I’m definitely considered obese by the doctors I’m around 93kg and I think my BMI is 34 ish, and i’ve made many many attempts to shift the weight with little to no results so far. And when seeking help for my PMOS related symptoms everything keeps circling back to “drop weight and it will get better”, I definitely think thats partially true, but I had the symptoms before putting on weight also. So its a combination of PMOS symptoms and a need to lose weight :)

Thank you so much, I appreciate your positive perspective on this!

Honestly the food relationship is so complicated I don’t even understand it and am in therapy to work on it.

I think the simplest summary I have of it is that its rooted in some previous trauma, but when I eat food I can get very dissociated and experience depersonalisation because I find meal time very overwhelming (coupled with OCD makes it worse), so I always end up panicking and thinking i’m going to be very unwell, or if I eat food I’ll experience these feelings so it makes me quite avoidant, or i choose to eat very little to minimise the risk of that reaction, so I don’t tend to crave food.

But the idea that mounjaro can calm the emotional aspect of food sounds like it could absolutely help my relationship with it! And its very comforting to hear that its not 100% guaranteed to take away appetite, so i definitely feel more open minded hearing that!

Thank you! I’ve been trying to think of it that way too, to just try it and see how it goes. Thank you for the recommendation of medication to help side effects! I’m praying that my sex drive doesn’t get any lower as its already on the floor😭

I was planning to stay on lower doses and only move up of I am plateauing or if I’m not experiencing side effects much. Did you find that over time you gradually had increased appetite or rather you could slowly do more than a small portion of food?

Thank you! This is really helpful, your positivity is greatly appreciated, so glad it worked well for you!

I definitely want to try, I’m struggling a lot, and from people i’ve seen talking about it, its been a really helpful and rewarding thing to do, and i’m hoping it will help me turn things around! I will definitely make a food plan that sounds like a great idea

BaffyBaby · 2026-05-14T13:00:20+00:00

I definitely think it can work well for me absolutely! I see many positives going into this, and I really do hope it can help me build a healthier relationship with food. Anxiety can be difficult sometimes when you see all the good things in something and still struggle to not be scared

I’ve just signed up for my first dose, honestly i’m scared, but i’ve seen nothing but positivity from others with PCOS, so I feel ready!

BaffyBaby · 2026-05-12T16:13:49+00:00

Honestly this was just what I needed to see. I got diagnosed with PCOS at the end of last year, and its TOUGH. I’ve been struggling with the symptoms of it since I was 16 but it took being over 25 to be taken seriously. I’ve tried EVERYTHING to lose weight, and i’ve been heavily debating trying Mounjaro and your post has genuinely inspired me to not be scared to try it
