As I read this, I'm mad at myself for polishing off a bag of Doritos. All the months I couldn't eat because food tasted awful after chemo, I felt happy watching the numbers drop each time I stepped on the scale. That's some crazy thinking. Being slender was great, but constantly beating myself up for each pound I gain back is brutal. Like you I wonder if I'll ever get over it.
Boy do I get this. I’ve been overweight (my word for obese} since I was 8. The only times I was skinny was when I was riding my bike 20 miles a day or when I did weight watchers 20 years ago. I lost 85 lbs that time and put a lot of it back on immediately after reaching goal. When I weighed in that day I promptly went around the corner and ate a big middle eastern meal. It was great. I was unhappy with my choices but it def was linked to deep depression. Butlast year, I turned 71. I’ve been working out and lifting weights for 10 years. It helped me lose 20 pounds. But I really wanted to be a healthier weight. So I’ve been on Mounjaro since September. I get it cheaper from Canada and I’ve lost 50. I feel healthy and I still can eat what I want but tiny amounts. Dairy Queen is calling…. A kids cup😅👍

OMG, no, you cannot be mad at yourself for eating!!! Arggggghhh. It never ends.
I got over it and had a popsicle.
Excellent
All so true and what makes it sadder and more frustrating is that I see my daughter responding to weight loss and gain in the same way.
Uggggghh. So sorry!
