Gemma Collins has always been open about her weight struggles, often posting her ups and downs with various diets and fitness plans on social media. But recently the reality star revealed something more personal, her hard battle with ' food noise' - constant, intrusive thoughts about eating.


Food noise affects thousands of people and is described as a constant stream of intrusive thoughts about food - what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat and how to manage cravings. It's more than just hunger, it's a mental loop that can persist throughout the day, disrupting focus, energy and peace of mind.


It's particularly common among those with a history of dieting, emotional eating or disordered eating habits - all struggles Gemma has faced in the past. However, the former TOWIE star now says she's finally found peace of mind and she's never felt better, the Mirror reports.


Injectable medications such as Mounjaro work by mimicking a hormone that affects appetite regulation in the brain.

These drugs were originally developed for type 2 diabetes, but now have been licensed for weight loss in the UK, they help users feel full for longer and eliminate the mental noise around food.


Speaking about her journey using the weight loss medication Mounjaro, Gemma revealed that she feels confident and in control for the first time in years. She said: "I feel amazing" and has credited the treatment for not just physical changes but mental relief too."

She shared: "I've gone from a size 26 to a size 20, and I've never felt better. Mounjaro is unbelievable and it's changed my whole life. I think it's a life-changing drug. Being able to pick up a size 20 top in M&S, put it on in the changing rooms and just get on with my day, is just such a life-changing experience for me honestly."

Gemma went on to express her frustration with individuals who use weight loss injections despite already being slim and not overweight.

The TOWIE icon criticised those using the jabs as a quick fix to lose a few pounds, saying it detracts from people who genuinely need them.

"I really don't agree with already slim people taking it, that's just not right at all, and it's not what it's for," she said.

"It's for overweight people and it breaks my heart when there's people on the NHS who can't access it and it's such a shame because everyone deserves not to struggle with their weight and you would only understand if you had a weight problem and how difficult it is. I know how it is."

When asked how she feels about the people who desperately want to go on the jab but are afraid of the side-affects, Gemma expressed that she could not recommend it enough - as she feels like a completely different person since taking it.

"Don't be scared or anxious - do it! You can't just buy them backstreet - there's so many people selling them dangerously and on the backstreet market. You have to go with a proper company and it will seriously change your life. It has been the biggest success for me. I have so much energy. I just feel good and I'm not obsessed with looking too thin."

"I feel a lot more confident - I mean I have always felt confident - but genuinely more confident in myself. I'm not panicking thinking 'Oh what can I wear'. I can go into so many more shops now, it feels beautiful. It's a massive weight off my shoulders," she revealed.

"I don't need to prove anything to anyone, I know myself that I'm losing the weight and I feel so much healthier. They really are a wonder-drug and if anyone is struggling with their weight, I really do understand."

"I know how difficult it is. It's always so much more than just what you eat - it has to do with your blood sugars, genetics, mental health etc. There's nothing to be scared of as long as you don't abuse it," the star reassured.
