Highlights from this day

power_through_no — i measured my waist and my walking pace during the plateau because both were still moving when the scale wasnt 14:17
net_peptide — the fraud feeling faded for me somewhere around the point i had kept it off longer than i took to lose it, ill dig out the number 14:32
relabel_watch — motivation has collapsed since the scale stopped moving, has anyone been here 14:36
seven_five_sweet — somebody thanked me a year later for something i barely remember saying, and that is why i still read this every day 15:40
relabel_watch — the food noise going quiet is the thing people are least prepared for. i sat in the kitchen at 8pm not knowing what i was for 16:37

i get anxious the night before a dose increase, so i take it in the morning now and sleep first

does the quiet in your head ever feel like a loss rather than a relief

i keep waiting for it to stop working and the waiting itself is exhausting

the identity part is the hardest thing about this and it gets talked about least, which is backwards

same at week 5

that counts

thats grief honestly

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

motivation has collapsed since the scale stopped moving, has anyone been here

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

anxious every time i go up a dose, is that a known thing or just me

comments about my body were harder to take than any side effect and nobody warns you about it

somebody thanked me a year later for something i barely remember saying, and that is why i still read this every day

how do you deal with somebody saying you took the easy way

the food noise going quiet is the thing people are least prepared for. i sat in the kitchen at 8pm not knowing what i was for

youre not alone in that

grieving food is real. it was my hobby, my comfort and about half of my social life

[edited]

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

flat is the word i used too. not sad exactly, just less colour in things for a while
