, I am generally very calm and with a well-regulated nervous system, but during this year on MJ, my mental health was completely untouchable. I'd also easily put my screens away at 9pm and read a book, be so zen, whereas now I can easily get sucked into something and be up til 2am.
What would we call it? General hormonal and mood regulating effect?
I genuinely did not eat that badly or vast amounts when I was big. Just way more UPFs like M&S ready meals, and frequent pastries/sweets, less fresh food. Also, my mental health was very hormonally driven during that era, around my period I could easily spend the whole day close to tears and snappy, catastrophising. That person's totally gone now, and I feel that not taking action earlier on that actually cost me a lot.
Like you, I think I'll keep taking it for life in some form. It feels like my secret weapon, I feel undeniable on it and extremely high performance. But does it have any long-term side effects if doing so, such as pancreas/gallbladder related risks?
Onto more fun stuff, any new finds from Bond St? Like everyone, I can't get enogh of the new Dior! The detail... Ah...
