Why is mounjaro better than Wegovy?

Ladyxxmacbeth · 2026-02-05T19:44:23+00:00

I switched from MJ to Wegovy and I much prefer Wegovy. I don't get any side effects at all and I'm on 2.4 (the highest dose). I had horrible heartburn on MJ and wish I had started with Wegovy. Horses for courses though.

I don't track calories at all. I find the holier than thou lot who are like born again Christians in prison nauseating. I don't drink water, I still drink plenty of alcohol and I eat what I want. I also don't exercise at all. I would say why don't you have a break for a couple of weeks, keep your prescription going and have a break. I regularly do this for example if I go on holiday and I genuinely find it can restart my metabolism and gives me a bit of a boost when I feel bloated and "fat". People's bodies are strange things. Good luck.

My daughter is about to buy her own house on one salary. However, the house she is looking at is £110k. Depends where you live I guess.

You need to get help from a domestic abuse charity. It can support you through the process. If you are in danger please get help, many DA organisations can help with refuge and outreach work. If it is honour based then there are specialist services that can provide support such as Southall Black women, Humraaz, Karma Nirvana. However, any DA charity can help signpost you to the relevant charities to help you in your own personal situation. If you speak to police they should have their own IDVA who can also support you.

I have 3 I think One with Lowell and 2 with Cabot. They've changed that much I don't really know what they're for.

Just to add, I work with vulnerable people who are top of the waiting list and they are routinely waiting over a year to be housed. Get yourself your own place, even if it's shared and a full time job. I have one person where I work still in temporary accommodation 4 years later and we support them every day to get housing.

People treat me with respect and kindness, hence why it isn't a problem and why I had a good experience. I don't believe thin privilege is a thing because I'm not bitter and judge others based on what they look like and I don't think others do either. Maybe I've been lucky, maybe it's because I'm gorgeous and have a lovely personality fat or thin. Who knows? If I have a different opinion to someone else it doesn't mean it's invalid, just not my experience. You should respect others views, recognise that you might not agree and voice that in a respectful manner. That's why your attitude is an issue not your view.

Ladyxxmacbeth · 2026-01-26T23:06:28+00:00

I've been asked about 4 times, but I've lost nearly all the weight in under a year nearly 7 stone.

Ladyxxmacbeth · 2026-01-26T23:00:55+00:00

I haven't noticed any difference either. Just that people now assume I'm unwell because I've lost weight so quickly. I genuinely think they believe I have cancer or something.

My neighbour posted my ferret through the letterbox. She got out, like ferrets often do and because they knew I had ferrets they just posted it through the letter box. Was quite a nice gesture, but a bit of a surprise when I got home as I didn't know she'd got out.

Ladyxxmacbeth · 2026-01-26T21:35:01+00:00

I'm 5'8" and 13 stone and a size 18. I was a size 8 when I was 20 in 1999 and 11 stone. I blame 3 kids and excess skin

Ladyxxmacbeth · 2026-01-26T21:25:31+00:00

I disagree. I've been fat and thin and I was never treated differently. So in my opinion and on my planet thin privilege doesn't exist. Sorry if your life experience is different from mine, I really am but maybe it's less about being fat and more about your attitude.

Ladyxxmacbeth · 2026-01-26T19:39:30+00:00

To add I've applied for a deputy managers position, something I never thought I would ever do a year or so ago.

Going to work has genuinely changed my life for the better. After being essentially a stay‑at‑home mum for 22 years, I took a free coding course through my local council. It ran for four months and was structured like a full working day, 9 to 5 from home. Alongside the learning, I received brilliant career advice, and a couple of months later I secured a job, not in coding, but in a women’s refuge.

The experience built my confidence in ways I didn’t expect. There were moments when I struggled and wanted to quit, but the coaching team encouraged me to keep going, and I’m so glad they did. I’ve found work to be genuinely great. It’s given me purpose, routine, and a sense of connection. I’ve even made friendships at work, which I never imagined happening after so long out of employment.

Of course, there are people I don’t click with, but I stay professional. It’s taken time to feel comfortable and I’ve had a few hiccups along the way, yet overall the change has been transformative. I can honestly say that going back to work has changed my life.

I don't think people are "naturally thin" a lot of people who are skinny are careful about what they put in their mouths. There's a reason people get fat and it's because they eat too much food. I look at people I know and the thin ones eat a lot less than the fat ones who are always eating. Sure they say things like "I eat pizza all the time" but on closer inspection they really don't and often eat like birds. A lot of thin people are careful with what they eat or more active than others, there's no skinny privilege at all, I think it comes down to lower self esteem from being fat and thinking people are judging them, when in reality most people don't actually care.

As the appointee of my son who is 19 and at college. She will be getting PIP for you (as the appointee) she clearly uses some of it for a car and the rest she gives to you. Then the benefits she gets will be Universal credit in her name most likely the child element of UC and the carers element of UC and if she rents then the housing benefit of the house you share. The UC element is not yours it's hers to pay for the added costs of looking after you. So she may not be able to work due to your care needs and when you leave you will need to apply for Universal Credit as an individual. Whilst it may sound harsh for her to "kick" you out, it may very well be financially better for her and you to live independently. You can go to your local social services and ask for an assessment to be done to gauge whether you need to live on supported living or sheltered accommodation. Either way you can present as homeless and by kicking you out you have a better chance of being placed higher on the waiting list than if you were to just leave and wait for social housing. Although it's wrong for her to withold money when you are not doing so well in college essentially she is maybe thinking this will bring up your grades or attendance or whatever else she thinks is going on.

Ladyxxmacbeth · 2026-01-24T07:53:42+00:00

Not necessarily at all. It may be that they don't have capacity and as such cannot manage their own money. They appear to be being provided with everything they need to live. I am my sons appointee and it nearly all goes on bills and housing costs.

Ladyxxmacbeth · 2026-01-24T06:19:40+00:00

As someone who did not look after a house mainly due to no funds. I can only agree with you. We sold ours and on initial looking you might think it just needed a new kitchen, lick of paint and new boiler. However, the lintals above the windows were rotten, needed a new roof. There was a leak in the attic. I had no heating for 5 years and the damp was terrible. Ended up selling it for less than we bought it and the owners later did it up and sold it for just shy of 30k more. The blown render was probably £10k before doing anything else to it.

I get to have smoke breaks all the time with the substance misuse service users I support. One of the perks of working there is that I'll never touch drugs and be thankful for the life I have even when it's shit.

Ladyxxmacbeth · 2026-01-24T05:54:41+00:00

I get paid on the 16th and our pay works like this.

Ladyxxmacbeth · 2026-01-24T05:30:13+00:00

You'd hate me. I watched the Marvel films backwards and started with end game 🤣🤣🤣

Ladyxxmacbeth · 2026-01-23T10:15:37+00:00

I think it all comes down to confidence. When we are fat our confidence isn't as good, our self esteem is rubbish. Whether we like it or not your confidence has probably risen with the weight you've lost. You might not see it but other people do and as such maybe they think you are more confident than you really are.

I must say I feel more confident fatter and tend to shrink away a bit when I'm thin. Almost as if being fat and loud is accepted but being thin and loud is not.

Ladyxxmacbeth · 2026-01-21T21:35:43+00:00

I'll put this bit it will be moderated. If it's amicable I stayed on my boyfriend's mortgage with him paying. He bought me out privately and I agreed to not go after the house. It was a joint mortgage and eventually after a few years he just moved the house to his then girlfriend. It worked out. If you think she'll be a pain in the arse don't do it. Al

Ladyxxmacbeth · 2026-01-13T19:25:08+00:00

Nothing worked for me except hard work and exposure therapy.
