Hi there, to introduce myself I’m a young woman who has struggled with binge eating - have been on a weight loss journey and various cycles of cutting and maintaining, then slipping up and gaining again on and off for the past few years.
I’m now really locking in with my activity, lifting weights 4x a week and tracking every calorie even after a slip up. I’ve been taking a low maintenance dose for a glp for the past couple months and attempted to come off it but my cravings really came in full force! I am now back on it but the cost is becoming troublesome.
As well as this I’ve read that oral birth control effectiveness is reduced when taking a glp/gip, this is somewhat of a pain as I prefer to rely on this method, but anecdotally I have found my period hasn’t returned since being on it so it does have me questioning how severely it impacts the absorption at my dose.
In a few months I am supposed to be going on a long trip to Italy where I’ll be staying with an Italian family who I have been told will be “very offended” if I don’t eat with them - so I will have little control over my diet then, as well as being unsure if I can what I have abroad. Hoping to keep my calories under control until then.
