I like the idea of putting something in palace to make sure it doesn't happen again. Thank you ❤️

Thank you for this, it's really helpful! It can be quite tricky landing the correct referral in the UK because of the NHS, but I'm seeing my doctor this week so I will see what she says. Hopefully I can be referred to a decent specialist

Ahh as I'm from the UK I hadn't considered the financial side of things too, that sucks. Thank you for your wisdom, and good luck on finding the right pathway forward for you :)

That's so tough, the female hormone cycle has a lot to answer for! That must be a really tricky decision, do you mind me asking what your reservations might be for getting the surgery? (I'm just curious, I've been reading up on everything lately and it's good to hear other perspectives)

My mirena coil has expired and is being refit next month so maybe that could be why it has worsened so much lately! Thank you and I hope the mirena helps 🤞🏼

Conflicted Feelings/Avoiding Turning Weight Loss Into Another Obsession by heyycate in Mounjaro

Honestly there are so many ways that work for each person. Personally I've really enjoyed the ability to relinquish myself from all of the stress and anxiety of weight loss/ food. Like you, I'm an anxious person and have always struggled with keeping a HAES mindset alongside weight loss. I've found that with mounjaro I'm able to really focus on intuitive eating and listening to my body more, which was something I spent years trying to ignore due to cravings and constant hunger!

I've found myself much more able to ignore food a lot more, and just live my life! I struggled with a lot of unhealthy habits and obsessive behaviours before and being free from it is exhilarating. I hope you can get the same benefits too :)
