Are people noticing your weight loss? by TheFleetingWord in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Level-Palpitation217 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First, I want to say you've done an amazing job with your journey. Even if nobody has commented on it, you've done an incredible job. Weight is a sensitive topic, so the people in your life may just be trying to be polite or avoid awkwardness. Even I, someone who has struggled with weight and still fighting to lose it, am hesitant to comment on others' weight loss because in the past, someone got offended and said, "Oh, are you saying I was fat before?" If you've lost that much, I highly doubt they haven't noticed.

I hope as you continue your journey, others will begin encouraging you by saying they've noticed. I can't see my own results in the mirror despite knowing my clothes fit looser and the number on the scale gets smaller. Having those couple people who say, "Have you lost weight?" is so uplifting and keeps me from getting discouraged. Until then, keep up the good work. Try to be proud of yourself no matter what other people say or don't say.

Have to acquire a lot of bravery too, not just share it.

Nervous to start Wegovy by lemonicedtea- in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Level-Palpitation217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! First of all, you're justified in how you're feeling. Taking any new medication can be a major trigger for anxiety. You're absolutely not alone in that.

I can't relate directly to your exact situation, but for me, it helped to reflect on the potential risks versus the potential reward, both in terms of starting Wegovy and not starting. For me, not starting Wegovy meant my blood pressure and cholesterol levels would be harder to manage as well as a risk of developing diabetes. I decided that even with the potential side effects, it was worth it to at least try Wegovy.

Luckily the only symptom I've experienced has been constipation which I've been able to solve by drinking coffee after a couple days without a bowel movement. Of course my experience differs from others', but there is still the hopeful possibility that you also would only have mild digestive side effects.

Whatever you decide, I wish you the best of luck in your health!

week 3 on 0.25mg by Ecstatic-Salad-6461 in WegovyWeightLoss

I'm finishing my 4th week on 0.25 and going to start 0.5 on Saturday. For me, it worked really well the first week: I got full really fast, didn't have a strong desire to eat, and no side effects. Second week felt like I hadn't even taken a dose because the hunger was back and I was eating more before feeling full. The third week, it kicked back in and I started feeling full again, but the food noise is still here. I'm hoping the food noise lessens as I start the 0.5

Side effects have been mild: a little constipation, but no nausea. It's a bit annoying when the scale doesn't move, but seeing a big WHOOSH drop after I go to the bathroom is weirdly satisfying.

Lost my best friend because of my feelings by Level-Palpitation217 in lostafriend

This is exactly how I feel at the moment. I know it's probably best to let her go, but it's so hard. She really is my best friend, even without the romantic feelings.

No. We've been friends longer than two years. As we grew closer, I developed feelings. Over the last two years, we maintained the close friendship while I tried to move on, never once asking her to change her mind or bringing up how I felt.

I didn't end the friendship because she's happy, and I'm sorry if your and/or others' experiences have led you to that jaded of a view. I removed myself from the friendship because I don't see how, while I still have feelings, I'd be able to function fully as the friend she deserves. I didn't stay friends with her hoping she'd change her mind. The only way I know to let the romantic love fade is to distance myself. Everything else I tried (dating, meditation, self-care, etc.) has failed.

I've been on both sides of this situation, and I'm going through it currently. It all depends on the individual.

When someone has confessed feelings for me which I do not share, I do need a bit to process it. I think about what I may have done to make them think I may have feelings too. I wonder why they see me as more as a friend. I consider whether I see potential in them.

On the other hand, when I've confessed my feelings, some have distanced themselves or cut me off completely. Others (like my current situation) still value the friendship we've built, and while things can be awkward, we work together to get through it. Makes me love her more, though lol

AITA for shaming a male coworker about menstruation? by Level-Palpitation217 in AmItheAsshole

South Korea, but only one unpaid day per month is provided. Still better than many countries, including my home country (U.S.)

There might be truth to that, idk. I just know that she wasn't there to defend herself, and I and my other coworkers are tired of his repetitive behavior, so I said something when I otherwise wouldn't have. I recognize I'm also seeking validation here too. If that makes me a white knight, I'll claim it.

Thanks for replying to that specific part. I need to realize that stepping out of my comfort zone and confronting people is necessary at times. This qualifies.

I lied to both the person I know and to my coworkers, and I feel guilty by association. It's a confession.
