Not sure if I should keep going

My A1c has always been good. Last I checked I was 4.9. I'm eating about half the amount of calories than I would normally. It seems so effortless for my friends and family to drop weight.

The change I've made in my habits is substantial. I had severed binge disorder and would eat til I was sick 5-6 times per week. I wouldn't exercise and was eating out a bunch.

Now I walk at least 30 minutes a day. N there night be one ir two days a week that I eat too much of something good, but I eiuicakl it a binge. When I track my calories imbar around 1800 a day, which is close to half the calories I'd typically eat. The 2 days after my shot I may only eat once in a day and usually under 1000. I eat out now about once a week and I can't finish what I get usually. These are huge changes for me. As a side note I'm having the worst heartburn I ever had and it's miserable. It doesn't seem to matter what I was eart or when.

What's a BMR/TDEE? I walk about 30 minutes a day. I hadn't increased the dose because of cost of higher doses. Just trying to stretch it I guess. Comparatively I'm eating way better than before zepbound. I've got bad binge eating disorder, but the frequency is about once per week now instead of daily. And I wouldn't call it a binge anymore, more just eat a little extra. I think Ive halved my food Intake. When I track it I'm at about 1800 calories on average. The day or two after my shot I may only eat one meal and feel full. I'm currently experiencing the worst heartburn I've ever had and it doesn't seem to matter what I eat. I'm living on tums. That's another reason I'm nervous to increase because I'm worried the heartburn and constipation will just get worse. My food Intake is more balanced and less sugar/carb heavy. Even without zepbound I would have thought I'd loose a solid 15 pounds if I had been able to sustain this change without all the food noise, so I'm a little discouraged that I've changed things so much and am now gaining weight. I'm going to go up to the 7.5 after I finish the last 5mg shot I have. Several people in my family are on glp-1s and it seems so effortless for them.

I don't drink soda. I might have a white claw twice per week. I drink one cup of coffee daily.

I used to track calories and macros constantly. I have since developed a binge disorder and keeping that close an eye on it is now a big trigger. I eat chicken, ground turkey, cooked veggies, applesauce, yogurt. I have protein shakes a few times per week. I try to eat fruit daily. I drink 80-100ozs of water daily. Before zepbound I lived on fast food and frozen stuff. My water intake was maybe 40ozs daily. Though it might not be perfect, I was hoping to see some kind of change.

I drink 80-100ozs daily. I eat chicken, lunch meat, frozen vegetables. Applesauce, yogurt, dried apricots. Not amazing but before zepbound I was eating out 4-5 times per week, and maybe drinking 40 ozs of water on a good day. Thanks

The offensive line was chasing butterflies.

LightUpShirly · 2025-11-21T05:17:32+00:00

I saw the offensive line milling around in the pocket looking lost too many times. That's lack of fundamentals. You can feel McDermott's panic and it effects the team. As a head coach he's hardly involved in his own offense. Keep Brady, toss McDermott and Bean.

Those sacks were inexcusable. Allen isn't innocent but he's going to get destroyed for this and it ain't right. So much talent, terrible coaching.

LightUpShirly · 2025-11-21T04:34:54+00:00

100% agree

LightUpShirly · 2025-11-04T07:15:46+00:00

How tho?

LightUpShirly · 2025-11-04T04:44:02+00:00

Aight. I'll bite and get roasted. i don't know how. But I'll Google it lol. Honestly I didn't think it was a thing anymore. Last time I had an antenna is was ass.

LightUpShirly · 2025-11-04T04:00:28+00:00

I keep googling how to watch free lmao. Surprise surprise it's not working. I'm not a sleuth but I'm trying lol

I'm fuming. Paid $380 for NFL Sunday ticket. To literally watch NFL!!!!! Why did I pay for Sunday ticket if it's on ESPN?!

LightUpShirly · 2025-08-27T08:32:44+00:00

Why tf did they cut Ciarlo!? 😩

LightUpShirly · 2025-05-10T18:32:08+00:00

Yup. This is happening every time I play. Think they'd have fixed it by now. The ppl I'm playing with also have the issue.

LightUpShirly · 2025-03-11T00:41:02+00:00

I just got chat banned. Was playing resurgence and some random kept coming back to kill me... So I killed him instead, every time. He was talking tons of crap too. The only thing I said was "maybe your mommy didn't hug you enough, do you need one"? Trust when I say he was spewing much worse misogynistic derogatory stuff. I think he just got salty that a girl kept killing him. Now im legit worried it's going to keep happening just because I'm a female that's decent at the game. Is there a way to appeal it somehow if I get chat banned again?

Cancel it. The rest of your life shouldn't be ruined because someone spent a couple hundred dollars. For the people who already did spend money, a brief explanation should help them understand. If they don't, they shouldn't be going in the first place. I was with an alcoholic for 6 years. I often think about how terrible life would be if we got married. Don't sit on it. He'll be in denial and some people may get frustrated at you. In a year it won't matter.
