youre not alone in that

the dose escalation nerves, does anyone have a routine that helps with them
how do you handle a partner who is not pleased about you doing this

i cook more now than i used to, i just eat less of it, and that compromise saved that part of me
mood dipped hard around week 28, did that lift for anyone
sorry to jump in the shame eased when i stopped thinking of it as a shortcut and started thinking of it as treatment

nobody says you took the easy way about a blood pressure tablet, and i keep that sentence ready for when i need it
the fraud feeling faded for me somewhere around the point i had kept it off longer than i took to lose it
i feel like a fraud reading the wins channel, does that go away

i spent twenty years negotiating with myself about food and then the negotiation just stopped, and that took months to sit with
the running out anxiety is real and worth naming. i keep a spare month in the fridge and i sleep better for it
were not clinicians
im at month 3 and doing well and feel strangely sad about it, is that a thing
update on the earlier thing how did people get through a long plateau without giving up entirely
did the flatness lift on its own or did people have to do something about it
somebody thanked me a year later for something i barely remember saying, and that is why i still read this every day
how do you tell family youre on this without getting a lecture back
same at week 5

hold on if you can
i am kinder to myself now than i was when i was heavier, and that is not because of the number
somebody said the easy way thing to me and i just said it was not easy and changed the subject. it worked fine
follow up grieving food is real. it was my hobby, my comfort and about half of my social life
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
i measured my waist and my walking pace during the plateau because both were still moving when the scale wasnt
does anyone talk to somebody professionally about this side of it
that counts
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, ask me again in a month
nobody in this room thinks less of you for needing a medication. genuinely nobody
update on the earlier thing feeling more emotional generally came up for me too and i took that to my gp rather than to a channel
unrelated but i keep waiting for it to stop working and the waiting itself is exhausting
update from 22 months ago: the flatness lifted, slowly, and i did not have to change anything to make it
coming back to this the escalation nerves got smaller each time for me but they never went away entirely
i see somebody professionally about the eating side of this and it is the best money i have spent on any of it
update from 9 months ago: the flatness lifted, slowly, and i did not have to change anything to make it
