i feel like a fraud reading the wins channel, does that go away

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

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

i keep waiting for it to stop working and the waiting itself is exhausting

be kind to yourself

did anyone else grieve food a bit

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

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

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

the shame eased when i stopped thinking of it as a shortcut and started thinking of it as treatment

coming back to this nobody in this room thinks less of you for needing a medication. genuinely nobody

for the archive the plateau nearly ended it for me. what got me through was logging something other than my weight

the escalation nerves got smaller each time for me but they never went away entirely, ymmv

Recon calculator: 30mg in 3ml = 4mg/ml.

i spent twenty years negotiating with myself about food and then the negotiation just stopped, and that took months to sit with

thank you for saying it

Channel stats, last 30 days: 115 messages from 28 members.

youre not alone in that

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

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

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

did the flatness lift on its own or did people have to do something about it

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

it does lift

that was me too

the quiet is strange isnt it

unrelated but nobody says you took the easy way about a blood pressure tablet, and i keep that sentence ready for when i need it, anyway

Inter-lab diff for lot KP-0925: 97.4% vs 98.1%. Within expected range.

is it normal to feel more emotional generally on this

quick one i told my family at month four rather than week one, and the timing is what made it go well, not advice obviously

mood dipped hard around week 32, did that lift for anyone

does anyone else find compliments make them want to hide

youre not a fraud

thats grief honestly

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

motivation has collapsed since the scale stopped moving, has anyone been here

i spent twenty years negotiating with myself about food and then the negotiation just stopped, and that took months to sit with

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

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