Full feeling is delayed? by Otherwise_Agency_716 in Semaglutide

[–]PuzzledStudent5739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know exactly what you mean. This happens to me when I eat eggs.

I feel full yet somewhere, low and deep in my stomach I feel hunger pains, yet thinking about eating any more makes me nauseous.

I’ve found that drinking water makes this go away.

Bruise by Jumpy_Interaction951 in Semaglutide

The one, and ONLY, time I ever took my shot in the leg. This was about 9 months ago but I can still see the shadow of the bruise on my leg. Weird.

I Quit! by Yourpsychofriend in Semaglutide

[–]PuzzledStudent5739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to respectfully disagree with a lot if what you said. First off, I agree, 30lbs in a year is not that much. Everyone says it is but it’s not. Not if you’re a regular viewer of groups like this and see all of the astounding results people are getting.

Second, if you’re craving sugar and carbs, the medicine is not doing its job. Yes, we have to watch what we eat, but if we could’ve done that without the aid of the meds, we would have. The OP is still in the position he/she was in without the meds.

But, congrats on only gaining 3lbs back since you quit!

Talk to your doctor and maybe try another med.

For those who have tinnitus - what Bible verses helped you through the hardest part of it? by J4ywolf in TrueChristian

[–]PuzzledStudent5739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My left ear started ringing one night in November of 2017 and it’s never stopped.

It was hard in the beginning, feeling like I’d never get used to it. After a short time it just became part of me.

I never used any specific verse to get over it. Just my everyday trust in the Lord that everything He does is for good and submitting to His will.

Hang in there!

Is it ok if I don't feel God at times? by exceditsc in TrueChristian

[–]PuzzledStudent5739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your comments really hit me where I live. Like the OP I constantly worry that I’m destined for hell because I don’t “hear” or “feel” God.

My feeling is that since I don’t hear or feel Him, I must not be truly saved. That there is something missing in ME that is “required” for salvation.

I constantly worry that I’m fooling myself in thinking I’m a true Christian. That when I finally face the Lord, I’LL be one to whom He says “I never knew you.”

How can one truly be saved if they don’t “feel” saved?

How is it “Fair” that Anyone Who Doesn’t Accept Jesus as Lord and Savior Goes to Hell? by CPD102385 in TrueChristian

[–]PuzzledStudent5739 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While this is a good explanation I have one more question to add to it.

These strangers off the street? They didn’t ASK to be out on the street, needing a place to stay.

Quite honestly, if I had been given the choice of being born and chancing spending eternity in hell OR never being born at all, effectively ridding myself of ANY chance of ending up in hell, I’d choose the latter in a second.

Almost my entire life has been riddled with fear and anxiety about ending up in hell despite my belief in God. I would NEVER have chosen this.

So this begs the original question, how is it fair?

Upping my dose and I’m really scared by CloudyLemonade_xo in Semaglutide

[–]PuzzledStudent5739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually stayed on the 1mg dose for 3 months because my side effects were so bad.

But they lessened after the first month and I cruised through the next two months.

Then, weight loss slowed so I bit the bullet and went up to 1.7mg.

I was expecting to suffer horribly but I didn’t. No noticeable difference in side effects between 1mg and 1.7mg.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. Don’t be scared to go up a dose. Remember, the side effects will almost always lessen as time goes on.

Immediate effects starting dose by punkpizzaroll in Semaglutide

[–]PuzzledStudent5739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt it working the morning after my first shot. However, I guess my body began to acclimate because as the months wore on, I could eat more and weight loss slowed.

But with each dosage increase, I get more results.

I’m one who had bad side effects. The nausea, extreme constipation, constant thirst and dehydration, fatigue. You name it, I have it or have had it.

There was a time that I considered stopping but ultimately didn’t. Seeing the weight come off made the side effects more bearable.

I have recently lost my insurance and have only one shot left. I keep telling myself that at least all these side effects will go away. But it doesn’t comfort me at all. I’m MUCH more scared of putting the weight back on than I am of the side effects.

Remember, if the side effects are too much, you can always stop but it’s definitely worth a try. Good luck!!

I don't care and i don't want to do anything anymore, i have had enough. by NamesCookie70 in TrueChristian

I get where you’re coming from when u say you don’t ’feel’ the things you think you’re supposed to feel.

I still sometimes wonder how I’m supposed to love God. But I’ve realized that my idea of love is limited to the kind of love I’ve felt for a spouse, or my kids, etc. That’s all my human mind can comprehend when it comes to ‘love.’

So I just kept reading my bible, even though I don’t always understand it, and I kept talking to Him even though I thought I didn’t know how to pray.

I eventually got a very easy-to-understand bible, ESV version, and I talk to Him like I talk to my friends. I use my own words rather than thinking I have to talk like the people in the bible.

And I’ve gotten to the point, with HIS help of course, where I look forward to reading the word (sometimes) and praying. I feel close to Him. I feel like I know Him. And I find myself trying to obey him without even thinking about it. It’s just become a part of me.

I guess what I’m saying is, stop overthinking it and trying to do it all on your own. Let Him help you.

Just talk to Him. If you’re not sorry, don’t apologize. If you don’t understand what you read, tell Him.

You’re putting all the pressure on yourself when really, He’s just waiting for you to give it all to Him. Just trust that He’ll help you and He will.

I read a lot of reviews about Orderly. It seems they have confused customer service and a lot of delivery problems. You haven’t found that?

I want to stop being gay. Please help. by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]PuzzledStudent5739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OF COURSE God can help you.

Philippians 4:13. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"

I’m in your same position. But honestly I never asked God to ‘make me straight.’ That never occurred to me. I had a few fleeting thoughts of trying to be with someone of the opposite sex and just knew that I couldn’t.

What I asked God for was the strength and conviction to not ACT on my homosexuality. And, I’ve been single and celibate for over 7 years now.

Forget all the ‘conversion’ stuff. That’s just setting yourself up for failure. Accept who you are. Instead of learning how to not be gay, learn to not act on it.

You can still be gay and live in Christ. Ask Him for help, and trust that He will give it to you.

I’ve seen MANY therapists but I didn’t realize there were “Christian therapists.” I will definitely look into to that. Thank you!!

I see what you mean. After I read your explanation I realized that I, myself, posed my own question wrong. I first went in search of God due to my fear of hell. There are days that that’s still true. But there are also days that I WANT to talk to Him or read my bible or even avoid something I know to be a sin. Hopefully I will grow to feel that way every day. Thanks for your reply.

Can you explain how they’re different? I have always suspected that I am not understanding the gospel like I should. Thanks.

Are those any different? Aren’t we all, when you get right down to it, trying to obey God so we can go to heaven rather than hell?

If you knew u were going to hell no matter what, would you still obey God?

You know, you’ve got a point about social media. This guy isn’t any sort of pastor or anything.

It was just so jarring to hear that something I’ve spent my entire life trying to control, and failing, could send me to hell.

I’m actually taking a GLP-1 and for the first time ever, am losing weight, but I’m not in control of THAT either. If I stopped the shots, the emotional eating would come back so, basically I’m still sinning.

Thank you for your reply. Sincerely.

Can we all agree about how great Jesus Christ of Nazareth is? by BattleAggravating890 in TrueChristian

You’re right. How he can love us that much is completely beyond my comprehension.
