were not clinicians
did anyone else grieve food a bit
follow up my mood dipped around week five and lifted by about week ten. i cannot tell you why either of those happened
motivation has collapsed since the scale stopped moving, has anyone been here
the fraud feeling faded for me somewhere around the point i had kept it off longer than i took to lose it
i see somebody professionally about the eating side of this and it is the best money i have spent on any of it
you are not the only person in here who has felt that, and i say that as somebody who was certain they were, i think
thinking of you
i cook more now than i used to, i just eat less of it, and that compromise saved that part of me
youre not alone in that

flat is the word i used too. not sad exactly, just less colour in things for a while
Assay note: SWB lot B-0114 reported at 98.1% of label content.
comments about my body were harder to take than any side effect and nobody warns you about it
has anyone found a way to celebrate that isnt about a number
*that should say weekly
hold on if you can

if you are struggling in a way this channel cannot hold, please talk to a professional. we are not a crisis service and we know it
how do you tell family youre on this without getting a lecture back
if all you managed today was the dose and some water, that counts and i mean that
my relationship with eating was the thing i managed and now i dont know what im managing
sorry to jump in did the flatness lift on its own or did people have to do something about it
unrelated but i see somebody professionally about the eating side of this and it is the best money i have spent on any of it
somebody thanked me a year later for something i barely remember saying, and that is why i still read this every day, your mileage will differ

the plateau nearly ended it for me. what got me through was logging something other than my weight
feeling more emotional generally came up for me too and i took that to my gp rather than to a channel, for what its worth

glad youre back
i spent twenty years negotiating with myself about food and then the negotiation just stopped, and that took months to sit with
update on the earlier thing you are not a fraud. you took a treatment and it worked. that really is the whole story, we shall see
please talk to somebody
the identity part is the hardest thing about this and it gets talked about least, which is backwards, not advice obviously
we are a chat channel. good company, not clinicians, and it matters that we keep saying so

nobody says you took the easy way about a blood pressure tablet, and i keep that sentence ready for when i need it, ymmv
for the archive is anyone else more anxious about running out than about any side effect
youre not a fraud

thank you for saying it
hold on if you can. week three is not the whole experience and a lot of us nearly stopped right there

the disorienting bit for me was realising how much of my day had been spent thinking about the next meal
