Has anyone else become more critical of others' eating on Mounjaro?

Iv been on MJ a while and Im still on it now maintaining. I haven't always been big, I gained weight as I had some health issues that are now sorted.

This will sound hypocritical but I find other people so greedy now, constantly talking about food even though they have just eaten or ordering massive portions when out.
Always trying to arrange to go out for food and every outing has to have food included.

Does anyone else feel like this?

I think there's a really big difference between 'noticing' and 'judging'. When you are on a weight loss journey you are naturally more likely to notice other people's eating because your own has changed so much. Noticing is involuntary. Judging is a choice.

Doesn’t just sound hypocritical @appn8it is hypocritical.

Of course, I bet you never judge anything.

That’s what you took from my post?

What is greed, though? What does ‘being greedy’ mean?

CoastalCalm · 17/04/2026 09:06

Wait til the food noise returns and people like you will be judging you

At least Iv done something about my greed 😘

You've only suppressed it; your 'greed' is still there. Once you stop MJ, look out.

'Ordering massive portions when out'?!

Food only come in sharing plates, starters, and main course sized plates. If you're saying ordering a main is greedy then yeah you need to sort it out.

If someone wants two of everything then presumably they're starving and very rich.

I'm in recovery from anorexia and I would never be judgemental over the amount others choose to eat or order.

Exactly, I dont say it out loud and anyone on here acting like they dont judge people are just hypocrites as we all judge people for different reasons. I'm just judging the greedy gits with plates piled high.

Fair enough to judge a greedy git who makes 3 trips to the buffet with plate piled high every time. I’d judge them too, partly because I’d never eat that much even pre MJ and it’s not normal for any human to eat that much and a lot of it will likely go to waste, which is a bigger reason I’d judge them. But you didn’t say that. You said your friends and family’s large portions. If you’re on WLIs then you were probably eating the same size portion before you went on them so you’re basically judging yourself

Of course I judge my own past behaviour.
But if you read my posts I put on weight due to medication I had to take.
