Highlights from this day

protein_floor — i measured my waist and my walking pace during the plateau because both were still moving when the scale wasnt, your mileage will differ 23:20
non_scale_win — my mood dipped around week five and lifted by about week ten. i cannot tell you why either of those happened 23:24
non_scale_win — i told my family at month four rather than week one, and the timing is what made it go well 23:34
non_scale_win — the running out anxiety is real and worth naming. i keep a spare month in the fridge and i sleep better for it 23:46
yyz_vial — i asked one relative to stop commenting. it was awkward for a week and it was worth it 23:52

mood dipped hard around week 2, did that lift for anyone

my mood dipped around week five and lifted by about week ten. i cannot tell you why either of those happened

i am kinder to myself now than i was when i was heavier, and that is not because of the number

update from 11 months ago: the flatness lifted, slowly, and i did not have to change anything to make it

thank you for saying it

same at week 5

i told my family at month four rather than week one, and the timing is what made it go well

please talk to somebody

it is a loss as well as a relief and you are allowed to say both of those things

people keep commenting on my body and i hate it, how do you handle that

the running out anxiety is real and worth naming. i keep a spare month in the fridge and i sleep better for it

feeling more emotional generally came up for me too and i took that to my gp rather than to a channel

i asked one relative to stop commenting. it was awkward for a week and it was worth it

the shame eased when i stopped thinking of it as a shortcut and started thinking of it as treatment
