My sister and I both are long term users of glp-1 meds, and this year we were able to get together for Thanksgiving. One of the things I love most about these peptides is their ability to de-center eating and food from even a day like Thanksgiving where food is the star. Do not get me wrong, we had a glorious feast and my sisters hubs cooked the majority of it! So an excellent day, without binging.
Such a relief to have a sense of control.
Today was a lazy day and we normally would have late night doordashed some Indian food bc why not we’re on vacay! But tonight, I had some spicy dill pickle goldfish and a little Hershey with almonds and called it a night.
Tomorrow morning I’m getting another authentic New York bagel and I won’t think twice.
This is the beauty of glp medications. You are so much more in control that you can splurge and enjoy, and get back on track. But portions are much less exaggerated, bc you can push away a delicious item when you feel full.
It’s like removing the scarcity mindset of a person who was raised very poor.. not easy! But once you truly decenter food from your day, the scarcity mindset goes with it, and it bleeds into other parts of your life.
For me, I have been able to make some changes in my business with confidence because survival mode and scarcity mindset aren’t at play. It’s weird how a win in one part of life mutates into a win in others..
Anyway, I hope you ate good, drank good and were merry… we will do it again at Christmas.. but with more cookies 🫶🏻🍪
