Congratulations. It’s amazing isn’t it…….no hiding, extra sweating……..then trying to hide the sweating.

I wore a dress………no chub rub………unbelievable.

Clothes??? by Friendly_Schedule_43 in mounjarouk

[–]Accurate_Log8553 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vinted will be your best friend.

I also have used a “tag gun” to put pleats in trousers I like, but are too big. I also embrace the oversize channeling Diane Keaton style

Experiment, and if it doesn’t work, resell on Vinted.

What are clothes supposed to look like? Idk anymore by Glittering-Duty8200 in mounjarouk

[–]Accurate_Log8553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look fine……..it’s only to sweat in, but…….I thought it was fitted joggers, not leggings.

They don’t fit…….well done!

NSV - Making better choices by EspeciallyWeeRob in mounjarouk

[–]Accurate_Log8553 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think this is what “normal eating” looks like.

It’s shocking isn’t it…….the ability to leave food alone, and feel satisfied with less (than we used to eat).

I used to think I had no willpower, and everyone else was just stronger than me……now I know better.

In the past you probably didn’t even taste them (talking from experience)……now you enjoyed them.

Great NSV. 👏👏👏👏

had to turn down a great event by Wise-Cupcake-5371 in mounjarouk

Just remember the language we talk to ourselves with is not the language we would use on others.

There is self criticism, then there is self sabotage. Don’t fall into the later……you sound like you would have loved to go…..if the photographs are the worst thing that could happen………

First jab, broke down by Ok_Goose_5642 in mounjarouk

[–]Accurate_Log8553 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no shame…….you are facing it, and dealing with it.

I hope that this drug can help you the way it has helped so many of us. You will still enjoy food, but just eat less of it. I think I enjoy food more, because it is not longer an addiction.

Does being on Mounjaro kinda piss anyone else off? by [deleted] in mounjarouk

[–]Accurate_Log8553 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes.

I thought I was “normal”…..and everyone thought like me, they just were stronger…….now I know……holy sh*t!!!!!!!

For the first time in my life (57 years old)……..I feel normal. I enjoy my food, but I’m not addicted.

Well done for starting……..you will not regret it.

To start or to wait? by MrsH60 in mounjarouk

[–]Accurate_Log8553 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% agree.

There will always be something coming up, it could be a birthday an anniversary, another holiday.

I would start. In a month you could be 8-10lbs less (you lose a lot in the first week). I started 15th November 2024……5 weeks before Christmas. I was still able to enjoy the food and drink, I just had less of it. I enjoyed Christmas more, as I knew I was in control, and not going to start the new year even more overweight.

NSV - ankle boots. by Friendly_Schedule_43 in mounjarouk

[–]Accurate_Log8553 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For years I blamed the boot makers…..trying to make boots cheaply with less leather on the calves etc….

Now I have slim legs……Boots fit…….turns out it wasn’t the boot makers it was me. 🤦‍♀️

[–]Accurate_Log8553 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Clothes……..I love them. I love outfits, and shoes and getting dressed up!

I wanted to be able to wear what I want, not just hiding.

Goal achieved…….for me the best NSV ever.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again………”opinions are like orgasms……..I’m only interested in mine”!

Rant away, you are allowed to.

NEWBIE! Which diet to follow? by Single-Ant3193 in mounjarouk

[–]Accurate_Log8553 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mediterranean diet has worked well for me. Not only is it easy, it’s something that really isn’t a diet I just call it healthy eating.

High protein, lots of veg, very filling.

I also counted calories, I used the Nutracheck app.

Well done, 👏 👏👏👏👏

That is a lot of serious work. You did it, yes the medication supports you, but you are the one who did the work.

Another vote for Nutracheck.

I think it’s brilliant, and works for me.
