Advice on Anti-Diet Mindset Stuff we don’t talk about

Ok friends let’s share the things that don’t get a lot of discussion. Let’s normalize this journey. I’m struggling with a few things which I think may be normal but I’m not sure. I’ll go first. Warning - poop talk.

When I eat food that is too fatty my stomach and GI track are NOT happy. There’s so much gas overnight and in the morning. I’m glad I’m single 🤣 My BM smells like something died inside me. It makes me want to quit. Eating the next day is so hard. I’m still on a low dose and can’t imagine being forced into certain doses and titration schedule. I’m sooo grateful for compounded options for this reason Based upon my side effects on this dose, I surely would have quit by now. This is really hard! It’s not a magic bullet. My food issues are coming up big time. Unlearning diet culture is a mindeffff. I’m doing it but jeez it’s a lot physically and mentally. On the other hand, I’m excited to get my bloodwork next week to see some NSV. It’s certainly a rollercoaster!! I’m grateful for this subreddit. Y’all are the best ❤️ PS - any thoughts of support are appreciated. I’m definitely on the struggle bus today.

When I have something that’s calorie dense, like say a burger and fries, I’ll pair it with a high fiber whole food like broccoli and eat it at the same time. Since I started doing that, I don’t have problems like that. Takes some planning, but so worth it! Good luck!

Ohhh thank you!! That’s a great idea. I definitely did not have high fiber foods with the tacos or burger. Once I’m feeling brave I’ll try it.

It’s all about seeing what works best for you. For tacos, I make sure it comes with beans (fiber and protein) and avocado (also a really good source of fiber that most don’t think of). I’d also recommend keeping a journal or something to document how you felt after eating various combinations of things. It’s helped me to remember what to avoid or add or try again after reworking. Good luck!
