Last Tuesday I had a microwave rice bowl, then somehow a discounted granola bag and peanut butter straight from the jar while my econ notes glowed at me. It wasn’t a full-on old binge, but it had that familiar “I’m not even hungry, I’m just scrolling and chewing” feel.
I’m a dorm kid on a GLP-1 and usually my cheap protein plan works: eggs, cottage cheese, canned tuna, frozen edamame. That night the plan vanished and the snack drawer won.
I woke up embarrassed, not because of one night, but because I thought that switch was gone. I’m trying to treat it as data instead of a moral failure: no skipped breakfast, back to my normal grocery list, and a note about what set it off (late class plus no real lunch).
For folks who’ve had a snack spiral or binge-y night while on a GLP-1, what did you actually do the next day to get back on track without turning it into a whole punishment thing?
