Highlights from this day
- third_shift — the fraud feeling faded for me somewhere around the point i had kept it off longer than i took to lose it 14:29
- subq_sy — comments about my body were harder to take than any side effect and nobody warns you about it i told my family at month four rather than week one, and the timing is… 15:00
- drawup_dee — slightly off topic but the shame eased when i stopped thinking of it as a shortcut and started thinking of it as treatment 15:36
i read every twinge as something serious for the first three months and it does settle down, anyway
*PeptideMeter not the other one
that was me too
i keep waiting for it to stop working and the waiting itself is exhausting
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

mood dipped hard around week 24, did that lift for anyone
the quiet is strange isnt it
the escalation nerves got smaller each time for me but they never went away entirely
motivation has collapsed since the scale stopped moving, has anyone been here
comments about my body were harder to take than any side effect and nobody warns you about it
i told my family at month four rather than week one, and the timing is what made it go well

people keep commenting on my body and i hate it, how do you handle that
update on the earlier thing the identity part is the hardest thing about this and it gets talked about least, which is backwards
were not clinicians
that counts
sorry to jump in i get anxious the night before a dose increase, so i take it in the morning now and sleep first
the plateau nearly ended it for me. what got me through was logging something other than my weight
how do you tell family youre on this without getting a lecture back
my relationship with eating was the thing i managed and now i dont know what im managing
somebody said the easy way thing to me and i just said it was not easy and changed the subject. it worked fine
slightly off topic but the shame eased when i stopped thinking of it as a shortcut and started thinking of it as treatment
🎉13
anxious every time i go up a dose, is that a known thing or just me
glad youre back

i built a whole personality around being the one who cooks and now i barely eat, does that pass
how do you deal with somebody saying you took the easy way
i see somebody professionally about the eating side of this and it is the best money i have spent on any of it
i measured my waist and my walking pace during the plateau because both were still moving when the scale wasnt
the running out anxiety is real and worth naming. i keep a spare month in the fridge and i sleep better for it
