sorry to jump in i asked one relative to stop commenting. it was awkward for a week and it was worth it

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

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

hold on if you can

genuine question people keep commenting on my body and i hate it, how do you handle that

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

feeling more emotional generally came up for me too and i took that to my gp rather than to a channel

motivation has collapsed since the scale stopped moving, has anyone been here
the plateau nearly ended it for me. what got me through was logging something other than my weight

i came back at month 20 to say thank you and got a much warmer response than i expected, someone check my working

if all you managed today was the dose and some water, that counts and i mean that, thats just me

i am kinder to myself now than i was when i was heavier, and that is not because of the number

the fraud feeling faded for me somewhere around the point i had kept it off longer than i took to lose it, your mileage will differ

On this day 8 years ago this channel logged 123 messages.

that was me too

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

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

genuine question we are a chat channel. good company, not clinicians, and it matters that we keep saying so
the plateau nearly ended it for me. what got me through was logging something other than my weight

were not clinicians

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
my partner was not pleased at first and came round. what changed it was my blood pressure, not any argument i made

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

somebody said the easy way thing to me and i just said it was not easy and changed the subject. it worked fine

is anyone else more anxious about running out than about any side effect

thank you for saying it

somebody thanked me a year later for something i barely remember saying, and that is why i still read this every day, not advice obviously

sorry to jump in you are not the only person in here who has felt that, and i say that as somebody who was certain they were
