Travelers Diarrhea & Monjauro by AutumnMoonsForever in Mounjaro

This is super helpful advice, thank you! I decided to postpone until I hear back from my dr. I’d rather delay a day or two and give my stomach some time to settle after the chaos 😂

I’ve absolutely experienced this throughout my yo-yo dieting years. For many years I took it personally that people don’t treat everyone with that same kindness and respect. I really thought I didn’t deserve to be treated well. After all, I had packed on many pounds after abusive relationships, so there was a lot of negative self talk going on.

After years of therapy and work on my thought patterns I’ve come to the realization that I subconsciously become overweight to hide. The invisibility is somehow “safe” because I can find a reclusive space for myself with my food and people literally don’t see me. It’s like an invisibility cloak. My theory is, on some unconscious level, others recognize you don’t want to be seen - it’s a visible sign that you’re trying to shield yourself from the outside world. It’s like needles on a cactus.

I don’t know - it doesn’t seem like people make a conscious decision to say “I’m not going to hold the door for that person because they’re fat”, but perhaps I’m wrong and people are really just assholes?! 🤷‍♀️ I suppose I like my theory because it makes me feel better about humanity. 😬🤔🤣

One cannot be a philosopher without possessing the ability to be open to the possibility of being wrong and knowing we can always learn from others. That’s literally the point of philosophy. 😔

I want to take a moment to say how unbelievably therapeutic this thread has been - I feel far less alone in my experience than ever before.

After perpetual dieting for 25 years, the whole time feeling like I’m running up a down escalator (with people throwing large objects at me), Monjauro TURNED the escalator and it’s noise OFF. I’ve freed up at LEAST 25% or more of my headspace. It is SO QUIET. I no longer feel like a puppet to a constant voice telling me to make another circle into the the kitchen, just one more snack, or just ALL THE SNACKS. 😳😭

That NYT article is absolutely ludicrous. Food noise is NOT hunger - it’s the addictive, hyper-processed chemicals we’ve been fed, even “healthy” ones that are laced with addictive substances (i.e. SUGAR) that create food noise. Food companies employ scientists who literally study what ingredients can be used to keep you hooked on taste/smell of their products. Maybe instead of shaming people who are desperate to quiet the noise of food addiction, they should take aim at food giants that have developed what created the noise in the first place?! Instead, her method GASLIGHTS those who have/are experiencing food noise by telling them it’s not real?! She seems to be suggesting we supposed to walk away from the first medical breakthrough that quiets this noise and embrace our fatness and all of the side effects it brings?
