please talk to somebody

i see somebody professionally about the eating side of this and it is the best money i have spent on any of it, thats one data point

has anyone else felt oddly flat since the appetite went

you are not a fraud. you took a treatment and it worked. that really is the whole story

i came back at month 18 to say thank you and got a much warmer response than i expected, someone check my working

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

grieving food is real. it was my hobby, my comfort and about half of my social life

the running out anxiety is real and worth naming. i keep a spare month in the fridge and i sleep better for it

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

my mood dipped around week five and lifted by about week ten. i cannot tell you why either of those happened

youre not alone in that
