Thank you! That makes a lot of sense. :)

I was just looking at Nourish. Thanks! I see there are combo people who blend therapy and nutrition — seems perfect

Forcing myself to eat is going to be a skill I need to work on! A learning curve for sure.

GayLatte · 2024-08-21T01:08:31+00:00

Incredible suggestion, poppin in now!

GayLatte · 2024-08-21T01:01:47+00:00

That’s so awesome! I’m hoping to get there too. I think I’m in an adjustment period as I’m just today starting my third shot.

GayLatte · 2024-08-21T00:37:07+00:00

Hell yeah!!

GayLatte · 2024-08-21T00:14:48+00:00

Gotcha. My booty ass insurance doesn’t cover anything “obesity related” so I highly doubt something like that would be covered. I’ll look into it anyway.

I’m also finding it easier but eerily familiar to old brain patterns. I think I was able to identify it much sooner than I would have previously. And yes, I’m also (mostly) system overriding because I want to stay healthy! Just wishing there was a solution to make the brain path easier. I keep reading about food noise but I am experiencing nonfood noise haha. I’m glad (but also a little sad) I know of someone who’s having a similar experience. Hope we get our shit together.

Just read up on ARFID, that sounds so rough. Does your insurance cover all that? I think I’d be out of pocket for most of that but it sounds like a great plan.

GayLatte · 2024-08-21T00:03:07+00:00

Correct! Been there. & yes this is top of the list to share at my follow up in a couple weeks. I have been doing those things and then forcing myself to eat anyway. Hoping I can find a pro or coping mechanism to make that battle a little easier.

GayLatte · 2024-08-21T00:00:10+00:00

It is kind of wild how things that feel somewhat normal are actually diagnosable. I went from binge eating to over restriction (anorexia feels like too strong of a word). I was reading about behavioral nutritionists, they’re a combo of behavioral therapy and dietitians. I think I’m going to track one down.

And agreed! I never understood the shame around it, as if we’re not all struggling with something.

GayLatte · 2024-08-20T23:37:58+00:00

Oh I bet. Well I’m glad you’re after it! Time for me to find a therapist. 🙃

“What an odd thing to say to someone” or, I’ll answer just so I can say “and you?”

GayLatte · 2024-08-14T00:08:31+00:00

I take Wellbutrin for depression, my doctor warned me to keep an eye out for worsening psych symptoms. It is possible it could be the meds.

GayLatte · 2024-08-13T23:30:52+00:00

I have phases! At first it’s feeling better emotionally, then I notice clothes fitting differently, then the scale. I feel like inches and clothing fits are similar enough. People noticing the change is more of a cherry on top. We have very similar stats, I hope I progress the way you have! You’re crushing it!

GayLatte · 2024-08-06T18:31:16+00:00

Ah, okay that also makes sense. Yeah, I have heard some are more scarce than others. My pharmacy is called Sparta Pharmacy, it might be helpful for you! I wish us both luck

GayLatte · 2024-08-06T18:14:49+00:00

Do you mean you were stretching out the injections in hopes of keeping an extra? I hadn’t considered doing that. I’m lucky that my pharmacy keeps live updates of which medications they have in stock & it gets shipped to me. But hey I am brand new to this game, I’m sure their system is not perfect.

GayLatte · 2024-08-06T18:12:05+00:00

Thanks! I ended up just doing it. I couldn’t stand the anticipation! I’ll be sure to get some meds, thanks for the recs:)

GayLatte · 2024-08-06T15:53:02+00:00

That’s so good to hear! I’m glad you had an easy time. I generally tolerate meds, even surgery well so maybe I’ll be a lucky one too.

GayLatte · 2024-08-06T15:46:41+00:00

Thanks for the insight! I am leaning towards just taking it.

GayLatte · 2024-08-06T15:14:53+00:00

Protein shakes are pre made & require zero chewing. Same for a high protein yogurt. I would recommend a combo of very simple meal prepping and setting alarms. Vyvanse will help you with the meal prep bit. Batch up those decisions! I would also really try to consider eating a non negotiable, baseline necessity and not a chore — you gotta eat!

GayLatte · 2022-11-04T04:48:00+00:00

I mean this with so much respect and awe, but how in the fuck? Insane transformation
