the food noise went completely quiet and i dont know what to do with the silence, is that normal
the running out anxiety is real and worth naming. i keep a spare month in the fridge and i sleep better for it
nobody in this room thinks less of you for needing a medication. genuinely nobody
anxious every time i go up a dose, is that a known thing or just me
the identity part is the hardest thing about this and it gets talked about least, which is backwards
it is a loss as well as a relief and you are allowed to say both of those things, not advice obviously
how did people get through a long plateau without giving up entirely
comments about my body were harder to take than any side effect and nobody warns you about it
motivation has collapsed since the scale stopped moving, has anyone been here
i see somebody professionally about the eating side of this and it is the best money i have spent on any of it
i came back at month 16 to say thank you and got a much warmer response than i expected
i measured my waist and my walking pace during the plateau because both were still moving when the scale wasnt
i asked one relative to stop commenting. it was awkward for a week and it was worth it
update on the earlier thing im at month 10 and doing well and feel strangely sad about it, is that a thing
does the quiet in your head ever feel like a loss rather than a relief
nobody says you took the easy way about a blood pressure tablet, and i keep that sentence ready for when i need it
how do you tell family youre on this without getting a lecture back
mood dipped hard around week 7, did that lift for anyone
has anyone found a way to celebrate that isnt about a number
please talk to somebody
