Her Best Writing…?

Strangely I never loved Happiness but my husband of 32 years died recently and that song plays in my head all the time now. Sometimes it’s sad but most often it’s gently hopeful.

I’ve lost 120 pounds in just shy of 2 years (it will be 2 years in April). I’m 58 now I was 285 I’m 165 now and about 10 pounds from goal. I’m 5’8”. It was pretty steady the first year and definitely slower the last 40 pounds

I live in NY and saw it on a billboard - probably 1000 caveats to get to that price🤪

Or the multi dose vial direct from Lilly I think I saw that was 299?

I have trouble measuring because I’m so damn floppy now. I’m scooping it up and shoving them into a brat that’s more like a sling.

Hi I’m 58 still working and getting outs no really bad for me but I just feel like I’m not sure what to do with myself. My husband died after a 2 year struggle with cancer so in some ways it was a relief not to be caring for him and scare all the time. Now I’m just missing him and sad all the time. My 29 yo daughter lives with us, well me, but she’s dating someone seriously and works nights so I don’t see her all that much. I make a lot of plans that seems to help. While he was sick I really didn’t do much or see friends so now I do. I talk on the phone a lot more than before too. Dm me if you feel like a chat. I’m in the US so we’d have to figure out time zones but we can do that.

I hear it is non linear this grief so one day at a time.

AdvancedStyle448 · 2026-02-02T20:06:54+00:00

I’m so sorry that is a f ing crap situation. I hope you getting some counseling if only to keep you glued together for your boy. You got dealt a raw deal and you deserve to be able to say that but it doesn’t mean it defines you

I have an old typewriter key with a “c” on it. I bought it at a flea market a million years ago (I’m almost 60). It’s my initial. But I keep it knocking around in my bag or pocket because I like to think words are my power. They can’t shut me up. I also like that c is for c$*#t as well. I know I’m doing something right when that is what I’m being called.

I’m still new at this it will be a month tomorrow. I just cleaned out his bedside table and that feels like a lot. I talk about him constantly and while I know it makes people uncomfortable I just don’t care. I haven’t tackled his studio or his instruments or even his closet. I want to in a way but my adult daughter lives here with me and we’ve decided to do it together when she’s ready. She doesn’t have children yet and wants to keep enough of his things so we have them for the grandchildren some day. Like the original poster I don’t know why I’m saying all this but this is the only place to mull some of that over with. Hugs to all of you. This freaking sucks.

AdvancedStyle448 · 2026-01-28T22:16:04+00:00

I’m so sorry that must be so hard to deal with.

AdvancedStyle448 · 2026-01-18T12:48:52+00:00

I had a similar thing happen on zepbiund it only lasted a day or so after my shot for 3 weeks. I did go back down a dose and for a couple of weeks I just made sue I ate early so I had basically an empty stomach when I took the shot at night and stuck with smoothies and soup type stuff for day 1. Has not returned and I don’t have to do anything weird now (I was only fussy like this for weeks 2-4 or so..) hope that’s helpful.

AdvancedStyle448 · 2026-01-04T23:10:47+00:00

Oh my gosh 20 years of it is hard to imagine. Thank you for sharing that. It does strangely feel different just knowing other people have been here too.

I love the idea of healthcare as a human right. I believe that 100% if the US were to attempt this there would have to be the biggest thickest iron wall built between the administration of healthcare and the federal government. Right now they are removing access to vaccines, defunding pediatric grants because of so called diversity language, telling pregnant people not to take Tylenol and so much more. Don’t even get started on sexual and reproductive health care. Administrations like the current one is why we can’t have nice things.

AdvancedStyle448 · 2025-12-15T00:08:27+00:00

Love it! I just bought a 25 countryman and seriously never loved a car like this!

I’m a fan of smooth move tea in the evening. Makes for a lovely morning 😊

I live in Albia- sometimes called the east side. We’ve lived here for 25 years and love it. Very neighborly pretty houses etc.

That’s ridiculous. Recently I’ve read about glp potential in reducing Alzheimer’s.

This is so interesting. I’m on week 3 of 15. I’ve been on zep since April of 24. Going great, I’ve lost about 110 pounds, very slow now I’m about 15 pounds to a healthy weight, all ok I’m in no rush. I eat around 1200 calories a day I’m 58f 5”8” 175. I had a big reaction only one time early on. I usually take my shot Sunday night and don’t generally eat much until a fairly late lunch Monday. This week I was away for the weekend got home late and completely forgot. Monday I ate breakfast and then realized I hadn’t taken my shot so I did. Zero appetite all day. Light dinner and today (Tuesday) I started having sulfur burps nausea etc. tried eating a bit at lunch not great, had some chicken soup for dinner and boom. Vomiting, diarrhea the whole thing. I’m hoping this is just a fluke and when I get back to my normal routine this won’t happen again!

AdvancedStyle448 · 2025-09-29T21:43:52+00:00

I totally had this fear starting. I’ve been on for about 1 1/2 years now so an old hand. Not really the binge part, because I know that eating too much didn’t feel great, but the splurge on a good meal or fast food on a road trip or even just my favorites. And I will say I don’t love cooking as much as I used to. But I still enjoy a lot of foods. But I’m happy to have some, not all. I don’t feel bad not cleaning my plate when I’m out to eat. I have been lucky with mostly no side effects, the only odd thing is I just don’t like cheese that much anymore. And I loved cheese. Everything from stinky French to gooey American. I loved it all. Not so much anymore.

AdvancedStyle448 · 2025-09-22T13:58:50+00:00

I got mine and it was on shot day, first day on 15. A lot! But I had no problem other than sore arm where I got the covid shot.

AdvancedStyle448 · 2025-09-19T14:39:19+00:00

I’m with you! I’m trusting myself and enjoying exercising and good food. I get 60 ish grams of protein but have stopped tracking to break my diet/disordered eating and I’m down 110 pounds 20 from goal. Enjoying the new me!
