I'm almost 5 years out and now im gaining weight back. I absolutely know it's what I eat and how much. Im struggling with mindless eating.
 
I made an appointment with my bariatric doctor for the 14th. I can't afford the shots as not covered by my insurance. It's 350 for just one month of shots

I really understand this. I’m almost 8 years out, and one of the hardest things for me to accept was that knowing what to eat didn’t automatically stop me from eating when I wasn’t hungry. For me, the mindless eating usually had something else underneath it—stress, boredom, comfort, or simply being on autopilot.


One thing I’ve learned is that mindless eating usually isn’t just a food problem. Sometimes we have to slow the pattern down enough to understand what is happening before we reach for food. You’re not failing—you may just need different tools for this stage of your journey. Have you noticed a certain time of day or situation when it happens the most?
