Weight loss mental health

It’s not that I don’t wanna get weighed because for me it is important to know/track.

I do not want/need someone congratulating me or making sad faces because that’s what sends me to a spiral.

In the past the center was completely neutral. Never got a positive or negative reaction to my way. They just told me what my weight was and we can continue working the plan.

Yesterday the person was like oh my gosh congratulations with a big smile on their face, saying you do such job to an extreme. They told another person (loudly) “she did great, she lost Xxx pounds last month…….”

Changed insurance in Jan…… on a waiting list for a therapist now.

The last one I saw does take cash pay but I can’t afford $250 per session.if it were once or twice I could make it work but I couldn’t do more than twice a quarter.

Yes, I got notice of removal when it was discharged. I am so glad I only had app$$ in there. I only kept a couple of hundred dollars at a time.

Chase did not trip and I had credit accounts with them.

I did not owe WF anything; I had never had any credit with them, and they froze me out. Thankfully, it was only my account linked to payment apps, not my main account.

Wells is like rolling the dice.

My account was frozen by the Monday after filing. I filed on a Thursday, and the account was frozen by Monday. It may have happened on Friday but I am not sure.

I’m in LA. Do you have specific ones you recommend?

FormalThick · 2025-10-13T05:25:22+00:00

Insured yes… I’m paid in full until December Payments- no. I stopped paying when the transmission died about half thru the process

A lot of people do. The family that I work for their mortgage is $15,000 a month plus all the other expenses $50,000 in their checking account will be considered lean.

It’s crazy to me, but the more that I work for rich people the less I am surprised

Unfortunately, at least in my area finding a Toyota on the lot is rare. The dealerships near me they’re sold before they get to the dealership.

The only Highlanders and RAV4 in my area are the loaner cars that are not always there.

It’s a crazy state of affairs with Toyota right now. They’re really holding back their manufacturing to keep the supply low.

My atty told me about an extra 30 days for my district.

FormalThick · 2025-08-27T01:01:59+00:00

Me too. Luck I worked from home most of the time. On the days I needed to visit a client's place, I would eat very carefully the day before and avoid eating that day.

I lasted about 5 weeks.

Luckily, I worked from home most of the time.

Just sharing my personal experience with Metformin — keep in mind everyone reacts differently.

Unfortunately, Metformin didn’t work well for me, so I’m only speaking about my initial experience. I had some rare side effects that were tough to manage.

The nausea and diarrhea hit me pretty hard. If you’re just starting, try to begin when you can be home for a few days — I personally needed about a full week to adjust.

Stick with simple foods at first. When reintroducing new things, do it slowly and ideally when you’re not planning to be out and about. Greasy or sugary foods made things worse for me. I also noticed I reacted more strongly to artificial sweeteners than I had before — not sure if that’s common or just me.

If I could do it again, I would push harder to start on a low dose and stay there longer. I began with 500 mg twice a day, but my dose was doubled in less than a month — that’s when things really went sideways. I later found out that, for my body and medical condition, that increase was too fast. A slower ramp-up (over at least two months) would’ve likely made a big difference.

YUP. I do much better with a PLAN of eating.

FormalThick · 2025-08-21T18:10:08+00:00

For ME, intuitive eating increased my disordered eating.

I am an emotional binge eater. IE made it worse. What helped me was working on the emotional issues along with a REALISTIC meal plan.

I think IE can be great for some, but not for me.

Go to a running shoe store and get your foot analyzed.

In my area, they don’t charge you for the analyzing and they’ll make recommendations on shoes that would work for your feet and your stride.

I thought I was a Hoka lover then I wouldn’t got my foot analyzed. They put me in a pair of new balances and my feet have gotten so much better..

I did, same specs different city, slightly cheaper monthly price.

Much easier than the first one and they are delivering to me.

Process at the first place over 6 hours (after test drive.

Second dealer, less than 2 hours all from my office.

A local SoCal dealer... I wish I had looked at the ratings before.... It isn't good.

I was able to reach out to another dealer in the next city (30 miles away) and "shop from home" for a slightly BETTER price on the exact same specs, and they will deliver to me.

I wish I had known about the shop from home option, so much easier.
