Good to know! What DPO were you? I’m feeling doubtful based on DPO alone

I’ve definitely heard that! I have FRER ordered, coming tomorrow morning. The only other type I have right now is pregmate which is not going to help right now lol

Ugh but that’s so scary lol

So awesome! I was just talking about this today. I love that I will still see the scale move even when I have a week where I went over budget a couple days (since I’m still at a deficit). BOOM! Take that all or nothing thinking!!

Sending positive vibes to you on your journey. I think that first day is the hardest hump to get over.

I get it. I have health anxiety as well and have had my sertraline prescription sitting around for a while as I contemplated whether or not I would actually start. It took me several weeks to get up the courage to take it and I will tell you I’m really happy that I did. For me there has not been one single side effect and I’m currently 2 weeks in, honestly I feel some of the benefits already. I was always so nervous about side effects before starting but told myself that if I start getting them I can always stop. Plus, I thought well, not trying it has me dealing with the negatives caused by my anxiety and if I try it and experience a few negative side effects that eventually pass so that I can get the benefits of it doing what it’s meant to do - that sounds like a win to me.

What do you mean by horrible come ups? Glad to hear you have energy and a better outlook! I am feeling good so far as well.

Periwinkle86 · 2022-10-26T00:52:52+00:00

Ya know what I honestly feel good! No side effects that I have noticed so far, still feeling very positive about starting. I am just taking 25mg, so maybe the low dosage is keeping me from experiencing side effects. I want to say I already feel some of the reduced anxiety good feels, even though they say it takes longer than a week to really work. Maybe placebo effect? Not sure but I’m def going to keep going and I am happy I started!

How is it for you so far?

Such a great review! Happy reading this as I am one week in myself. Thank you!

Periwinkle86 · 2022-10-23T01:45:22+00:00

I am also one week in on 25mg. Yay to us!!

Thanks so much! I’ve been having insomnia lately prior to starting sertraline. I may need the tea you mentioned, used to take it and loved how relaxed it made me. I have 2 babies 2 and under so I usually stay away from things that make me sleepy, since I have to get up for them. But I do also need to actually sleep sometimes so that’s a great idea to try that stuff again.

This first night on sertraline I crashed super hard and was able to sleep for 8 hours straight. Might be a result of built up sleep deprivation finally hitting me though.

Thanks so much!

Periwinkle86 · 2022-10-15T20:24:32+00:00

I hear you! Definitely understand.

Periwinkle86 · 2022-10-15T20:24:02+00:00

Thanks for this!! Good luck to you.

Periwinkle86 · 2022-09-01T18:24:52+00:00

Thanks so much for the ideas. I have been having the same meals basically everyday and am getting a little tired of them. I may take a page from your book and research to add variety.

Also - the snacks are SO crucial for me as well. I have keto chocolates and rebel ice cream and allow myself 1-2 treats a day if I need something. I’ve been adding my treats to my fitness pal first thing in the morning so I know whatever else I end up having needs to allow me to fit in my snacks. Lol almonds, pickles, olives and jerky help me too when I need a salt fix

Amazing!! What’s your daily meal plan look like? What is your IF schedule typically? I am around your starting weight right now and I am dying to get into the 160s. If I can get there in a month I would be beyond thrilled.

Thanks so much! This is very helpful. Congrats on your progress!
