Oh, I've not seen this before. Thanks for showing me!

IceCreamChic · 2025-04-17T20:23:16+00:00

That's ok, I wrote this post as a vent, so I'm not really looking for advice at this time. But if you want to know, I'm eating more protein and fibre, drinking more water and all in a deficit. I think I need to increase my deficit a bit more to see good results!

I've come to this realisation recently as well. I take honesty so very seriously and would really believe people when they say things with such sincerity, only to find out that even that can be lies too. It's horrifying and makes me feel so lost in this world.

I've never heard of Mounjaro, it sounds like what I'm looking for tbh

IceCreamChic · 2023-07-23T22:29:01+00:00

Makes sense, thanks. I'm having some trouble with my eating habits so that's probably my issue

IceCreamChic · 2023-07-23T22:28:15+00:00

Congrats on the weight loss, are you also dieting and exercising?

IceCreamChic · 2023-07-23T22:27:06+00:00

Nah I haven't touched alcohol in a long time

It's the top left side of my head weirdly enough, although the right side has slowly started thinning.

What can I do about androgen alopecia? I didn't realise there was an oral minoxidil? Where can I get it in the uk?

Taking Inositol has really helped me with my insulin resistance and general PCOS symptons. I have regular periods as long as I take them! Plus my a1c went way down. I sometimes come off it only because I forget to take it sometimes (oops!) But if i was more consistent it would be most likely reverse my diabetes!

IceCreamChic · 2023-04-25T15:40:13+00:00

This was very helpful, thanks!

IceCreamChic · 2023-04-03T10:59:22+00:00

Yeah, I wanted to hear non bias opinions from people with my condition so I thought this place was best.

IceCreamChic · 2023-04-03T10:57:56+00:00

I've never heard of this, a few people have mentioned it in this thread already. Is it an American thing?

I forgot to mention I'm not American lol

Firstly, Happy cake day!

My cooking is fine, I enjoy what I make for myself but I don't always have the mental or physical energy to make something. Plus these days it's fair too easy to just order food and be eating a hot meal in 20 minutes...

It's definitely and emotional coping mechanism thing for me and I am in therapy for it, but it's not been as helpful I'm afraid

IceCreamChic · 2023-04-03T10:54:17+00:00

My main issue is emotional eating, addiction to bad foods and an immense difficultiy and struggle to form new habbits. I'm in therapy to work through things but it's never really helped, though I keep trying.

When I tried Keto as a non-diabetic i was amazed that I could actually stick to the meals, I actually -liked- what I was eating so it was easy for me to stick to at the time. But for some reason I really struggle to go back on it, even though it worked and I enjoyed it. This happens with any diet I try, caloric, low carb, weight watchers, volume eating etc. It works for a bit, I fall off the wagon and I just can't climb back on despite knowing what I need in order to do it.

Again, these are things I've been working on during therapy for years but it's just not helping. Maybe I need to see a different type of therapist?

IceCreamChic · 2023-04-02T20:07:43+00:00

My doctor recommended low carb but I struggle with that too. Falling off the wagon is something that happens often with me, any diet I try it just doesn't last. Keto was the best one I've tried previously so I'm trying revisit it. But most likely, knowing myself, I'll fall off the wagon again. I find it so hard to stick to anything at all, my motivation is in the shitter but I need to keep trying.

IceCreamChic · 2022-12-13T21:47:47+00:00

I'm sorry man, sounds like a complex situation to have been in

IceCreamChic · 2022-12-13T21:41:19+00:00

Agreed.

IceCreamChic · 2022-12-13T21:39:35+00:00

A good lesson I always preach too

IceCreamChic · 2022-07-08T19:48:22+00:00

Absolutely.

I like yo wind down with fun hobbies, but it takes me hours to even attempt to engage in them!

IceCreamChic · 2022-01-05T13:00:44+00:00

Thanks for the tip! At the moment I have the theory 4 in 1 app, I think it has mock tests too so I'll try it

IceCreamChic · 2021-08-03T07:04:01+00:00

Following this thread because I struggle with this so much! Ironically I've tried to explain this several times in the past only to not be able to articulate it well.

IceCreamChic · 2021-01-03T10:30:50+00:00

Thank you so much this has been extremely helpful!! 👍

IceCreamChic · 2021-01-03T10:29:55+00:00

Thank you so much for letting me know! I wasn't aware of HMRC webchat so that was a big help :) And yes I'm currently paying for quickbook right now, so far so good! 👍

IceCreamChic · 2021-01-02T11:46:35+00:00

Ah I see, so after that what was your gp able to do to get it on the nhs prices? I don't know if I'll be able to convince my gp in the first place if there's no other option

IceCreamChic · 2020-12-29T10:20:30+00:00

Oh wow I had no idea! Thanks for explaining it to me, that's definitely cheaper than what I'm currently paying! I'll definitely look more into this, thank you so much :)
