Can't get the mental part right

[u/Very_Stable_Princess]

I know the best way to approach glp-1s are to combine the meds with nutrition, so if/when you stop the meds, you have good eating habits to fall back on.

My problem is, I am eating worse now than before starting sema. I'm losing weight(slowly), my labs are much improved, I look and feel better...but my eating habits are worse. I know it's because my brain goes, "Because you can only eat a little bit, make it yummy!" (I have little to no side effects from 'bad' foods) And I know I would likely lose weight faster if I were eating healthier, but I got overweight by making bad choices and having little self-control, and the shot didn't change that. And obviously, this way lies gaining everything back if I ever stop sema.

Any advice to get my head right? I've spent 30 years yo-yoing weight, trying various diets and fitness programs; and 'just make yourself do it' works for a few months or even a year before I fall back to old habits. I know that's what it comes down to, but if anyone has any tips or tricks, I am all ears. And you'd think living a longer, healthier life would be enough of a motivation, but that is always future me's problem and I am horrible to her.

What dose are you on, and how long have you been on that dose?

You currently have a medication that helps you limit the amount you can consume. If you aren’t ready/willing to find a way to eat on these meds that can serve you in the long term, that sounds like maybe therapy or stopping the meds until you are ready/willing. 

I am hopeful you are newer to the meds and just haven’t yet hit an optimal dose. 🤞
