Highlights from this day
- bpc_sceptic — right so update from 24 months ago: the flatness lifted, slowly, and i did not have to change anything to make it 19:41
- quiet_head_qi — my mood dipped around week five and lifted by about week ten. i cannot tell you why either of those happened, from memory 19:42
- bpc_sceptic — nobody says you took the easy way about a blood pressure tablet, and i keep that sentence ready for when i need it 19:46
- quiet_head_qi — you are not the only person in here who has felt that, and i say that as somebody who was certain they were 20:12
- bpc_sceptic — somebody said the easy way thing to me and i just said it was not easy and changed the subject. it worked fine 20:51
the dose escalation nerves, does anyone have a routine that helps with them
be kind to yourself
how did people get through a long plateau without giving up entirely
how do you handle a partner who is not pleased about you doing this
grieving food is real. it was my hobby, my comfort and about half of my social life
the plateau nearly ended it for me. what got me through was logging something other than my weight
that counts
does anyone talk to somebody professionally about this side of it
youre not a fraud
i keep waiting for it to stop working and the waiting itself is exhausting

did the flatness lift on its own or did people have to do something about it
nobody says you took the easy way about a blood pressure tablet, and i keep that sentence ready for when i need it
has anyone found a way to celebrate that isnt about a number
you are not the only person in here who has felt that, and i say that as somebody who was certain they were

*that should say weekly
the escalation nerves got smaller each time for me but they never went away entirely, anyway
people keep commenting on my body and i hate it, how do you handle that
it does lift
somebody said the easy way thing to me and i just said it was not easy and changed the subject. it worked fine
please talk to somebody
i read every twinge as something serious for the first three months and it does settle down
that was me too
the quiet is strange isnt it
