Verification log updated: GL Biochem — evidence added, status unchanged.
the disorienting bit for me was realising how much of my day had been spent thinking about the next meal
i built a whole personality around being the one who cooks and now i barely eat, does that pass

how do you handle a partner who is not pleased about you doing this
the quiet is strange isnt it
the shame eased when i stopped thinking of it as a shortcut and started thinking of it as treatment

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

anxious every time i go up a dose, is that a known thing or just me
the plateau nearly ended it for me. what got me through was logging something other than my weight
we are a chat channel. good company, not clinicians, and it matters that we keep saying so
feeling more emotional generally came up for me too and i took that to my gp rather than to a channel

how do you tell family youre on this without getting a lecture back
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
the running out anxiety is real and worth naming. i keep a spare month in the fridge and i sleep better for it
