90 days ago I wouldve never imagined to make it this far.. no i didnt became disciplined suddenly..I stopped treating every craving like an emergency. Some days were easy. Some days I stood in front of the fridge looking at my fav twix bar for ten minutes negotiating with myself. Some days I gave in but some days ehat i did is I just waited a little longer than usual. Over time, the cravings got quieter. The biggest surprise was realizing I no longer felt controlled by them.
90 days binge free . No perfection. Just a lot of small decisions that added up.i i can do it you can too

I hve been trying to quit sugar but seems like I have no willpower especially at night. Any underrated tips to escape sugar cravings? TIA

Hi posting for 2nd time .. can someone recommend low cal protein meals that are not bars or powder supplements. I am struggling to fulfil my protein goals during deficit

I'm have been tracking my appetite since on MJ ..just completed 2 months at 2.5mg with one more month to go before meeting my PCP and re-evaluating. Along the way the 2.5mg seems to be ineffective on the appetite control and food noise .. i feel like snacking all the time. the first couple of weeks had strong appetite suppression but then about 2 or so weeks I felt I could "eat through the dose" although losing weight. has anything like this happened to any of you? trying to figure out what is going on. I thought I might have to titrate up to 5 or 7.5mg

Hi 47f from uk here. Down to 160 from 197 in 3 months ( first shot in Mar 0.25 weekly) . Apart from the pounds i shred , i hav noticed a massive change in my appetite and the constant urge to snack like the food noise is literally gone .. i ‘ll be excited to see where am I once i hit a year .

Hi i want help to reduce sugar cravings which is ruining my life now . I have been trying OMAD diet and IF to shred around 20 lbs i put on after surgery but the intense cravings for sweets is ruining it all . My dietician asked me to eat high protein and fibre early in the day but its not working yet

242lbs vs 165lbs = 77lbs lost
feb 26’ vs may 26’
Biggest win is that i dont get food noise anymore

Hi i am 38F new to OMAD diet due to overeating issues but I am struggling to fulfill my daily protein intake. I have consistently improved my fibre intake by including more veggies in my main meal but struggling with protein.
P.S - i dont like cottage cheese. Also pls dont recommend any protein tracker i m using Craveshift and I m happy with it

210 lbs ➡ 158lbs.
51.6 lbs from Feb 2026 to May 2026.

I’m finally switching to maintenance. I’m so proud of myself.

I have been sugar free for 33 days now .. but the cravings for sweets and intense food noise is killing me ..i cudnt imagine this was so tough .. i think this is temporary becoz my brain is craving for pleasure that i get frm sweets.. hope i dont give in

I am 37 F with PCOS and I m pretty sure my snacking is induced by stress .. but how can i escape the constant thoughts about food ? I seem to have zero willpower when it comes to chips, candies and gummies.. i feel so down when i am not being able to sort my eating .. its so demotivating

I know this may not sound like a big deal to some people, but I don’t really have many people to share it with, so I’m putting it here.also excuse my English as i m not a native speaker
I’m finally getting out of my addiction to sugar and it wasnt easy .. i was overweight throughout most of my teenage years..There were times people madje fun of my bloated face, and honestly it stayed with me for a long time..I also went through medical issues and even a surgery for which i was out of the gym for 2 yrs.
Food was always emotional for me. I still remember it had so many phases where I completely banned sugar. No chocolate, no desserts, no junk. But the problem was always the same. One relapse and I’d spiral right back into it. There were times I could finish an entire tub of Nutella and 4 Twix bars in one sitting.
For years I thought the answer was to eat less, cut more, restrict harder. Then I found a super nice therapist who completely changed how I looked at food. One thing she told me really stayed with me..”We don’t tell someone with insomnia to just sleep more. We don’t tell someone with depression to just be happier. So why do we reduce food struggles to ‘just eat less’?”

That honestly changed something in my brain.
What I’ve learned is that restriction alone doesn’t work for everyone. You have to gradually rewire your relationship with food instead of constantly fighting yourself. I still crave sweets sometimes, but I don’t eat them on autopilot anymore. I usually eat a salad first or have sweets after a high-fibre meal, and it genuinely helps.i also started reading more about how sugar affects the brain and reward systems.. my fav is The Sugar Brain Fix.
I still get urges. I still have difficult days. But now I don’t see cravings as a personal failure . If i can do it , you can too

Started my Oz journey frm Mar .. honestly after a few rough weeks of tiredness and brain fog ..the food noise is gone.. i hav also lost 41.8 lbs since then .. feels so good
