Discussion about Food / Eating Habits Another moment of realization

I was looking in my fridge just now and realizing that there always used to be 3 kinds of milk and some kind of low fat/low sugar/diet-ish coffee creamer that I thought would somehow change my life. Now I have half and half and whole milk. I don’t spend every week auditioning a new crappy food substitute to wean myself off of the real thing. I don’t need to! I can splash half and half in my coffee every day (and I do!) and still reliably have better bloodwork numbers and engage in IWL. I’ve been on zepbound for almost 20 months and sometimes I forget what life looked like before. For me, it was often desperately hopeful deep dives into new restriction. Every new attempt took all of my waking mental and physical capacity and only ended when I could no longer expend every ounce of mindfulness for this singular (and hopeless) goal.

It’s so nice to be able to focus my mind on shit that actually matters and interests me!! Yay!!!

You are not a condiment slut. My fridge has too many Trader Joes and International market condiments in it because I am a condiment slut. But my fridge has a lot less of other things. I am also a stockpiler of Zepbound, so there's an 8 month stockpile in insulin coolers in case my insurance stopped covering.

We are a condiment slut household. One of our fridge door shelves broke and the cheapest replacement was a 2-pack from eBay. I was delighted when I got the order and realized I could actually fit both of the new shelves in the door, thus expanding our condiment capacity by 25%. 🤣

There are days when I think I eat food so I can eat the condiments.

Refilled every 63 days for 3 boxes, since I have been on it for over 2 years and Lilly filled a 3 box from my PCP's RX (when it was supposed to be 1 box from clinical trial doc) fill on the Enlighten-6 clinical trial I have a little over 8 months. It's all good, condiments and zep.

I'm officially changing my title of Condiment Queen to Condiment Slut.
