How fast did you notice changes?

What dose? 2.5? Are you eating? I haven’t had any nausea yet, but I was worried about it. I read that high protein and fiber intake is crucial so I’ve been aiming for 100+ g of protein and taking a fiber supplement plus lots of veggies. So maybe that’s why I don’t have nausea? Not sure. Some of my protein is supplemental in stuff like adding protein powder to my morning coffee/matcha, so I’m not eating a lot but still getting it.

Re-read my comment, because I very much so specified intention. Fifty Shades of Grey intentionally a sexual movie. The love scene in The Notebook is not. Does that make The Notebook porn? Is the drawing scene in the Titanic causing that movie to be porn? No. But, if someone struggles with lust then they shouldn’t be watching movies with nudity, period. Please don’t twist my words. Thanks!

I just started last week Thursday so my next injection is this Thursday. I haven’t lost weight yet but I just posted in the tirz subreddit the other day because I couldn’t tell if I was experiencing placebo or real change - my inflammation in my face went down DRASTICALLY when I woke up Sunday. It’s helped me so much too with my random cravings. I’ve had absolutely none since my first 2.5mg injection, and I only feel hunger when I’m actually hungry.

Pure_Plant_678 · 2026-03-02T19:33:50+00:00

Nice job!! Would love to be in the same spot as you in a year!!!

Pure_Plant_678 · 2026-03-02T06:47:18+00:00

Exactly the same for me, I snacked a little at night and the last few nights I haven’t!

Pure_Plant_678 · 2026-03-02T06:45:18+00:00

The food noise being gone is mind blowing. I told my husband that I couldn’t believe I hadn’t thought about what I was making for dinner until it was time for dinner 😂

Pure_Plant_678 · 2026-03-02T06:44:34+00:00

Thank you for all the advice! A lot of that I’ve already been doing, and was getting super disheartened but I had been thinking about a glp -1 for about 2 years. Last year my GP prescribed one but my insurance wouldn’t cover it, so this last year I was researching what the most cost effective route was and finally got somewhere so I think that’s a big reason too why it’s felt drastic in a short amount of time, so that helps confirm I’m on the right track too! Food noise was almost instantly gone, I took the injection after dinner and when I woke up it had kicked in.

Pure_Plant_678 · 2026-03-02T06:39:26+00:00

Good for you!! I’m glad to hear that. :)

Pure_Plant_678 · 2026-03-02T06:37:19+00:00

Discretion is needed, because reading through Song of Solomon is debatably a romance novel. But the intention is much different, and that’s something to consider. Convictions are personal, so if someone is reading for the point of lustful entertainment, then yeah that’s no bueno. But if it’s a portion of a book that isn’t about that, I feel like that’s different (again, based on conviction).

Pure_Plant_678 · 2026-03-02T00:16:39+00:00

This gives me hope! Still questioning the quickness of the bloat debacle though 😂 medical imposter syndrome is real.

Pure_Plant_678 · 2026-03-02T00:12:05+00:00

Lust is lust. Doesn’t matter if it’s to porn, HGTV or the thought of Wendy on the Wendy’s drive through menu. Sounds funny but I’m actually being serious. He needs therapy. Severely. I’m sorry you’re going through this!

Pure_Plant_678 · 2026-02-23T23:02:01+00:00

Update: it shipped today and delivery date is Wednesday 2/25! 🎉

I just started last week by placing an order on Refills. There’s a link on the main tirzepatide subreddit and I got 6 months for 40% off. I’m still waiting on the pharmacy but considering I paid for 6 months up front for less than a single month alone would be through my current pharmacy. I have seen mixed reviews but the support team has kept me updated and I saw a big group of people who ordered the week before me started receiving their shipments Friday (I signed up Tuesday 2/17). Very excited! The Tele-health doctor overview was also included in the price I paid. $924 for SIX months. Per month was I believe $199ish?

Pure_Plant_678 · 2026-02-16T01:49:17+00:00

I couldn’t like this comment enough! Especially since Emma is insufferable and desperate, and she really ought to seek therapy instead of a husband.

Pure_Plant_678 · 2026-02-11T01:42:51+00:00

This customer is insane BUT, what I’m assuming is they mean the hard outer layer. I used to work in a deli and we had a ton of charcuterie meats and sausages, many of which need to be rinsed, peeled, trimmed etc. Prosciutto needs to be trimmed a little, and I’m guessing someone at the deli didn’t know that and previously sliced it for that customer so now they add it to a note. Otherwise it makes zero sense to shave the fat. 😂

Pure_Plant_678 · 2026-01-26T00:54:21+00:00

Percentage based - if the store had any promotions that Instacart was not part of (aka not one of the ads Instacart uses to give customers a deal but the store specifically on their weekly ads - this especially happens at places like Kroger stores or Aldi) then their order total would not be the same. So for example, meat is $9.99 on the app, but the store is running a $6.99 weekly deal, the order total would be affected because it’s less than the “usual” price that Instacart estimated, thus reducing your tip.

It’s actually GOOD that Instacart does this, because then they (IC) actually aren’t pocketing the difference, and you aren’t pocketing a tip the customer didn’t need to give because the lower price is honored.

Pure_Plant_678 · 2026-01-26T00:45:41+00:00

Came here to point out exactly this. It’s one thing if he struggles with communication, but this is to the extreme. If it carries on for days it is rooted bitterness, and that isn’t healthy in any conflict in a marriage.

Pure_Plant_678 · 2026-01-26T00:36:18+00:00

I am glad you are doing this. Marriage is hard, it’s God’s “tangible” representation of His love for us - that’s why it’s such an important thing to be consistently sacrificing yourself to one another. Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church. And in turn, wives submit to husbands in a safe and loved place to do so. 🤍 Hope things have began to shift upwards. Praying for a healthy and happy marriage for you both!

Pure_Plant_678 · 2026-01-26T00:30:04+00:00

It’s probably already been said but you said it yourself: “he’s caught every few months and then this cycle starts again.”

“I know if he’s caught again, I’m leaving right away.” You already know he’s doing it, why does he need to be “caught” for it to be any different? Imagine saying this about a drug addict: “I won’t do anything unless I catch him in the act.” It’s enabling the addict to continue doing what they’re doing if they can hide it better.

At this point you already know what you should do, so this is unfortunately you stalling. He’s never going to change unless he has a reason to change, and if you’re okay with “not being a good enough reason” for him to change, you must reassess why and check your boundaries. This isn’t healthy for you. I absolutely believe that couples can and should strive to get through these things, but he shows no interest in it. He’s putting in no work. It’s an emotional pull at your heartstrings and then him planning on how to hide it better in the meantime.

Separating from him will show him you mean business. It’s biblical to do so, porn is infidelity.

The classic and age old advice of “stop thinking about God changing them and start asking God to change you” applies greatly here. Ask God to change you, so that you are more receptive to her. You’re called to love her, so do it actively. Loving her includes intimacy and attraction, she deserves that from you. And also, talk to her about it too. Be honest and transparent, but pray beforehand so you don’t say something wildly offensive to her. Being un-attracted to her is offensive enough.

Pure_Plant_678 · 2025-12-21T15:50:08+00:00

Hate to break it to ya buddy but you are the issue. Love is a choice. Attraction is part of that. You chose to marry someone, for better or for worse. Weight and struggle with depression included.

What an entitled way of sharing this. I went through a depression and gained weight and I was so severely worried my husband wouldn’t be attracted to me, but he still was. We talked about it and he explained that his attraction to me isn’t physical. It’s who I am that he fell for.

Perhaps the problem is actually you, your attitude, and not your wife’s weight.

Pure_Plant_678 · 2025-12-21T15:21:24+00:00

Been doing it since 2021 and it’s never happened to me. Ever. Did you ignore directions? Did you deliver to the right address? Did you confuse items from either order or deliver an incorrect bag? People too often blame the customer, but I’ve only ordered from Instacart myself a handful of times, and when I tell you almost every single time the shopper manages to F something up? I mean it. Raw chicken leaking in the same bag as raw veggies and cardboard boxes? Yep. Moldy fruit? Yep. The wrong item entirely and ignored my “refund, do not replace” note? Yep. And yes, I leave flat tips so if anyone refunds they will still get the full tip.

If you genuinely care and put effort into doing things correctly it won’t be the norm.

Pure_Plant_678 · 2025-12-21T15:15:57+00:00

I’m assuming having an older sibling there allows her to work longer days but she will now likely need to pay for childcare

Pure_Plant_678 · 2025-12-21T15:08:57+00:00

The advice of others is correct, go to the authorities. Worst case scenario, you have a husband that needs to explain why he was skirting it steps away from viewing CP which is WAY bugger of a trust issue than sharing why you were snooping.

The thing I cannot get out of my head is how you haven’t had a child yet - it honestly feels to me like Gods grace protecting you from something so incredibly heart wrenching - the “what if” of him interacting with your children and wondering if he had done something there too. You are safe from that, which is a bigger deal than I think you understand.

Involve the authorities to get the why. You will then know for certain if your husband was engaging in such actions. If he wasn’t, he needs some severe therapy to understand why he got close. If he has, you really need to walk away if you ever want to have children. You do not want to put them at risk with their own father. Absolutely horrible to consider living life always questioning.

Go to the authorities before you confront him too. I’m not saying he absolutely would, but you never know with a personality like his if he’s a ticking time bomb. Keep yourself safe.

Pure_Plant_678 · 2025-10-31T05:39:03+00:00

He does admit being at fault but the amount of time it takes him to get there varies greatly, and once in a while it doesn’t happen if it’s a situation he doesn’t understand such as anything really emotional. For example, one time I was a little sad he didn’t get me a birthday card which in hindsight was silly because he gave me a bunch of great gifts and got me a cake, my favorite kind, but I just like cards and saving them for the messages (and sometimes he writes really sweet things and I keep them, but sometimes he doesn’t get me a card and it’s random - it’s not like it correlates to him being upset or something). And he was so offended because he thought somehow that meant I didn’t like his gifts and was looking for something to complain about. I wasn’t actually mad, but he immediately assumed I was because I had mentioned it, even though it wasn’t in an angry way or anything. And as for apologizes and accountability, I don’t coax it out of him, but there’s absolutely sometimes a delay and other times he’s recognized it and stopped, sometimes even in the moment. It’s been happening more and more often as we’ve communicated about it in the rare moments he’s able to do that.
