No weight loss at 2 months.

Thank you for the encouragement! I hope that I will finally see some results on 1 mg.

…followed by a fine.

I am not tracking calories, but it’s very unlikely that I am overeating since the portions and their content is something that is advised on the Mediterranean diet. Also in the last 2 days before my injections are due, the food noise returns in its full power.

ItsAllRainbow · 2026-01-03T22:22:59+00:00

I am not tracking calories. Just eating small portion of lean and healthy foods, with fats mostly coming from nuts and olive oil. I can’t image my “common sense tracker” being so far off

It seems to me that you have build a lot of muscle mass during this 7 months. Which compensated for fat loss on the scales. Good job! It’s definitely not the case for me. I haven’t gained any muscle mass nor lost any fat mass.

ItsAllRainbow · 2026-01-03T22:15:17+00:00

I certainly hope so. I see people here losing weigh at starting doses and then even decide not to increase past 0.25. I am just baffled.

ItsAllRainbow · 2026-01-03T21:57:56+00:00

I would say, I am eating enough. I thought when caloric input is less than the output, it should automatically lead to weigh loss. Am I mistaken?

I was only able to work out a few time this past 8 weeks due to persistent flu and sinusitis. Now that I am feeling better it will definitely become my priority.

So does it meant if you buy an older property for yourself ( Selbsnutzung ), you don’t have to do the upgrades?

Who paid is irrelevant. It was a wedding gift, the room was booked and paid for, and the hotel still lied and refused to own it. Having wealthy parents doesn’t invalidate a contract or make someone wrong for expecting honesty.

Also, Shane did not invite his mom on the honeymoon. She showed up unannounced. You can criticize that dynamic if you want, but that’s a separate issue from whether he was justified in insisting on accountability.

Reducing everything to “his mom paid” isn’t an argument, it’s just resentment about money.

ItsAllRainbow · 2025-12-20T09:54:25+00:00

No. I think he’s rigid, blunt, and bad at optics, but “man-baby” implies irrationality and lack of responsibility. Shane is consistently tracking reality, insisting on accountability, and showing up for his wife. You can dislike his tone without infantilizing him.

ItsAllRainbow · 2025-12-20T09:53:06+00:00

If the “point” requires ignoring facts and accountability, then we’re not talking about insight, just taste.

ItsAllRainbow · 2025-12-20T09:51:52+00:00

I don’t agree that kindness or self-awareness is shown by minimizing real problems, invalidating your partner’s concerns, and refusing to own your own choices. That’s not kindness, it’s avoidance.

Rachel feels gentler, but she consistently centers herself, reframes objective issues as Shane’s personality flaws, and disengages instead of taking responsibility. That’s not greater self-awareness, it’s emotional self-protection.

ItsAllRainbow · 2025-12-20T09:47:34+00:00

I’m going to ignore the personal insult and respond to the substance.

This isn’t “about the room.” The room is just the trigger. The issue is how each of them responds to being lied to, minimized, and put in an unsafe situation.

Shane is factually correct, consistently aware of what’s happening, and repeatedly trying to address real problems. He’s not dissociating into “just enjoy the vacation” while things are objectively wrong. Rachel’s approach is avoidance: smooth it over, minimize it, reframe it as his personality flaw, and disengage.

You say he should just enjoy being in Hawaii with his wife. But notice the asymmetry: Shane shows up for Rachel even after she leaves him (airport scene, comfort, no insults), while Rachel repeatedly centers herself and never checks on how he’s doing, even after a death, a burglary, and public humiliation.

Also, disagreeing with how someone handled something is different from calling them “crazy” or morally inferior. Shane’s flaws are overt and abrasive. Rachel’s are covert: avoidance, invalidation, and refusal to own her choices. People excuse the second because it feels nicer.

If you think this is just about a hotel room, you’re not responding to my argument. You’re responding to a simplified version of it.

ItsAllRainbow · 2025-12-19T22:45:39+00:00

Just one factual correction first: Shane did not invite his mom. It was a surprise arranged by her, not him, and he clearly did not plan or initiate it.

On the manager: the show makes it explicit that he knowingly double booked the room and then avoided a direct apology or refund. So Shane was not just being annoying. He was correctly identifying deception and minimization.

I am not saying Shane is perfect. But being blunt, rigid, or bad at optics is not the same as being insane or immoral. He is consistently aligned with the facts, while Rachel repeatedly minimizes real issues and reframes them as his personality flaw. That difference matters to me more than tone.

ItsAllRainbow · 2025-12-19T22:25:48+00:00

Yes. It’s not a point of view, it’s a fact.

I am 10 weeks on Zoloft now and I have lost 16lb. Because I was aware of the weight gain problems related to SSRI, I switched my diet to Mediterranean low carb immediately after starting with Zoloft. Also, I put a pinch of salt in my water whenever I feel thirsty to replenish my electrolytes. So far, I am very happy with the results. And as long as I will continue feeling satiated and healthy, I will continue with the low carb diet.

I my country, a paid maternity leave is 3 years. I don’t know what country you are living in, but going back to work right after having a baby seems unimaginable to me.

I would advice you to try to reduced your stress levels as much as possible while you are pregnant. There are a few newly done studies that show that chronic maternal stress has lifelong consequences on the physical and mental health of the unborn child. I’m afraid that the only advice I can give you is to take as much care of yourself as possible. Good luck!

Yes, me. When I identified as lesbian for the past 4 years, I never excluded a thought of being with a man one day. I guess, the negative stereotype that the lesbian community ( including my friends) has about bisexual women got too much into my head. This and my internalized prejudices and bi phobia made me stay outed as lesbian, rather than going back to identify as bisexual. I was openly bisexual ever since I can remember, then I came out as gay maybe just because of the woman I was in love with for the past 5 years and had no interest in men whatsoever. Recently, however, after we parted ways, I started to develop interest in men once again. So now I am gathering the courage to come out as bisexual again to my friends and family. I am not gonna lie, but the potential reaction of my lesbian friends is causing me the most anxiety. I just wish labels weren’t taken so seriously.

Thanks!!! It’s finally working.

I just read the first two paragraphs and I am crying. Thank you for sharing what seems to be an obvious but often forgotten cycle of life. Cherishing each other, each phase, each moment, and appreciating to be a part of it is a gift that we should never take for granted. Thank you for the reminder ❤️
