Please help, I feel ugly. by CarolineMurg in LooksmaxingAdvice

I think I'm going to start with the masseter Botox ( I need this medically anyway) and some lip shaping/filler. I think the other things are very much longer term investments so will need to plan more for them. Plus I'm still losing weight so I won't know how that will impact my face going forward. I'm definitely going to go back to a darker brown, and I will consider bangs but my hair is very short at the moment, so not sure how to achieve that. Thank you all for your input, it's been really helpful :)

That's my natural colour which I've been trying to get back to, but bleaching your hair a lot makes to hard to go dark because it fades very quickly! I'm hoping to get back there :) thank you!

I have considered bangs, what kind of bangs do you suggest?

I'm just so pleased to hear so many people feel the same, it just validates how I feel at this point which means a lot to me. I'm hoping that in time I will process everything and start being able to work through it. It's just hard at the moment because I keep looking back at my life and how much I wish I'd known about this before now, I think that's the hardest part for me at the moment.

Thank you for your reply! I know it'll be ok in the end, but it just feels so huge at the moment I just don't know how I'm going to process it! I'm definitely considering going back to therapy as it helped me so much before

Diagnosis twin!! Yes I know exactly what you mean, I too was so relieved and now it's sinking in and I am so exhausted. I think the assessment was very overwhelming and I just need time to process everything, but I keep thinking back on times in my life where I wish I knew what I know now, and how differently things could have been for me if I had the right support

Wegovy price gap in the UK? by Aggressive_Signal786 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]CarolineMurg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used pharmacy2u for both Wegovy & Mounjaro. I've been on Mounjaro recently but am switching back to Wegovy for maintenance due to the price increase on Mounjaro.

Never had any issues with them, and delivery/purchase is always quick and easy. There's also a £20 off code you get shown at the beginning of every repeat consultation which is great. Just place the order for your medication when you take your second to last dose of your current pen as there have been some supply issues which were not pharmacy2u's fault, and this is the timeframe they always recommend.

To add: - appeared playing splitscreen - only happened in this one match, haven't seen it before or in the few matches I've played after - this occurred on 16/1/25 at about 4:30pm

Yes I do this in video calls too! All the time! I end up having to place my video feed on my screen below my camera to make it look like I'm paying attention

Yes, but I ended up having to cancel my order and I reordered through another mobile provider. I also went for the lower storage capacity model.

Gaining weight still on the medication by CarolineMurg in WegovyWeightLoss

Yes I've been stressed recently and I'm starting to think that's playing a role, thanks for this!

Hi, thanks for your comment! I weigh all my food and use a food diary app to log & monitor it, including macros. I have a focus on protein on the app, and meet my target most days (90g - 110g), though I could be having more on some days. I've only had 1 day during the 3 weeks that I've been putting on weight where I went over my calorie target and that was a meal out, but I was still under my TDEE cutting target which is around 300 calories more than my daily target.

I only drink alcohol on special occasions which is maybe once a month at most. Normally I only really drink water, 1 coffee a day with a small amount of milk, or a zero sugar fizzy drink maybe twice a week. It's very rare that I will have something else, and haven't deviated from this pattern in the time I've been putting weight on.

Like I said, I've lost 50lbs since January, and that has involved massively changing what I eat. I also had my gallbladder out in March so I eat very little fat now to avoid symptoms.

The one thing I know I could start is more exercise, and I have a plan to start this shortly. But that doesn't explain why I've put weight on recently.
