the quiet is strange isnt it
my relationship with eating was the thing i managed and now i dont know what im managing

youre not alone in that
did the flatness lift on its own or did people have to do something about it
🔥14😂9🤝1
the shame eased when i stopped thinking of it as a shortcut and started thinking of it as treatment
im at month 22 and doing well and feel strangely sad about it, is that a thing
flat is the word i used too. not sad exactly, just less colour in things for a while
it does lift
feeling more emotional generally came up for me too and i took that to my gp rather than to a channel
update on the earlier thing is it normal to feel more emotional generally on this
i asked one relative to stop commenting. it was awkward for a week and it was worth it
thinking of you
comments about my body were harder to take than any side effect and nobody warns you about it
be kind to yourself
🙏1📉17
that counts
you are not the only person in here who has felt that, and i say that as somebody who was certain they were
i spent twenty years negotiating with myself about food and then the negotiation just stopped, and that took months to sit with
how do you stop reading every twinge as something serious
[edited]im ashamed of needing a medication for this and i cant seem to shake it

i see somebody professionally about the eating side of this and it is the best money i have spent on any of it
you are not the only person in here who has felt that, and i say that as somebody who was certain they were
while im here update from 8 months ago: the flatness lifted, slowly, and i did not have to change anything to make it
we are a chat channel. good company, not clinicians, and it matters that we keep saying so
how do you handle a partner who is not pleased about you doing this
i am kinder to myself now than i was when i was heavier, and that is not because of the number
i came back at month 1 to say thank you and got a much warmer response than i expected
