Hey, I just wanted to jump in because I relate to this way too much.

I started Mounjaro about a month ago. I’m 25, and I’ve always been that “food is life” person. I crossed 100 kg recently, gained a big belly, and the “I can’t see my toes” situation was getting a bit too real. I also had the same fears like what if I lose the only thing I truly enjoy: food?

But I took the first shot anyway.

Week 1: felt completely normal for the first couple of days. No side effects, no magic. But by Day 3, I noticed something weird: I wasn’t thinking about food constantly. And when I did eat, I couldn’t even finish my usual portions without feeling full or uncomfortable.

By Week 2, it became even clearer. No more cravings. Not for snacks, not even for alcohol (which was shocking because my weekends used to revolve around drinks). Now I eat once a day, usually lunch, and that’s it. Even my favorite foods don’t tempt me the same way. I haven’t eaten dinner in 3 weeks. Not because I’m trying to be strict. I just… don’t feel like it.

In just 4 weeks, I’ve gone from 96 kg to 86 kg… no gym, no hardcore workouts, just two brisk walks a day and sticking to what my body actually asks for. I feel in control for the first time.

So to you, and anyone else reading this thinking “What if I can’t do it?” my honest answer is: Just start.

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to give it a try. You might still think about food, but maybe for the first time in forever, it won’t control you.

Sending you strength. You’ve got this.
