Hey everyone, I’ve been on Mounjaro for a while now (currently on my 6th box), and it was doing a great job suppressing my appetite.
But 2 days ago I quit smoking using Champix, and ever since then my appetite has gone crazy. I feel like eating all the time, especially sweets and snacks.
Before quitting smoking, Mounjaro was keeping things very controlled, so now I’m confused:
Is this just a normal effect of quitting smoking?
Or does it mean my Mounjaro dose isn’t working anymore?
Has anyone experienced something similar? How long did it last for you?
I really want to stay smoke-free, but this sudden increase in appetite is making it a bit difficult.

Hi everyone, I need some perspective.

Growing up as the oldest daughter, I had a really difficult relationship with my mom. She constantly pressured me to study and become independent, but all her attention was focused on academics. Whenever I failed, I felt invisible to her. The thing is, she never worked herself—despite having opportunities—and was a stay-at-home mom who struggled with depression and didn’t seem to enjoy being a parent.

Because of that, I carried a lot of anger toward her throughout my childhood. Still, I pushed myself and ended up achieving a lot academically. I got into top universities in my country, graduated, but then realized I didn’t like working life at all.

I got married, and for the past 2.5 years I haven’t been working. Lately, I feel like I’m slowly becoming like my mom—the very person I swore I would never be. I judged her so harshly for so long that now I’m wondering if this is some kind of karma for that.

I’m honestly scared of turning into her. I spent my whole life internally criticizing and looking down on her, and now I feel like I’m becoming that same person. The truth is, I really don’t enjoy working—but that also scares me.

Has anyone experienced something like this?
