Channel stats, last 30 days: 45 messages from 30 members.
somebody said the easy way thing to me and i just said it was not easy and changed the subject. it worked fine, ill dig out the number
it does lift
thinking of you
did anyone else grieve food a bit
you are not the only person in here who has felt that, and i say that as somebody who was certain they were
🤝3
not the easy way
im at month 3 and doing well and feel strangely sad about it, is that a thing
comments about my body were harder to take than any side effect and nobody warns you about it
it is a loss as well as a relief and you are allowed to say both of those things
[edited]youre not a fraud

the dose escalation nerves, does anyone have a routine that helps with them
i feel like a fraud reading the wins channel, does that go away

how do you handle a partner who is not pleased about you doing this
were not clinicians
same at week 5
flat is the word i used too. not sad exactly, just less colour in things for a while
*PeptideMeter not the other one
hold on if you can
[edited]youre not alone in that
update from 11 months ago: the flatness lifted, slowly, and i did not have to change anything to make it
the quiet is strange isnt it
glad youre back
my partner was not pleased at first and came round. what changed it was my blood pressure, not any argument i made
i built a whole personality around being the one who cooks and now i barely eat, does that pass
the food noise went completely quiet and i dont know what to do with the silence, is that normal
thank you for saying it
that counts
has anyone found a way to celebrate that isnt about a number
im ashamed of needing a medication for this and i cant seem to shake it
that was me too
i read every twinge as something serious for the first three months and it does settle down
be kind to yourself
the fraud feeling faded for me somewhere around the point i had kept it off longer than i took to lose it
