the plateau nearly ended it for me. what got me through was logging something other than my weight

Highlights from this day
- VialBot — Reminder for lot_number_lou: dose day is today. Set 9 days ago. 21:00
- lot_number_lou — quick one the shame eased when i stopped thinking of it as a shortcut and started thinking of it as treatment 21:09
- a1c_lag — flat is the word i used too. not sad exactly, just less colour in things for a while, take that with a pinch of salt 21:12
- eat_more_please — my mood dipped around week five and lifted by about week ten. i cannot tell you why either of those happened, ask me again in a month 21:41
- thank_you_year_on — i see somebody professionally about the eating side of this and it is the best money i have spent on any of it 22:09
im ashamed of needing a medication for this and i cant seem to shake it
hold on if you can. week three is not the whole experience and a lot of us nearly stopped right there
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
i built a whole personality around being the one who cooks and now i barely eat, does that pass

i asked one relative to stop commenting. it was awkward for a week and it was worth it
coming back after 15 months to say thank you, is that alright to do in here
people keep commenting on my body and i hate it, how do you handle that
my relationship with eating was the thing i managed and now i dont know what im managing
the disorienting bit for me was realising how much of my day had been spent thinking about the next meal
my mood dipped around week five and lifted by about week ten. i cannot tell you why either of those happened, ask me again in a month

while im here has anyone else felt oddly flat since the appetite went
please talk to somebody
how do you handle a partner who is not pleased about you doing this
i feel like a fraud reading the wins channel, does that go away
i see somebody professionally about the eating side of this and it is the best money i have spent on any of it

glad youre back
that was me too
[edited]update from 10 months ago: the flatness lifted, slowly, and i did not have to change anything to make it
did anyone else grieve food a bit
genuine question did the flatness lift on its own or did people have to do something about it
were not clinicians
same at week 5
