One person said: ”I’m 3 weeks off of it & nearly a STONE up. I’m still running, weightlifting and calorie counting, I’m spiralling.”
Someone else chimed in: ”Without it, my life is controlled by food. My mind is consumed by diet.
”Mounjaro frees me from it and I live a happier, healthier life. I don't want to stop.”
A third thought: ”You gotta really put in the graft and mentally get yourself in a place to get off it, otherwise you're wasting your money.”
”Mounjaro is a temporary fix. Overeating/comfort eating is centred in the mind and without a change of mindset this won't go away.
”I'm 58 and tried every diet and MJ, the food noise is still there.”
