I posted on here before about my appointment with MWLC.

I got denied sadly. The NP was very kind about it but suggested I try other approaches like therapy to help manage overeating.

Apparently my BMI is healthy 159 cm 67kg. Which I last I checked was overweight (26.5)

Should I try again? If I do, should it be with someone else at MWLC or a different clinic?

I’ve seen mentions of downscale on this sub. Do you think they might prescribe me?

Thank you in advance 🙏

EDIT: I don’t think I will pursue a prescription again. I will chat to my GP about if there are other options for managing my binge eating/ helping me get to a healthier weight. Thank you everyone for your insight.

I’m getting my initial consultation early next week and I’m worried I will be denied.

I’m 159cm who is 67 kg so not quite meeting the BMI criteria. I’m also on the younger side so I am worried they will deny me in favour of encouraging diet and exercise.

I have tried diet and exercise which did work for a time but I always put the weight back on due to food noise. I also haven’t spoken about this to my GP due to embarrassment.

It is exhausting. I just don’t want to constantly be thinking about food and disliking my body.

Is there anything I should know going into my appointment?

Is it unfair of me to use this?

Edit: I mistyped my height

Hi, I posted this elsewhere but thought this sub would probably have more helpful suggestions.

Unfortunately a family member has ended up in the ICU. Due to the stress of everything I have been stress eating/ binging for comfort. Any advice on how to stop? Gaining weight is the last thing I need right now. It will just make me feel more horrible.

I would ride it out but this nightmare doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon.
