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
the disorienting bit for me was realising how much of my day had been spent thinking about the next meal
the shame eased when i stopped thinking of it as a shortcut and started thinking of it as treatment, someone check my working
you are not a fraud. you took a treatment and it worked. that really is the whole story
is it normal to feel more emotional generally on this
the identity part is the hardest thing about this and it gets talked about least, which is backwards
i measured my waist and my walking pace during the plateau because both were still moving when the scale wasnt, not advice obviously
same at week 5
glad youre back

how do you deal with somebody saying you took the easy way
somebody said the easy way thing to me and i just said it was not easy and changed the subject. it worked fine
my relationship with eating was the thing i managed and now i dont know what im managing
coming back to this mood dipped hard around week 3, did that lift for anyone
thank you for saying it

people keep commenting on my body and i hate it, how do you handle that
[edited]i spent twenty years negotiating with myself about food and then the negotiation just stopped, and that took months to sit with
coming back after 1 months to say thank you, is that alright to do in here
i feel like a fraud reading the wins channel, does that go away
thinking of you
i see somebody professionally about the eating side of this and it is the best money i have spent on any of it
the food noise went completely quiet and i dont know what to do with the silence, is that normal
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
the fraud feeling faded for me somewhere around the point i had kept it off longer than i took to lose it
it does lift
the dose escalation nerves, does anyone have a routine that helps with them
slightly off topic but grieving food is real. it was my hobby, my comfort and about half of my social life
please talk to somebody
is anyone else more anxious about running out than about any side effect
somebody thanked me a year later for something i barely remember saying, and that is why i still read this every day
*that should say weekly
be kind to yourself
Reminder set. I will post here in 6 days.

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