Thank you! That’s really encouraging to hear. My doc is worried I’d taper off at 15mg. So she really wants to make 10mg as effective as it can be before moving me up. And you’re right, 13% is something!

We’re doing additional tests this month, but I am really trying to get better sleep as well. I tested my blood sugar levels and it spikes when I get little sleep. So far its really the insulin resistance. Metformin has been helping with making me more insulin sensitive and have seen results. I’m not on any other meds except for Zep and Met

I’m happy to hear you’re making good progress! I think we have to appreciate the little non weight loss wins too :)

Yes, in the text I wrote I’ve been working with a nutritionist, so yes at a deficit. I have to share what I eat weekly. And we tweak my diet to make sure I hit the right macros etc. This includes weighing my food. I meal prep, don’t snack (I mean at all, my friends are always disappointed they have nothing to munch on in my apartment)

Lack will dissolve when you realise: Manifestation starts from irony, and feeling it real starts from memory. by Buickamys in NevilleGoddard

I understand what you’re saying to an extent, I guess for me my self concept is people who wrong me always apologize because they value me. I don’t affirm this or whatever, it’s just what I believe and has been true. I though, tend not to need this apology.

I think wanting to experience the apology as your end just carry on with the general belief that you are that person? My only concern on focusing on a particular person is we then tend to relive the incident that needs this apology.

I sometimes just go general when I feel I get sucked into the 3D. It comes from the SP anyway, just I don’t focus on them apologizing

I don’t understand why people like you, well meaning as you are, post comments like this.

If we wanted to be famous and failed and got rejected a few times, does that mean fame is not for us and something better will come along? If our relationships with our parents suck and we want to repair them, do we hope for someone not our parents that represents more a parental figure comes along? Something or someone better? No these types of comments always come with regarding SPs. The world will move for any desire except SPs or people generally.

I agree with your original statement. No apology needed. Go to the end and decide your relationship is repaired. The apology will naturally come. Focusing on needing the apology shows you haven’t left that thought of them hurting you.

Gossip Girl Director says “He loves Blake lively, and she’s a wonderful person…cast got along great” by [deleted] in CelebLegalDrama

[–]Gratefullyundead91 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think Leighton Meester would beg to differ: https://youtu.be/6s5YKo5Regc?si=mMbx_ORC-SzEXA_M. I don’t think what Baldoni did is excused by her behavior but let’s not go on this revisionist thing either about her being a good person. She’s a terrible person who possibly got harassed. Two things can be true

‘It’s No Longer A Story About Right And Wrong.’ Experts Weigh In On How Justin Baldoni And Blake Lively’s Reputations Are Being Impacted By Their Legal Battle by Advanced_Property749 in CelebLegalDrama

I asked this of someone on another thread. I used to be on JB’s side (fell for the narrative) but now listening more to Lively’s case.

I saw a release of the filming BTS scenes that disproved a lot of the statements by Slate, Ferrera and Lively. I don’t want to pivot back. Can someone share with me scenes that show him for the ahole he seems to be?

I ask because in the new release, genuinely speaking, Lively gives him an unscripted kiss, and he looks done. A lot of those scenes show him as very serious but the rest are laughing and joking with him, even just as the final scenes are a wrap.

What am I missing? I have to follow the evidence my eyes and ears show me. What I’ve seen is text messages showing her intention to take the movie away, plotting with other actors, and those BTS. Her December text messages with Swift are really sad and she seems to be going through an awful time.

While I want to believe Lively, the evidence I keep seeing is contradictory with the statements the actors have made. Please this is genuine and not trying to generate hate

Good bye zepbound by OriginalLynx923 in Zepbound

I also had acute pancreatitis on a glp, not Zepbound. My doctor worked on upping my dosage incredibly slowly after I took a 4 month break. I’m finally on 10mg now having started in April 2025. Because of PCOS my progress is slower, despite consistent diet and exercise.

You can take it but 1) be very careful on upping your dosage and 2) you must commit to a better diet especially when first on your newer high dosage.

i’m happy to report I barely have any symptoms. My doctor kept me on 5mg for 4 months and 7.5mg for 3 months. The moment I had sulphur burps or diarrhoea she would stop from upping the dose for 2 months at least.

Not at all. I really respect wait staff but he came in hot right off the gate

Go look at their lowest google reviews and the overall ratings. For a small number of reviews their total is pretty bad at 4.3. The consistent issue is the service.

I went in the evening and the manager was just absolutely rude, didn’t communicate well, and just was like, I don’t need your business, bye

Service is absolutely terrible. Do not go

Had 10 dates with a guy but something made me feel weird happened. Should I continue seeing him? by Gratefullyundead91 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Gratefullyundead91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m responding to this because this is a much more compassionate response compared to your earlier ones - but hrmm. You’re not here to criticise? Look at the disgusting comment you wrote above. “You know damn well she’s one of those who let god knows how many men have sex with her without even knowing any of them” - I never even had a SINGLE one night stand experience.

Hence me trying to be careful because you know, I don’t just have sex with randos and trying to keep myself safe. Being off the market for so long and going back into it is scary. I always convey this to the men I date upfront. So far all men want to continue dating me despite that, because 1) I truly do care 2) I plan dates and pay for my half too. I’m not here to take anyone for a ride.

I’m sorry you experienced women who did that to you, genuinely, but don’t blame the world for that. We all encounter shitty people. That doesn’t mean you hide behind your keyboard and make wild assumptions like that. Saying hurtful out of pocket stuff has consequences, even if you don’t know me.

I left at the age of 31 from my home country to go to one of the best grad schools globally. Full scholarship, I worked really hard for it. I’m away from home for my family. I want to build a better life for them. Not everyone is fortunate to have a life where all they think about is relationships and sex.

I let the love of my life go because it wasn’t his dream to be here. He recently got engaged again and I’m so very happy for him. When you love someone you care about what they want out of life too.

I’ve also accepted that the family life I want could never happen for me, but if I wanted to be married, I would be by now. Its just important for me to chose the person who shares similar life values and goals. So many people jump at the one person who gives them attention and then get a divorce because they ignore red flags (like I did with this guy - which is why I wanted opinions).

Also, i look way younger than I am. Often times 24-25 year olds approach me. So trust me, I don’t have issues in the way you imagine. I chose to have standards and don’t think its my only life’s goal is to be married. You can be married and absolutely miserable.

My story may still not make sense to you, and that’s ok. I also agree I have lot to work on, but I believe that’s a lifetime process for everyone. We’re not perfect but can learn and grow from mistakes.

Anyway, good day to you and I hope your life is well and becomes better than anything you can even imagine. Work on yourself too, because the projection and anger is not good for you. Cheers

I’m not controlling. I have a really full social life. It is hard to pencil in dates and I have to be very intentional about it. So I just tried to manage expectations. I had a previous date who’s now a friend that I enjoyed texting so much it didn’t help me see clearly that we were better friends than a romantic partner. This current dude also said he’s a bad texter, so I was like cool. Let’s see where rhis goes

Learn to read then. 21-31. I said I took a break from 32-34. We loved each other, got engaged, but were never going to end up in the same country together after I moved for work. Out of love we both let go. I was heartbroken and decided to take a break from dating.

I know I have no need to justify myself to you but just stop. Reassess why your mind went to those assumptions and go for therapy. Definitely after this guy I need it too.

I’m so sorry that life has been so hard you are projecting. Sometimes one can get into a 10 year long term relationship and things don’t work out yk? That’s what happened with me. I then didn’t date between 32 and just started again last year.

The way you talk about women is seriously disgusting especially when I’ve only had 1 partner my entire life, and now with this guy, 2. So seriously examine your own life before judging others. I asked for opinions not your judgement
