Been yoyo dieting for over ten years. Fatter than ever. BMI is 40. Size 20-22 and absolutely fucking miserable with it.
I hate myself. My self esteem is non existent. My marriage lacks intimacy because I can’t stand how I look and feel. I’m a terrible example to my kids. None of my clothes fit. The ones that do are cheap and nasty because I can’t afford to buy nice clothes that will probably be too small soon.
All I think about is my weight. Yet I cannot stop fucking eating. Chocolate mainly. All day. Every day. Constantly grazing on it. Binging too.
Oldest keeps asking if I have a baby in my tummy. I’m always the fattest person in the room. Fattest person in my extended family. I’ve even got a double chin now.
I have tried everything:
Slimming World
Weight Watchers
Slim Pod
Cambridge
Slim Fast
IF
Low carb
Calorie counting
Personal Trainer
Therapy
Not dieting
Brain over Binge
and various other things over the years I’ve probably forgotten about.
Had bloods taken to check for physiological reasons. Not on any medication. No answers there.
Nothing works. I can’t keep the weight off. I am an intelligent, successful woman in her mid-30s who loves cooking and healthy foods and yet cannot stop eating shit. I have a history of depression but other than being completely obsessed and miserable about my weight, my mood is fine.
I don’t know what to do any more. I can’t go on like this. I think I’m going to eat myself to death.
I did an e-consult this morning with the GP saying I was desperate for help. I hoped I’d get a same day appointment but it’s next week. What do I do? What do I say? I’m hoping they can give me injections or surgery because at this point, I’ve given up on being able to do it myself.
Has anyone been in a similar position and can advise please?

Ozempic I'm afraid.
It's like a switch is flipped.
You'll suddenly become Meh about food. It's wondrous

Can I ask, if you then decide to have a “treat” day or went on holiday etc would you then still enjoy the food as much as before?

Not always. Like I said I had one 3 years ago and never addressed my issues so I still over eat and have gained 20lbs back from my smallest weigh in.
I'm still addicted to chocolate and junk.
I throw up and get dizzy alot now because I can't tolerate it. But I still do it.

Well, those issue aren’t yours to address. It was the answer to my problems.
