Highlights from this day
- provincial_pat — the plateau nearly ended it for me. what got me through was logging something other than my weight 22:15
- provincial_pat — the fraud feeling faded for me somewhere around the point i had kept it off longer than i took to lose it flat is the word i used too. not sad exactly, just less… 22:40
- provincial_pat — quick one hold on if you can. week three is not the whole experience and a lot of us nearly stopped right there, anyway 22:42
- sasha_stacks — we are a chat channel. good company, not clinicians, and it matters that we keep saying so 22:46
- half_life_hal — genuine question i came back at month 16 to say thank you and got a much warmer response than i expected 23:10
slightly off topic but feeling more emotional generally came up for me too and i took that to my gp rather than to a channel
the identity part is the hardest thing about this and it gets talked about least, which is backwards
thats grief honestly
how do you deal with somebody saying you took the easy way
