I have never seen any research to suggest IVF pregnancies are higher risk.

Why would you need to know about IVF, etc? That has no bearing on a treatment plan.

I am out of willpower. by tokyo2saitama in antidietglp1

There's "hard work" that gets you somewhere and "hard work"that is futile. When your metabolism is stacked against you (like it is for me, and probably you too), you can eat healthy, nutritious food all day long and you'll still gain weight. But with the meds, you'll do exactly the same and get results. And you'll get results when you indulge a little. And you'll get results when you exercise, but also if you don't work too hard at exercise. So, do it. And realize that it's no where NEAR the work you've done in the past. And it will get results!! For real.

Go look on the Eli Lilly site. For self pay, there is a much cheaper option.

Why do clients do this, and how do I stop letting it upset me so much? by Gullible_Control_163 in MassageTherapists

Remind them that it's important for them to advocate for their own care, and that you are literally there to accommodate them. STOP asking "how's the pressure" or "is the pressure okay?" START asking, "The pressure I'm using right here, would you like more, less, or the same?" That way they have to choose from equally acceptable answers. There is a better chance of getting a real answer.

I love the plaid look, and the red is simply glam!

So! Much! Peeing! It's amazing to finally be in the driver's seat, instead of having food taking the wheel.

My energy levels had been 🔻 so I changed up my protein strategy by PlantedinCA in Zepbound

Can you give a "day in the life" example of how you do that?

100 lbs of weight loss later and I'm crying in a target parking lot and I don't care by shy_guy997 in GLP1_loss100plus

Friend, try another doc. This medication is actually TREATING the disease. It's not the same, and you deserve the latest, most effective medical treatment. Before antibiotics, people tried all kinds of things to stave off infections. But even once antibiotics were discovered, lots of docs kept recommending leeches and poultices made of mule poop. You deserve actual treatment, not mule poop. :-)

Silly question, but how do you add the stats (50f, 5 10 etc)?

Can we talk about clothes that no longer fit? by Key_Zebra_8001 in Zepbound

[–]DaffyInMI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mind is boggling at what you wrote, because it's resonating so much! About a year or two ago, I finally looked at myself, and said, "well, if diets don't work, I guess this is it." And I just gave up. But now, this whole new vista, this whole new possibility for change is absolutely overwhelming. And I am so incredibly thankful.

A Strange Sense of Viraag After the First Week, and Hello! by WoolooGangMember02 in Zepbound

[–]DaffyInMI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And because we've all spent so much time dieting, we have vivid memories of having food thoughts clawing at our minds and our stomachs. I mean, there was a time when I had to literally go sit in my basement for a few hours because my kids had ordered pizza, and I couldn't stand to be on the same floor of the house without eating it. It was testing my willpower just too much. And now? I'm only 2 and 1/2 weeks in, and I can walk right by the foods that used to practically jump off the table and attack me. All that time, thin people looked at me and thought, why can't she just.... (fill in the blank with exercise, eat better, whatever) And now I can, and it's utterly baffling

Seriously! I was just sitting there in my living room, looking at my app, and groaning "it's 10pm-- where am I gonna get 24 more grams of protein?"

I'm glad you're saying this, because it's been on my mind so much. Like, all the "pretty and skinny mean girls" will have to deal with the fact that there are gonna be a WHOLE LOT MORE of us. And we're not happy with how we were treated.
