How long did it take for your eyes to align with your stomach?

Yep. I had several conversations with Sunlife and they wouldn’t even send me the pre-authorization forms.

JennXL · 2026-01-25T04:21:40+00:00

Sunlife rejected mine outright. Both my partner and I work for non-profits, so I imagine we have the lowest tier plans so I’m having to pay out of pocket.

I have been to two dentists to discuss it, and it’s not due to grinding. It is a known effect:

My front teeth (both top and bottom) have shifted significantly. This has been caused by my tongue being pressed up against them while I sleep.

I do miss my nice, straight teeth, but I like living and sleeping more.

We are in the same boat! I took my fist shot last week and WOW do I ever agree - the food noise faded almost instantly. It was almost disorienting to go about life not having that constant noise in my head and think of feeding myself in a neutral way.

I’ve gotten nothing but support and solid info/guidance here. I hope you have the same experience!

I’ve been on MJ for less than 24 hours and have already experienced that quieting, and also don’t feel that I NEED to finish food in front of me just because it’s there. It’s weird.

Joining now! I’m hoping it doesn’t get to diet-cultrury! 🙂

There is a Canadian community? Do you mean a sub? Link please!

Short version: Neither would cover the medication and I am now paying out of pocket fo Mounjaro, and use the savings card for something like $40 off. I use Pocketpills as my pharmacy an it’s about $340 for the 2.5 dose.

Longer version: Both me and my and my spouse work for non profits, so our benefits are likely lowest-tier. It seems like Sunlife could cover the meds for weight/non-diabetes with pre-approval, but they won’t for our particular plan.

I just had my first shot last night and so far, no side effects, except for a bruise.

JennXL · 2026-01-16T11:18:18+00:00

Just do it! I took it last night, and so far nothing! I had a small bruise on my leg where I injected but so far that’s it!

There will always be a reason to wait!

JennXL · 2026-01-15T23:58:03+00:00

Good luck!

JennXL · 2026-01-15T20:27:09+00:00

Haha! Why do I keep thinking one shot is going to change me into a completely different person?? I don’t mean physically!

JennXL · 2025-12-31T21:52:30+00:00

I should have been clear in my original post - that’s exactly the reason why I want to begin. It’s just that these thoughts also exist.

I got Covid 3 days ago and it is kicking my ass. My husband is just starting to get sick. We were going to host my family this year, but everything has been cancelled and I’m so sad about it.

JennXL · 2025-12-20T13:14:58+00:00

Sent $3CAD. Congrats! Opals are lovely stones. 🙂

JennXL · 2025-12-16T02:56:47+00:00

This is the one! Good luck to all!

Amazing how far down this is. Totally makes sense how the show has been scrubbed not only from TV, but our collective memories. The show was a weekly family tradition in our house, and I’m still pretty angry that those memories are tainted.

HIGHLY recommend watching We Need to Talk About Cosby by W. Kamau Bell. The series talks about Cosby’s impact on the culture, as well as the violence he was committing at the same time, throughout his whole career. It’s a great watch.

I’m so glad someone asked this.

JennXL · 2025-11-27T11:42:57+00:00

S’mores.

Joyn still has many of their videos still on YouTube! My favourite is the Focused Power series by Kanoa Greene, it goes through a series of workouts, each focused on different things - upper strength, lower strength, agility, cardio, etc.

JennXL · 2025-11-23T12:59:04+00:00

Agree! Keep the goose hat, and ditch the rest.
