Hey everyone — for my introduction: I'm a young woman, and binge eating has been something I've dealt with. Over the last few years I've gone through a weight loss journey with repeated rounds of cutting, maintaining, then messing up and putting weight back on.
These days I'm fully committed to my activity — I lift weights 4x per week and log every calorie, even when I've slipped up. For the past couple months I've been on a low maintenance dose of a glp, and when I tried to stop, the cravings hit me hard! So I'm taking it again, but the expense is turning into a problem.
On top of that, I've come across information saying that oral birth control doesn't work as well while on a glp/gip. That's annoying since it's the method I'd rather depend on, though from my own experience my period still hasn't come back while on it, which makes me wonder how much it really affects absorption at the dose I take.
A few months from now I'm meant to take a long trip to Italy, staying with an Italian family who I've been warned would be "very offended" if I don't eat with them — so my diet will be mostly out of my hands there, and I'm also not sure whether I can [[Q1]] while abroad. Until then, I'm hoping to keep my calories in check.
