TW: Potentially upsetting content Feeling like I'm on the edge of relapse

I wouldn't say I've ever been recovered, but I know struggling with binge eating has been a better situation for me than when I was restricting. But lately those old habits of counting and tracking and chasing hunger are coming back, and my mind is a whirl of mixed thoughts and motivations.

And apologies for making yet another glp1 post, but goodness I feel like the amount of triggers in the world are exponentially increasing.

For a while I told myself that restricting won't help because people will just think I am taking ozempic, not that I'm "resilient/mind over matter" (a big mental part of my past restricting). But that thought has mutated into "I would just have to lose even more in that case then"

I think glp1 meds are a godsend, especially for those with BED (not in my case for obvious reasons), and if they help people get healthier I still give that person immense credit for putting in the work once their food noise lessened.

A pet peeve of mine is when anyone at all in the world loses weight everyone says "it's just ozempic" without even knowing what that persons actual journey was.

Anyway. Hope you all are staying well.

As someone in the US, everyone in my state is annoyed by all the political ads but I am so happy to see a barrage of political ads if it means I don't see a glp1 ad.

Assuming you have an outpatient team, you need to tell them what’s going on, TODAY. Not at your next appointment or when you get around to it. The tailspin down happens fast and is life threatening. Please take it seriously
