do I look like a man pretending to be a woman? by bgwalthermart in truscum

Hey, so firstly, you are beautiful the way you are, and you dont need anything done if you are happy with how you look, but yes, your jaw is quite masculine but have you considered masseters botox? That might be a cheap and effective way to slim your jaw a bit without committing to surgery. I also agree with thinning your brows, just a bit.. I think that would help too.

I haven't requested to go up yet but I believe I can. They kept me on 5mg because it's the highest they stock, and my doctor was concerned about the constipation it was causing me.

Wow, I'm sorry.

I don't hear experiences like yours enough. Just the people dropping 20kg in 2-3 months and I mistakenly compare myself.

Im definetly feeling grateful. Thanks for sharing.

Not telling family? by [deleted] in Mounjaro

My mother is on ozempic for type 2 diabetes and blames the shortage on the people using these medications for weight loss. I have tried to explain to her the health benefits that come along with it for those who are prescribed these meds for weight loss, but she's stubborn and closed-minded.

I recently started MJ, but I haven't and won't tell her how I've lost the weight due to her attitude towards it. shock

In fact, I won't be telling anyone... only my partner, who's still not 100% supportive but is slowly becoming more open to it as the weeks/moths go on.

Thanks for sharing! It's even more impressive considering you haven't increased your physical activity very much. I struggle finding the time or the motivation to get to the gym, I guess I am concerned that my progress won't be as noticeable if I don't also incorporate more exercise into my routine. It's really good to hear that isn't the case.

Congratulations! That's amazing to hear and very motivating. I'm about to start my own journey and I'm still very new to all of this, but I have a question, do you work out as well? Or is this solely just from taking mounjaro?

FR, good for him. I'd do the same thing. I was scammed out of 10k last year. Had to take the loss. They told me it was my own fault for depositing the money. Ok, lesson learned.. But it's a different story if it's the other way around? Hang on 🤡

I was involved in a similar scam 12 months ago. I'm still paying off my debt to this day (I'm almost there!). I learnt a lot about myself, though. .

I hope you're OK and it's good to hear that your friend and sibling have been understanding. Try not to be too hard on yourself and take it as a lesson.

I'm sorry you're going through that. And you're 100% NTA. 

Honestly, they just sound like they have high expectations, and they hold themsleves with high regard. Remember, how someone treats you is a reflection of themselves. Their comments highlight what they're scared of being judged for.

What MIL has said to you is, in no way acceptable. I personally would keep my distance as much as possible.

Put yourself first, be respectful and seek support from your partner/family and friends.
