My psychiatrist put me on Mounjaro last June to help me lose weight. I started at 226 lbs and the weight started coming off quickly. At first I would skip a meal or two but it progressed to where I was going 5 days without eating. I'd eat maybe half a ham sandwich then go another 5 days. I'm currently down to 134 lbs. I've lost 92 lbs. I'm a little obsessed with my weight, wanting to weigh myself everyday and weighing myself after I eat anything. Does this sound like an eating disorder?

It sounds like time to get some help - especially as you're now starving yourself which is really unhealthy - and the obsession around weight is clearly taking over - as you're under a psychiatrist I should definitely talk to them immediately about your current thoughts and eating pattern - get help now before things spiral further out of your control.

I agree with crossstitcher, it is time to get some help. It is critical that we nourish ourselves. I personally think that drugs can be helpful to jumpstart things, but I think it is a good goal for everyone to get by with as little as they can. Our society makes weight stuff so freaking hard and important, when bodies are so fickle. I wish you peace and hope on your journey ☮️
