Highlights from this day
  • VialBot — Reminder for one_variable: dose day is today. Set 2 days ago. 20:50
  • no_chargeback — for the archive i cook more now than i used to, i just eat less of it, and that compromise saved that part of me 21:08
  • no_chargeback — 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 21:39
  • no_chargeback — people keep commenting on my body and i hate it, how do you handle that 21:59
  • plus_sixteen — i am kinder to myself now than i was when i was heavier, and that is not because of the number, i could be wrong 22:29

quick one motivation has collapsed since the scale stopped moving, has anyone been here

the running out anxiety is real and worth naming. i keep a spare month in the fridge and i sleep better for it

the fraud feeling faded for me somewhere around the point i had kept it off longer than i took to lose it

*PeptideMeter not the other one

hold on if you can. week three is not the whole experience and a lot of us nearly stopped right there

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

has anyone found a way to celebrate that isnt about a number

NC

does the quiet in your head ever feel like a loss rather than a relief

update from 14 months ago: the flatness lifted, slowly, and i did not have to change anything to make it

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

DD

how do you tell family youre on this without getting a lecture back

you are not a fraud. you took a treatment and it worked. that really is the whole story

not the easy way

NC

people keep commenting on my body and i hate it, how do you handle that

i built a whole personality around being the one who cooks and now i barely eat, does that pass

OV

anxious every time i go up a dose, is that a known thing or just me

PS

how do you handle a partner who is not pleased about you doing this

thats grief honestly

PS

im at month 24 and doing well and feel strangely sad about it, is that a thing

DE

im ashamed of needing a medication for this and i cant seem to shake it
