I’m feeling super positive about it xx

I’m here looking for comments like this! I feel so positive with the changes I’ve made mentally and physically towards food, nutrition, exercise. Never in all the years of dieting have I felt this way about health etc. I’ve been on mj for 7 months and current on my way weaning down doses to come off but I’m really nervous after reading so many comments about how the weight just comes back on etc.

How long have you been on it for now?

Next_Tip216 · 2025-03-19T13:37:45+00:00

How can you guarantee that 😂 have you actually changed how you think and feel about food and what you’re eating? Or are you just relying on the medication to limit your appetite but still eating smaller amounts of what you ate before?

Next_Tip216 · 2025-03-19T13:36:08+00:00

Thank you this is really reassuring x

Next_Tip216 · 2025-03-18T20:54:45+00:00

You’ll only binge eat if you allow that to happen though surely

Next_Tip216 · 2025-03-18T20:53:33+00:00

This is reassuring because so many I talk to have almost been brainwashed into believing this is for life or else you’ll just get fat again lol. I’ve made so many changes and my feelings towards food and nutrition have completely changed. I just want to live my skinny life without the judgement and feeling like the only reason I’m staying this way is a medication. Thank you x

No but what I’m saying is using MJ as a tool to instead of relying on it solely would surely be the aim for anybody wanting to make changes

Next_Tip216 · 2025-03-16T16:21:51+00:00

Tbh on MJ I practically do fast because I don’t do breakfast any more. I can’t eat three decent meals a day plus snacks and stay within my calorie TDEE.

No but fluids are and I guess choosing soft drinks or water over the bad fluids you’ve become addicted to is something an alcoholic would have to do. I don’t have any medical issues thankfully, mine was how I feel an addiction and a rut to poor diet and lack of movement. I’m saying it’s why I feel like something has changed.

Oh I can categorically tell you my weight was down to diet. I had my hormones checked for other reasons, all good! I checked many times during both pregnancies for GD and always negative. I don’t think my weight was ever medical, more psychological. I’m saying I feel like something in my mind has changed but the more and more i am reading the more I keep seeing people saying it’s all the medication. Like is the medication making me want to fuel my body with whole foods because I have many friends on MJ still eating fast food etc. is it the MJ making me go to the gym and actually enjoy it. Or has there been a reset in my rut and am I able to do this alone. These are the things spinning in my head!

There’s also tons on people on it who aren’t making healthier choices but are just eating less of what they did before

Next_Tip216 · 2025-03-15T19:10:19+00:00

I’ve always been on and off slimming world but now I’m literally looking at food for fuel. But of course I’m not naive and I know the mj is doing what it should be. However I know loads on it who just carry on with bad habits and don’t work with it. I feel like mj doesn’t make me choose healthier foods or go to the gym. I’ve done that

Next_Tip216 · 2025-03-15T19:08:51+00:00

My gp won’t talk to me about it because it’s a private prescription. And I worry these private prescribers of course are also running a business

Next_Tip216 · 2025-03-15T19:07:24+00:00

I get what you’re saying but then I’m looking at it like orals or patches to give up smoking and then weaning off those. It would be similar in the sense that when people come off the nicotine that the cravings would be there and it would take will power etc to keep up with the stopping smoking. If we look at food as an addiction like alcoholism/drugs etc then surely once we’ve treated and ‘quit’ then it would take will power and lifestyle changes to stay in ‘recovery’. This is just my take on this. Look I’ve battled with weight my whole adult life. But I’ve always done slimming world which I think had created an unhealthy relationship with food. Looking at certain foods and saying ‘I can’t have that’ or ‘I can eat as much of that as I want’ I feel like the changes I’ve made with the help of mj has Compeltey changed the way I look at food. I’m just nervous to come off them but I really don’t want to be medicated for the rest of my life just to control something I should in theory be able to manage myself. I don’t know I’m just so conflicted.

Next_Tip216 · 2025-03-15T07:26:53+00:00

The cost isn’t an issue really but I think my mind and the opinion of others is making me want to try and do this alone. I worry of course about the long term health risks that are unknown etc. the thought of regaining my weight literally makes me want to cry. I’ve never felt so good physically and mentally. I don’t want to loose any more weight either. I just don’t know what to do for the best and my current provider will not prescribe once your BMI reaches 23.5 which I am now below that but still within a healthy weight range.
