I’m not talking about while you’re eating, I’m talking about during the next couple hours after over eating. A food coma is absolutely the same feeling as a good high from some drugs. After eating a way too huge meal and laying on the couch i feel soooooo relaxed and floaty and drifting in and out of heavy sleep.
The problem with overeating, is once you need to stop yourself, it’s harder to - because you still need to eat. You still need to keep doing the thing that you’ve got a problem with.
Imagine if to “stop smoking”, you had to smoke 3x a day?
That’s why eating disorders are so damn hard for people.
I desperately wish I could go cold turkey on eating. It is such a difficult thing to regulate for me, I want to simply give it up like I did for nicotine.
Mmm cold turkey.
Not bad. Nice, hot mustard. Good bread. The turkey’s a little dry… The turkey’s a little dry? Oh foul accursed thing! What demon from the depths of hell created thee?
Do smoothies/liquid ish things instead… Protein powder + spinach leaves+ any combination of blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, pineapple, bananas …
GLP1 drugs changed my life. When I’m on it, I have absolutely no desire to overeat. When I’m off it, even if my stomach is hurting from overeating, I still want to eat. It’s pretty crazy.
I recently quit and I’ve been surprised that I haven’t gained all my weight back yet.
But it’s truly crazy until you try this drug, if it works for you, how life changing it is. It really is like, wow, is this how it feels like to be able to be normal???
Just make sure that you keep up the good habits you had while on the medication. If you go back to your old habits the wright will come back. Glp1 blockers only work to force you into the good habits you need to keep when you go off it.
