how do you stop reading every twinge as something serious
unrelated but feeling more emotional generally came up for me too and i took that to my gp rather than to a channel
i read every twinge as something serious for the first three months and it does settle down
did the flatness lift on its own or did people have to do something about it
the shame eased when i stopped thinking of it as a shortcut and started thinking of it as treatment, anyway

*week 18 not week 3
the dose escalation nerves, does anyone have a routine that helps with them
how did people get through a long plateau without giving up entirely
somebody thanked me a year later for something i barely remember saying, and that is why i still read this every day
i spent twenty years negotiating with myself about food and then the negotiation just stopped, and that took months to sit with
please talk to somebody

thinking of you
slightly off topic but nobody in this room thinks less of you for needing a medication. genuinely nobody
the disorienting bit for me was realising how much of my day had been spent thinking about the next meal
im at month 18 and doing well and feel strangely sad about it, is that a thing
people keep commenting on my body and i hate it, how do you handle that

the plateau nearly ended it for me. what got me through was logging something other than my weight
same at week 5

somebody said the easy way thing to me and i just said it was not easy and changed the subject. it worked fine, anyway
my partner was not pleased at first and came round. what changed it was my blood pressure, not any argument i made
how do you deal with somebody saying you took the easy way
hold on if you can. week three is not the whole experience and a lot of us nearly stopped right there
youre not a fraud

anxious every time i go up a dose, is that a known thing or just me
i keep waiting for it to stop working and the waiting itself is exhausting

how do you handle a partner who is not pleased about you doing this
has anyone else felt oddly flat since the appetite went
coming back after 19 months to say thank you, is that alright to do in here
the food noise went completely quiet and i dont know what to do with the silence, is that normal
i feel like a fraud reading the wins channel, does that go away
