Overeating

Has anyone also struggled with overeating disorder and eating very unhealthily? If so, did anything help to stop or at least lessen it?

I have lost a lot of weight but i still struggle with binge eating, especially since i went back on Zyprexa and off of Mounjaro. I’m trying Lybalvi now which is Zyprexa with samidorphan, which is supposed to reduce hunger. I track my intake with a food app and measure/weigh my foods.

But everyday is a struggle to not overeat, and i often exercise for long periods to “earn” certain foods. I simply cannot have some foods in the house or i will eat them all. I feel incredibly angry and disgusted at myself when i overeat, too.

I haven’t figured out how to “beat” overeating, i just cope with it. It will always be a problem for me that i have to deal with every…frigging…day. I hope you find what works for you.

I’ve struggled with overeating for most of my life
Right now Mounjaro is helping me but I still get these urges to eat delicious high carb foods like pasta.
Yeah it is still an issue for me but it’s much better now then it was before being placed on a GLP 1 medication

Stopping smoking weed and taking a lower dose of AP helped me stop overeating.

Lately I’ve been binge eating to the point of being sick. I can’t have a lot of food in my house really. I’ve had problems with food since my mom got sick before she died. I was 13. Up until that point I ate like a normal person and was never overweight.

Has Mounjaro helped you to lose any weight? I’d like to get on something like Mounjaro but I don’t think my doctor will prescribe it for me even though I’m overweight

Yes it has helped me lose weight but if you don’t have diabetes there’s Zepbound

To eat less, drink less
