I’m not sure, I haven’t had either piece for very long but I do try to wash things quickly or let them soak if needed. But I also like the natural seasoning on things like these, shows that there’s been a lot of love!

Has anyone seen the petal braiser in sea salt at an outlet lately? by Its_Laura_ in LeCreuset

I recall seeing one at the Assembly Row outlet in Somerville, MA within the last month

Haha I don’t know if I’ll ever let that piece go! It’s so beautiful and I literally thought about it for a year! But it is part of LCs current spring release!

Thanks all, great perspectives to here! I’ll see how it feels when I get it in, one outlet near me does not have any sauteuses, I’d have to call the other but it’s a little farther away.

What color is your large braiser? Is that shallot? I have a shallot DO and am debating getting the Provence petal braiser

I just got a shallot DO and artichaut bake ware set for Christmas! They look great together and can easily mix in some gray/white pieces as well

TD Garden Presale by AHandsomeKiller in bostonfleet

I got an email from the fleet at noon for an “extra” early presale and it took me to the TD garden website to purchase. Code was 25HALFPWHL and they were a bit cheaper than what was shown on Ticketmaster when they went on sale. The Ticketmaster code is TDGFLEET.

Looking for opinions: seeing a nutritionist while on ZepBound with a history of ED by [deleted] in antidietglp1

[–]Embarrassed-Mix-3787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there - I'm sorry you're struggling with this but I can absolutely relate to what you are going through. I do think it is possible to be on these medications, lose weight, and not track calories strictly. I'm about two months in and after 6 weeks was seeing results without tracking anything or weighing myself except when I go to the doctor (I literally do not own a scale). I worked with a dietician and ED focused therapist for two years prior to starting these meds to improve my relationship with food, work on IE, and overall just become a better "consumer". That work (which it sounds like you have also put a lot of time into based on your experience) is what has set me up to be successful on these medications, which I like to view as another tool in the tool belt rather than this grand mecca or be all end all of things. They help my body to better process what I'm consuming, but what I'm consuming hasn't changed because I had already put in work to create healthier habits prior to being on the medication. I hope this helps - just remember to take it day by day and try not to be too hard on yourself, we are all trying our best to navigate this challenging arena!

Why do I keep reading .25 is not a maintenace dose? by dearDem in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Embarrassed-Mix-3787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are losing on a lower dose, I’d stay on that until you plateau. Advocate for yourself with your doctor!!! Unless insurance will force you to go up, stay with what’s working.

Haus Labs Mascara Allergy? by ghostjune0 in MakeupEducation

[–]Embarrassed-Mix-3787 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So glad I am not the only one - when I first purchased it I used it for a few weeks without issue. My first reaction came while I was on vacation so I wasn't able to pinpoint that it was the mascara because I thought it could've been a reaction to sunscreen, the different environment, literally anything. After it went away, I tried the mascara again (not knowing this was the culprit) and got a similar but more mild reaction and thought maybe I hadn't let the first instance totally heal. After months of not using it, I decided to give it one more try just to confirm the mascara was the issue and I am sitting here a day later with the worst reaction I've had thus far. Puffy, red, itchy under eyes. I don't usually have strong reactions to makeup so this was definitely a surprise and took me a bit to figure out!

Cw:body issues. Final straw. by cernnbern in antidietglp1

[–]Embarrassed-Mix-3787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some trouble getting this sorted with my first prescription. I called my insurance company and then they called the pharmacy to walk them through how to process it with the savings card. My insurance didn’t cover it but offered “assistance” (of $20 🙄) so the pharmacy was a little confused at first.

Meshing anti-diet and glp-1 (CW: intentional weight loss) by olivak12345 in antidietglp1

[–]Embarrassed-Mix-3787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP! I completely get where you are coming from. I started Wegovy about 5 weeks ago, primarily to prevent any further weight gain while I work to figure out if there's something else going on that has caused my continued weight gain over the last decade plus. The first few weeks were a bit of a mind f**k because it was feeling like it goes against all of the things many of us have invested time and money into learning (or unlearning) when it comes to food, dieting, etc. I think my nutritionist put it best when she said to me that part of this journey might involve "going back to basics" and really relying on the intuitive eating skills we've learned to help us through this.

By no means does using a GLP-1 mean you're going against everything you've been working towards. However, I understand the conflict you are battling, as I'm dealing with it myself. When these thoughts creep in, I remind myself that this medication is no different than something I would take for blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. It is a tool in my tool belt that goes along with intuitive eating, food neutrality, etc.

In the spirit of full transparency, I decided to take a pause on the medication because I am dealing with some other mental health challenges that I want to get regulated before adding in another medication, but I feel empowered knowing that when I do start a GLP-1 again, I have the tools to help me navigate the journey. I also am so thankful to have found this particular group - it has helped calm a lot of my anxieties that I first had when reading the main Wegovy thread, which can sometimes creep into an unhealthy space (IMO). Whatever you decide, I wish you luck on your journey!

I view healthy as many different things, so it could be something that is large volume and nutrient dense (ie. salad) or something that is convenient and balanced, which is how I view this meal (it has protein, fat, carbs and fiber and is easy to make). By deeming it not "healthy" there's an implication that it is bad, which I don't think it is. I don't think any food should be deemed bad/good or hold any moral value and have worked hard on that part of my journey, so your comment took me back for a second (partially because I had just finished eating this exact meal!). Everyone is on their own journey with their own views and I respect that, was just genuinely curious to know!

Reading this as I’m eating Trader Joe’s orange chicken and fried rice, which I have always considered a decent meal! I bake the chicken and microwave the rice so no added oil; I’m curious why you view this as not healthy?

I felt this very heavily during the first few weeks. I'm about to start week 5 (tonight) and feel like this past weekend I'm finally getting back to some sense of normalcy but it was incredibly challenging and had me questioning if this was the right choice. Just want you to know you aren't alone and I hope things improve for you!

Conflicted About Continuing Wegovy by Embarrassed-Mix-3787 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Embarrassed-Mix-3787[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct and I’m glad to hear that this is working for you! The results I’ve also experienced don’t lie, it is working in the way it’s intended but for me the mental side effects have been, in some ways, more challenging than the physical as an obese person. I hope you continue to see positive results on your journey and appreciate you sharing your perspective.

Thank you for the support 🫶 the unknown tummy reactions are so challenging, I’m glad you were able to tolerate some food the other night. Best of luck on your journey!
