      @Chesbro99 I see! I smoke every day too so I understand munchies pretty well. Perhaps you could prepare some good snacks in advance that are still satisfying, like something healthy with a crunch that will fill you up? Veg and hummus?

      I struggled a lot with impulsive eating before i was diagnosed with adhd. Stimulant meds changed my life in a lot of ways, including making impuse eating wayyyyyy easier to manage. if you think you might have adhd def talk to a professional and look into treatment options

      Are you trying to restrict your intake during the day? Sometimes bingeing is a response to extreme hunger. Is there something else bothering you that is causing the binges? Eating disorders aren't about the food; there's always something deeper causing it. If the eating disorder didn't serve us in some way as a coping mechanism, we wouldn't be doing it. And I recommend speaking to a therapist about it if you haven't already; they can give you skills to help reframe your mind around food and get better. Best of luck.

        @mtngoat thanks. I do try to eat less during the day since I know I'll eat so much in the evening. But I'm not restricting. I don't have that type of self control. I think it's mostly caused by being lonely at night. Or cause I feel emotional empty and i fill that with food. I also get high everything and get the munchies.

      When I started Ozempic, I most completely lost any will to eat. I literally had to force myself to eat at least once a day just to get some nourishment.

          @Chesbro99 I would DEFINITELY recommend bringing it up to your doctor. I lost 12 pounds in less than a month.
