I just want to eat junk food! :(

I’ve been craving a lot of food today. I ate alot during dinner. Later on I wanted to go buy potato- chips but stopped myself. I ate three bananas instead. My mouth waters when I think of food.

Why can’t they invent pills that makes you less hungry???

Yea. It is very hard to live of veggies and oauts like I do. I call it fourst feeding. Every 3. Day I eat something unhealthy because my tastebuds want something fat or sweet. I maintain my bmi on 27.

It could be what you’re eating. Certain foods make you crave more of them. Sometimes, if you’re trying to avoid eating too much, you end up not eating enough of something your body needs and then it causes you to crave the fastest, easiest, source to get the most of that thing.

Since that’s typically fats and sugars, it ends up being that you crave junk food and not fruits and veggies, because junk food gives you more of it faster.

I would highly recommend keeping a food log for a few days and see if you notice any patterns.

Luckily the cravings went away. I was about to go crazy.

I’ll keep a food log next week. Thanks for the tip!

There’s a new drug called Mysimba out there. Has anyone tried it??

Contrave in the states. I tried to take it, my doctor prescribed it, but I couldn’t afford it. :-1:

I’ve heard really good things, though.

Ok! Yeah if it’s a new med then it’s probably expensive. I’ll talk to my doc if I keep being hungry. I would quit olanzapine but it’s the only med that works for me so I’m stuck with it.

Pretty sure it’s just Wellbutrin and low dose naltrexone combo.

I’m already on Paxil so I don’t think my doc wants to prescribe Mysimba, there is probably a drug interaction??

I remembered I just made a thread about craving alcohol and carbs.

Something is definitely up??

Yeah, I think you’re not supposed to take paxil and Wellbutrin together.
