From 13(when I was first called fat by my sister) I have kept my weight in the low end to under my bmi through a perpetual binge then restrict cycle. I was always miserable regarding food - either because I wasn't letting myself eat what I wanted, or because I was over indulging and seeing the scale tick up and up. I've tried therapists, plans, all sorts, and none of it worked. I then went on a four-week micro dose (1mg) of tirzepatide to curb my binge instincts. Despite not being hungry, I made myself eat a reasonable amount of balanced foods each day. I lost the same 20lbs I've been cycling for years. Having now weaned off for three months, the amount I eat has stayed steady, my energy has increased, and the binge urges have not returned (and so neither have the restrict). Honestly, at 34, having struggled with this for 20 years, it feels like I have my life back. I can enjoy good food without eating too much or hating myself for eating it. I know it's only been 3 months since stopping, but this is the longest time in 20 years I have been able to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle. So hopeful and so happy
