davidsprincess's Journal, 23 Mar 24

Cleaned out the fridge and threw away so much crap that I bought that I didn't really like that was low calorie or something I intended to force myself to eat. I had gotten into the habit of needing to buy things I only liked a little bit because I am such a fatty that I have a hard time not eating and eating something. Or I would have to eat a ton just because it would take so much to feel full so I am always looking for lower calorie things to eat double- Eat twice as much of something that tastes like shit to try to get full or because I would not have control over anything that tastes good. To be able to eat only when hungry and not be drawn to food anymore is the most incredible thing in the world. I have suffered with food thoughts my entire life and have had to work and work and work for every pound lost and the whole time having to keep myself in check until I just couldn't anymore. For the first time ever- even the times I have lost over 100 pounds on my own (and maybe it was even worse then) food has no control over me at all. Not a bit. I don't see any difference between chocolate and tilapia. That is how tirzepatide works. Absolutely life changing. I don't have it but I am hoping it has reshaped my mind enough to keep me going until it is available. I know there are a lot of controversial things in this post- from throwing away food to using medication so comment away because I don't give af. I have had zero side effects- unwanted side effects, I should say. I need to buy stock in ely lilly. It is absolutely amazing. And I was reading a study about how these new medications are affecting effecting (I can NEVER remember if it is A or E and you have all told me a million times) manufacturing and everything from restaurants to clothing. It costs a lot but I have worked very hard for a long time and I was spending the same amount on food in large amounts and hurting me instead of helping me. I am so thankful to be able to have this (hopefully have again). Congrats to the amazing ones who do it all without help. I finally know how normal people feel without food addiction. I have heard it stops people from wanting alcohol, too. Unreal. I don't drink but maybe once or twice a year but clearly this has benefits still coming to light.

Exactly! you'll see the same testimonials on Reddit. To not have that nagging addiction all the dang time. when you're ready to stop, you can. Just build up your good habits and physical/ mental cues now. Retrain da brain. You know what to do and now that your thyroid is being treated you have even more of a fighting chance!

There should never be judgment over what type of WOE any of us are doing. You are doing what is working for you. I’m so glad to hear how successful you have been. I know last couple of years have been frustrating for you and I think between getting your thyroid in check and using the weight loss medication has helped retrain your brain and is making you feel so much better. It’s a win win in my book!💜

This makes me so happy for you! I am so glad you found something that helps. To not have sweets control my life would be amazing 🤯 can’t wait to see how far you go!!!

I agree with you princess. I think I am finally getting a better handle on this, more relaxed mode, eating reasonable food that I like, but tracking calories at the same time. One thing I know is helping Mr, is not having snickers, KitKats, doritoes and chips on a regular basis.

That is really awesome! I'm beyond happy for you. I think it's great that you have found a tool that can help you regain your health and lose weight. Food addiction is a real thing, and I am 1000% in support of using medicine to help overcome it. Plus, good on ya for wanting to take the changes that are happening and incorporating them into a healthy mindset and environment. You sound like you are thriving and excelling, DP. You inspire me!
