I was cleaning out my closet and found my C-PAP machine in the corner. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea 4 years ago and hadn’t given much thought to the fact that I no longer need the machine when I sleep (monitored by my doctor). I am so grateful for the wins, not just the ones on the scale. What is your NSV?

Here’s something that doesn’t get talked about enough: Yes, you can still emotionally eat while using a GLP‑1. And it doesn’t mean you failed. It doesn’t mean you don’t have enough willpower. It doesn’t necessarily mean your GLP‑1 stopped working. GLP‑1s can be incredibly helpful for reducing appetite and quieting food noise. That quieter brain can finally give us the space to work on what has been happening underneath the eating. But they don’t instantly erase the pathways your brain has practiced for years. If you’ve regularly turned to food when you’re stressed, overwhelmed, bored, lonely, tired or celebrating, your brain remembers: “This feeling is uncomfortable. Food helps.” That pathway can still light up—even when you aren’t physically hungry. --------------------------------------------------- So what do you do when it happens? 1️⃣ Pause without judging yourself. Instead of saying, “Why am I doing this AGAIN?” try saying, “Interesting. Something must be going on.” 2️⃣ Check for physical hunger. Would a normal meal or snack sound good—or are you searching for one very specific food to change how you feel? 3️⃣ Name what you’re actually feeling. Am I hungry—or am I overwhelmed, lonely, angry, bored or exhausted? 4️⃣ Ask what you need besides food. Maybe you need a walk, a nap, a good cry, a conversation, a change of scenery—or five quiet minutes when nobody is asking you for anything. 😂 You can still choose to eat! The goal isn’t to make emotional eating forbidden. The goal is to create enough space that eating becomes a choice instead of an automatic reaction. That’s the real gift of doing the brain work alongside a GLP‑1. We aren’t simply trying to eat less. We’re learning how to take care of ourselves differently. Now it’s your turn—and there is absolutely no judgment here: Which feeling is most likely to send you looking for food when you aren’t physically hungry? A. Stress B. Overwhelm C. Boredom D. Loneliness or sadness E. “I deserve a treat!” F. Something else
