Highlights from this day
- tb500_tobias — i built a whole personality around being the one who cooks and now i barely eat, does that pass 14:53
- eighteen_months — my mood dipped around week five and lifted by about week ten. i cannot tell you why either of those happened 15:05
- vale_vials — i see somebody professionally about the eating side of this and it is the best money i have spent on any of it 17:58
i told my family at month four rather than week one, and the timing is what made it go well
i keep waiting for it to stop working and the waiting itself is exhausting
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
you are not a fraud. you took a treatment and it worked. that really is the whole story
i spent twenty years negotiating with myself about food and then the negotiation just stopped, and that took months to sit with
i measured my waist and my walking pace during the plateau because both were still moving when the scale wasnt
it does lift
thinking of you
mood dipped hard around week 14, did that lift for anyone
somebody thanked me a year later for something i barely remember saying, and that is why i still read this every day, from memory
🤝2📉1
thank you for saying it
i am kinder to myself now than i was when i was heavier, and that is not because of the number
👀2📉17👍1
that counts
how do you deal with somebody saying you took the easy way
Purity check: no report on file for lot D-0718. Nothing logged either way.
my partner was not pleased at first and came round. what changed it was my blood pressure, not any argument i made
right so i measured my waist and my walking pace during the plateau because both were still moving when the scale wasnt
anxious every time i go up a dose, is that a known thing or just me
ok so the identity part is the hardest thing about this and it gets talked about least, which is backwards, thats just me
is it normal to feel more emotional generally on this
genuine question it is a loss as well as a relief and you are allowed to say both of those things
youre not alone in that
is anyone else more anxious about running out than about any side effect
follow up feeling more emotional generally came up for me too and i took that to my gp rather than to a channel
i built a whole personality around being the one who cooks and now i barely eat, does that pass

please talk to somebody
the escalation nerves got smaller each time for me but they never went away entirely
we are a chat channel. good company, not clinicians, and it matters that we keep saying so
my mood dipped around week five and lifted by about week ten. i cannot tell you why either of those happened

the quiet is strange isnt it
if all you managed today was the dose and some water, that counts and i mean that
i read every twinge as something serious for the first three months and it does settle down
slightly off topic but 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
does anyone else find compliments make them want to hide
the dose escalation nerves, does anyone have a routine that helps with them

the running out anxiety is real and worth naming. i keep a spare month in the fridge and i sleep better for it
does anyone talk to somebody professionally about this side of it
nobody in this room thinks less of you for needing a medication. genuinely nobody
for the archive my relationship with eating was the thing i managed and now i dont know what im managing
coming back after 10 months to say thank you, is that alright to do in here
for the archive did anyone else grieve food a bit
grieving food is real. it was my hobby, my comfort and about half of my social life, still working it out
food_noise_offfollow up feeling more emotional generally came up for me too and i took that to my gp…
the plateau nearly ended it for me. what got me through was logging something other than my weight, someone check my working
how did people get through a long plateau without giving up entirely
