feeling more emotional generally came up for me too and i took that to my gp rather than to a channel
thats grief honestly
i read every twinge as something serious for the first three months and it does settle down
glad youre back
how did people get through a long plateau without giving up entirely
i measured my waist and my walking pace during the plateau because both were still moving when the scale wasnt
has anyone found a way to celebrate that isnt about a number
how do you deal with somebody saying you took the easy way
anxious every time i go up a dose, is that a known thing or just me
my relationship with eating was the thing i managed and now i dont know what im managing
people keep commenting on my body and i hate it, how do you handle that
i asked one relative to stop commenting. it was awkward for a week and it was worth it
somebody thanked me a year later for something i barely remember saying, and that is why i still read this every day
im at month 16 and doing well and feel strangely sad about it, is that a thing

were not clinicians
flat is the word i used too. not sad exactly, just less colour in things for a while
does anyone talk to somebody professionally about this side of it
nobody says you took the easy way about a blood pressure tablet, and i keep that sentence ready for when i need it, ill dig out the number

my partner was not pleased at first and came round. what changed it was my blood pressure, not any argument i made
thank you for saying it
