coming back after 24 months to say thank you, is that alright to do in here

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

youre not alone in that

the identity part is the hardest thing about this and it gets talked about least, which is backwards

the escalation nerves got smaller each time for me but they never went away entirely

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

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

glad youre back

be kind to yourself

the plateau nearly ended it for me. what got me through was logging something other than my weight

does anyone talk to somebody professionally about this side of it

Reminder set. I will post here in 6 days.

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

quick one update from 16 months ago: the flatness lifted, slowly, and i did not have to change anything to make it, i could be wrong

were not clinicians

not the easy way

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

nobody says you took the easy way about a blood pressure tablet, and i keep that sentence ready for when i need it

the quiet is strange isnt it

please talk to somebody

it is a loss as well as a relief and you are allowed to say both of those things
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

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

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, ymmv

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