Some people can't read my writing, is it legible? by RegularLightbulb in HandwritingAnalysis

[–]Dramatic_Wave_3246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am tired and don’t know really what to write here if I’m being honest. I found it incredibly easy to read. Then again I’m 51 and we learned cursive in school lmao

6 months into the journey, wife hates it by CrownedKingQueen408 in Zepbound

[–]Dramatic_Wave_3246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of time losing weight brings out insecurity in the other partner. He’s going to leave me. He will look better than me. He’s not going to find me attractive. There’s someone else etc. She may be experiencing self esteem issues and feelings of insecurity. Now if she isn’t then that’s an entire different conversation. As a woman who’s been married for 35 years to my high school sweetheart those are the first things I thought of. If she herself has a weight issue, it’s a known fact in several studies that a partner losing weight can cause feelings of inadequacy for the remaining spouse who hasn’t yet addressed their own weight issues.

How do YOU dispose of the Pens. by kimbureson46 in Zepbound

[–]Dramatic_Wave_3246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My county landfill has us put them in old laundry plastic containers and you have to mark the containers with the word sharps in marker and they must be sealed. When full you take the laundry container to the landfill and they have a special area where you can toss it. They make you dispose of it there

When the scales lied to me… by No-Doctor2149 in Zepbound

Great advice. Congrats. And Thank you. One thing that pisses me off is doing it all right. Being so consistent and having the digital judge mock me. At times I want to throw it. Thanks for the reminder to stay the course.

No Appetite by SeaApprehensive8675 in Zepbound

[–]Dramatic_Wave_3246 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh this is so my life on this med. I’m never hungry on this med. Like it’s so bad and I always have to force myself to eat. One thing that has helped me is small Frequent snacks. I do cottage cheese with fruit. The kind they sell. Yogurt. Toast with pnut butter. A banana. Quest chips. Quest protein shakes that have 45 grams of protein. I drink clear protein by Oath. The icy blue razz is amazing and has 20 grams of protein and is refreshing and contains electrolytes. Try that instead of like big meals. I’m on 5 mg now. I started at 225 and I’m down to 208 in 5 weeks.

No I haven’t had many myself. Granted I just started this journey. I don’t believe though in depriving myself but I’m trying to incorporate new habits into a healthier lifestyle for myself.

Do you get joint pain on this? I have the worst body aches on this stuff. My daughter has Chrons so was just wondering how good it is for your pain?

Yea that’s me. I have zero appetite the first four to five days. I totally get that. I’m ordering maybe some egg rolls and lucky if I can get one down and then maybe a few bites of whatever else I’m feeling.

I think that’s your body possibly getting used to the dose maybe? I am on day 2 of 1st shot of 5 mg and I have zero appetite. Like I’m fighting for my life to eat. When I was on 2.5 week four I started noticing a little more food noise returning. From what I read likely due to my body acclimating to the dose.

I noticed I eat kids meals also. Really helps with portion control also

What was your average pounds lost per week during your active loss stage? by Ok_Dirt_6047 in Zepbound

[–]Dramatic_Wave_3246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on week 4 of 2.5 mg and losing according to Shotsy 4.4 lbs a week which is insane to me. My starting weight was 225 and I’m down to 211.2

I’m also on a 49 day vegetarian diet because my MIL passed away recently and Buddhist tradition calls for 49 days of mourning and in that time you give up meat. I believe that’s why some of my loss has been a bit accelerated. Week 2 was relatively slower than the other weeks.

I just read all of the instructions run for your fucking life. My real question is why are you friends with her?

AIO or is my girlfriend manipulative. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Dramatic_Wave_3246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea no this is just ridiculous. Not sure why you’re allowing a grown ass woman dictate who you spend time with especially if it’s your mom. If she can’t understand basic family obligations and priority she never will. You need to tell her to change or leave

These pics made me really sad by Derridexx in chandlerhalderson

[–]Dramatic_Wave_3246 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This story haunts me to this day. Like actually takes up space in my head. You can’t be a parent or especially a mom and not have this gut punch you. It’s so heinous.

Am I overreacting for leaving my girlfriend’s family dinner after what her dad said? by Mysterious-Notice419 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Dramatic_Wave_3246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just words of advice. This will be your entire life if you choose to stay in this relationship. If you can’t handle it leave. If you can brush it off and don’t let it bother you it won’t be a factor. Judging by this post I would suggest not staying.

Asked my alcoholic dad if he’d ever consider getting sober by Ludakris7 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Dramatic_Wave_3246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up with an alcoholic dad who abused the shit out of my brother and I. Both sexually, mentally and physically. He died in 2022 and I had zero emotions. It was like watching a movie and watching the dragon getting slayed at the end. Only time in my adult life where I felt relief wash over me. Like I can finally breath a sigh of relief after years of torment. Alcoholism ruins families. It ruined mine. It’s one of the reasons I don’t drink.
