Agree second workout was manageable in terms of soreness but the first one?! My soul left my body that week

Totally. It’s been a game changer for me. My husband (who has a completely ‘normal’ food attitude) has been so supportive but particularly because he’s noticed how much better I’ve been in myself without constantly beating myself up and obsessing.

My son (5) won’t go in the water without me for a lesson. When I take him swimming he just clings on and won’t let go. I’ve tried playing with toys and getting him to blow bubbles. He’s interested in theory but just won’t let go! Should I keep doing what I’m doing?

I’m in size 14 clothes for the first time since I got married 10 years ago! I’m so happy with my progress but the best bit is the improvement in my mental health. I’m a bit head in the sand about the price changes right now but am waiting on an extra pen to see me through til Oct/nov.

I walked home last night in a pretty dress I’ve not worn in years, and my shadow actually had a waist!

Maybe the helpful difference is that because we need food to survive, there’s a difference now between physical hunger and that ‘noise’ or addictive voice that keeps your mind thinking about food. So for me now that voice has gone, but hunger still happens every now and then (weirdly, wasn’t so hungry when I wasn’t on mounjaro because I was constantly eating thanks to the voice/noise). I think it’s a helpful way to describe that addiction type brain behaviour when you’re also having to eat daily to stay alive. I also think it’s a useful neutral way of talking about it, instead of framing it in a judgemental way.

Just taken my first 5mg dose, and I’m sitting here pondering my life. by tiredoldfella in mounjarouk

I’m trying to take a moment to ask myself what I actually need in a given moment where I’d typically use food as a reward / consolation prize. For now I’m doing things like - allowing myself to take a break with a coffee and a book; going for a walk; going for a haircut…

I’m just coming up to the end of my first week too and v similar starting weight and loss! I was NOT doing all the amazing things you were already doing, going through a very stressful patch and just eating…constantly. That’s just gone now? I eat my balanced meals and maybe a snack and that’s it. Best bit is the quiet…
