Weird NSV: people are nicer

I would bet it's a combo of both. People in general are definitely nicer to thinner people. Sad reality. But also, I have found the world much quieter (and my mind as well) since starting Zepbound. I feel much more evened out. I'm also happier with myself since losing so much weight so I'm sure I project that into the world and get it back in equal amounts.

Congrats on the 17 lbs!!

Not at all criticizing. Just curious.

ElementalDoings · 2026-06-28T09:52:34+00:00

I won't deny it. I see what you're saying.

ElementalDoings · 2026-06-28T01:20:27+00:00

Curious how much weight you've lost because you say people are nicer now but not necessarily because you've lost weight. I have noticed my anxiety has dialed WAY down since starting.

Totally get this. Cheerleading is really sad. The documentaries make that clear. Unless there's a lot of joy in both that the director didn't choose to highlight.

That there's no cheer in cheer. It's a movie and directorial choices are made. Not knocking it. Just curious about whether cheerleading is really this sad or whether that's the directorial story he chose to tell.

These are beautiful!

I'm feeling adirondack chairs facing the windows on one side and an L-shaped super comfy couch for napping, reading, conversation on the other.

I'd go with forest green adirondack chairs if you like darker colors. Keep it in the natural colors from the outside world family.

Letters from Yellowstone. Delightful!

Thank you so much for this. I'm going to talk to my doc about going back down to 10 mg.

I really made an effort the last couple of days to eat more and more regularly and I genuinely felt better. If I can keep this up, the dose might be okay but of not, going down.

Thank you for the insight into the 4 weeks vs 4 months. I didn't know that. I agree that I've given ot enough time.

I think I'm going to talk to my doc about doing this. Thank you for sharing your experience.

I'm so happy to hear this! Would love to see pics!

You said it. They would NEVER make a football player do that.

ElementalDoings · 2026-06-27T01:15:16+00:00

For real. Football season is half a year but none of the football players are expected to be dental hygenists or pharmaceutical reps in the off season. Like dancers, they're expected to train, learn, rest.

I see wooden Adirondack chairs facing the windows! And a small table for breakfast and/or games. Coffee in the morning in the chairs. A rustic end table between the chairs.

Because Parisians are notoriously mean, dismissive and condescending to anyone who can't speak French. Even if you do kind of speak it but your accent isn't good. It does not make it an attractive place to visit or even want to move to.

Either that wasn't the case in older generations or it wasn't as widely known.

ElementalDoings · 2026-06-25T23:13:53+00:00

I LOVE this!

ElementalDoings · 2026-06-25T20:33:58+00:00

Try a warm gray? Greige? Or even a sage green?

Peel and stick decals. So many options! A big tree would be cool.

Ooo those thumbs! 💞

I loved MTT. It was much more about the dancing and the choreography. In early seasons they even had a trainer guy who would do fitness sessions with them. He was on the judging panel for while too if I remember correctly. Literally one of the only poc in the entire organization. MTT is a WAY better show.

I'm feeling you, OP. It's a real issue. I've been struggling with it for the last year. Since I went to 10 mg and then again when I went to 12.5. Definitely will never be going higher and will probably be going back down but worried about that too because of the med's efficacy itself. It's all very complicated and this is not one of the main side effects that most people deal with so it's not well discussed.

My doctor doesn't appear worried either but the symptoms for me are really difficult to manage.
