Women over 50 | Food Noise | Mounjaro | All the challenges that come during and after

Hello,

My name is Lee, I'm from Melbourne Australia. I am 56 yrs old.

I started my Mounjaro journey in April this year.

My starting weight was 140.3kg and is now 123.1kg

My goal weight is 80kg

I started this post because I feel there is a need for support for those (including me) that deals with a lot of "food noise".

Before I started mounjaro, food noise monopolised my thoughts every day. If I went to work, what food am I taking, is it enough. If I go out to dinner, what am I going to eat, will I look like a pig if eat too much in public. I constantly had food or snacks with me all the time! If I went out anywhere, what food do I take and so on ……

On Mounjaro, the food noise stopped instantly! this is great! so far I have lost just over 17kgs in 14 weeks.

I joined a Mounjaro Facebook group to chat with people on the same journey and have discovered that a lot of people are gaining weight back when they stop mounjaro and the food noise returned as well and have gone back to using Mounjaro and feel they have to stay on it long term!

This terrifies me! Not only is it insanely expensive in Australia, don't want to rely on injections to keep my weight and thoughts at bay for ever :(

So I am here seeking other peoples stories and how their mental health is going.

No lectures please.

thanks
