Noisy food cravings and how to stop them?
(SW 125 kg, CW 113,2 kg, H 173 cm)
Howdy,
I'm in a bit of a hazy spot and need some venting, perhaps someone had similar experiences.
Idk, but I have to put this into words and whatever people I talk to in life ain't very helpful (well, they are, until the first hiccup but I'm a big boy, it's on me).
I have been taking Mounajro for some time now and the weight loss has been slow but steady. I was always most concerned with yoyo effect (since I have experienced it in the past, albeit not with this drug) and so I haven't been that concerned that I wasn't "shedding" fat.
I've always had cravings (as many do) but with MJ they became manageable.
I walk my dog for about 2h from 6 to 8pm (the legendary 10k steps a day are easy), so if I eat dinner at 4pm, by 8, with the extra activity, that hunger, sugar and whatever else really acts up. So, after bit of experimenting, I realized there was no point in fighting- I may be able to stave off the sweet menace for two, three days, but eventually it would catch up with me. Now, I'm talking the usual chocolate bars and others.
I allowed my self a little something for my troubles at the end of the day, in bed, while watching something. Sure, there were days where that hunger was bigger, some where there was none.
But the weight was going down, slowly (perhaps very) but down either way.
However. Lately (for about a month or two), that weight stagnated, and started fluctuating. Down a few kg, up a few, and so on.
And those cravings became unbearable. It may be because there is a lot of stress currently, but it is, quite simply, annoying. I jab myself every week, I feel the various effects throughout the day, I can survive on coffee and a sandwich until late afternoon, but come evening? Oh boy.
I know that the best way to fight it is substitute the unhealthy with healthy, do something else to occupy the mind. I'm not hungry (and I still have a lot of storage) so what the hell. Eating more balanced diet, more fiber, protein, whatever should be the answer but at this point all I want is to just stop eating.
I am not sure what I want to achieve with this post, like I said. But maybe putting it in writing will give me a better perspective.
But, I did add „Question” flair, so- any tips or advice to stop the noise and cravings?
