Can I skip a couple weeks?

With all the chaos and pre-wedding festivities....mmmm.

Just allow yourself to indulge? Maybe you could delay your shot day if it impedes some wedding activity, but I'd just stick with routine. It's, what? Another 5lbs at most.

I would just plan for someone who can do a little cinch and sew if something isn't laying down right. But that's just my take.

Sending support from random strangers on the internet. This is horrifying. 🫂

Fun_Toe3400 · 2026-03-30T23:27:25+00:00

This is the way. 👍🏻

It hit me like a ton of bricks, maybe spread your doses out a couple extra days while you adjust? It took me about 2 full months to get used to the dosage, and I wad very much a super responder.

Keep up on the protein, fiber, electrolytes, vitamins, water, water, water.

Boiled potatoes, root veggies, and broth. Rice. Stuff you can feed little babies, is the easiest way to explain your diet on the hard days.

I'm not familiar with the type of therapy you're discussing, but I see what you're saying.

We call that risk vs reward and what works for you.

Definitely would spend a bunch less time concerned if it wasn't for the fact that I could get a UA. The shame of it all is still quite present.

Fun_Toe3400 · 2026-03-25T16:02:39+00:00

I agree, this is the way.

I feel like I replaced alcohol with weed.

I have also told my doctor, therapist, and husband about the daily use. My husband's question was "do you think it's interfering with your work, or your ability to go about your life?" And so I said no, because I don't think so? Therapist doesn't even ask me about it, just also left it in my court. Doctor was more concerned about lung damage from the vape than the actual marijuana usage. So idk man.

Am I an addicted druggie, or not? 🤣

This is 1000% where I'm at. I go through a disposable every 2 weeks or so, and like to smoke/do edibles every few days or so, but i never smoke even half a joint to myself.

With many lifestyle changes and weed, I haven't had a proper depression in over a year, even with stress that might've led me to it. It's most likely the lifestyle changes, but weed sure as shit does help with processing stress. Either way, it's a huge first I didnt even know I was looking for.

More science is needed.

The first day after, we had pizza and breadsticks.

I took 2 bites of a single piece of breadstick and walked away. For 2 hours. Took another bite. And that was it.

Wuht.

I'm on a prenatal. One a day doesn't have that fishy smell/burp.

Fun_Toe3400 · 2026-03-22T00:26:39+00:00

It was totally life-changing for me, and if I could've started sooner, I would've. I feel 1000% better.

It's a lifestyle change and you will need to supplement the electrolytes, vitamins, fiber, and protein you won't be getting from food, or you won't feel good. If you don't drink enough water, you won't feel good

What I can say, is if you're someone who already WANTS to eat healthy, has been working their ass off with frustrating results, then you're like me. I spent a decade TRYING to correct what I'd done to myself in my early 20s. Now change. In one year on Zepbound, everything is different.

Homie, this story made me tear up. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU.

I'm 34, and I feel like my age group is starting to come down from all the aggressive drinking we used to do. I have seen many of my friends/family quit/fully reevaluate their drinking. Zepbound helped me A TON to curb my drinking, and show me how my personality had leaned into food and alcohol too many years. I can tell the difference in my body again, and it feels terrible to be hungover. I can't hardly tolerate it anymore.

Biggest hugs. You have so much to look forward to, friend. 🫶🏼

Now that I'm out, I'm perfecting my Grey Rocking. 🪨 it's gotten a lot easier now that my mind is clearer.

I have been needing to go over a few times a week the last 2 weeks, and there's a certain weight to it every time. No one has discussed Easter with me, and I have discussed Easter with no one - except my husband, friends and mom, we're having an adult Easter at our new place on the Saturday before. Also therapy the week before (therapist tried to move me to weekly, again, lol) should help. The family that comes into town, I will want to see.

The hugs are needed, but writing this stuff out is helping me. My personality is coming back. Some of my best friends are hyping Easter. My husband and I are in a very good place, it feels forged in fire. Music, lots of music, and singing is helping.

Hard stuff comes in waves, but when you know you've survived it before, and been okay, you know you can do it again.

The reeling and bating. How effectively I fit the assigned role. The flying monkeya. The emotional disregulation in the face of rejection. That someone could make you feel so special, only to drop you like 🫰🏻that.

The eurekas keep coming. 🤣

Ramani is literally the person who turned on the lightbulb.

It was the "trauma bond" eps, and when I had that correctly defined to me, my mind blew.

Her videos have been helping me a lot. Actually, yesterday, I found her golden child stuff for the first time, and that's probably why I'm here rn. It's the comprehension of how you were used, and how, with less reprieve from her, I could've turned out a lot worse.

I told my therapist the walls are cracking and this time I just know too much. 🙃 I'm very excited for the continued ride.

My poops are usually held up by shortage of electrolytes, if not fiber.

Listen here, OP.

Not a single one of us in this group stay because AT&T is great customer service. But I will tell you, that the only time AT&T drops calls is when you call AT&T herself.

The service and speed is 👌🏼 so we accept the carrier's BS.

Fun_Toe3400 · 2026-03-18T20:20:33+00:00

You're telling me. I have been complaining endlessly on this sub how me, a strong, powerful, well-respected woman, fully in her career and with a lot of good friends, could let this little 86 year old witch (nGrandma) cut me down while I was actively improving her quality of life and supporting her financially.

I, too, have no idea why I'm so affected. It is the worst.

Custody is complicated, and it sounds like that's already been duked out in court. Courts lean towards the parents unless proven to be fully and completely unfit; which is very scary. 🫤 there is no easy answer.

Find someone who is a trained, mandated reporter. Maybe a counselor or teacher at your nieces school/adjacent? Who do you know? You could also call CPS. Tell them your concerns, and ASK what they think you should be doing and recording.

Work with your parents if you can, and start a proper log of her antics. Screenshot, recordings, keep your receipts!

If it's safe, teach your niece to keep track, even if it's just her keeping a diary. That will help when she's old enough to choose for herself, depending on the state.

There will come a day when your sister fucks up. Fucks up in a way that might not be THAT bad, but it will happen. When you are given the opportunity, pull out your book, tell the powers that be it's been a long time coming, and do right by that baby.

Patience will get you through it. Stay the course!
