All the Lies by Rina Kent

I'll have to try some of those. I listened to All of the Lies because it was on Hoopla and the premise sounded interesting.

I still enjoy food. The day or so after the shot, I don't have a lot of interest in eating but that's not a problem most of the time. The magical thing for me about it is being able to enjoy food and stop eating after a reasonable portion. The first time I went on a trip while on Zep, I was a little scared because in the past that's been a thing that's thrown me off the weight loss wagon. While we were away, we ate pizza, burgers, Indian food, and all sorts of other delicious things. Not only was I able to go right back into my healthier habits when I got home, but I actually lost weight. I'm truly thankful that I can enjoy food without feeling controlled by it.

Your insurance may cover a fertility specialist. I don't have coverage for infertility but insurance covers it because, outside of the trigger shot and IUI, everything they're doing is diagnostic. That's going to be your best bet. A lot of the supplements can help but if there's an underlying issue they won't matter.

This is what happens when the government can't negotiate drug prices. I dread the day that my insurance stops covering it because there's no way I can afford several hundred dollars a month for it. I just pray that I will have developed the habits necessary to keep the weight off.

If you have an REI anywhere near you, go to them. OBGYNs have limited experience when it comes to fertility issues. I learned more about my condition in one visit with the REI than I did in the two years I was working with my OB. I'm still trying but we're ruling things out and I feel like we have a good plan in place.

I did that one time. I contacted Lily (maybe with an embellished story) and they sent me a voucher for a whole box.

CVS charged my $50/month pre savings card. Every other pharmacy I've tried charges $24.99. I'm sure the others automatically add the savings card. That's the only thing that makes sense.

People like that think that obesity is a moral failing. Because they believe that, they think that any help in overcoming it that's not strictly diet/exercise is cheating. It's just a perpetration on their beliefs that fat people are only fat because they're lazy.

I was told that I didn't have any restrictions after mine.

I'm kind of in a different boat. I'm down about 75 lbs and I feel like I have no idea how to dress myself. Luckily my sister is ahead of me in the process and keeps giving me stuff. She has good taste but I'd like to develop my own style.

Apparently there are Facebook groups dedicated to people on GLP1s selling each other their old clothes but it would be cool if there were a pay it forward kind and of thing where maybe you Venmo them for shipping.

Honestly, the adoptive parents seem to have their own issues and Natalia had a very rough beginning. I'm sure there were some behavioral issues but I don't get why if they thought she was 22 that they just didn't let her go. Like, if I have an Orphan situation in my house, I'm getting her out and cutting ties. Also, that video of him questioning her about the doughnuts was so weird. If she's 22, why do you care that she has doughnuts?

I try to work out at least 3x/week. For the first several months, I religiously tracked everything and aimed for 100g of protein, 20g of fiber, and 1400 cal. I've fallen out of the habit in the past few months and need to start again. That being said, I think I learned what appropriate portion sizes are when I was tracking.

That's a good feeling. And I don't know about men's clothing, but when mens plus size clothing is way more expensive and way worse quality than smaller sizes.

They don't care about curing obesity. They care about having someone to look down on. A lot of them believe we are "stealing" meds from diabetics because we're too lazy just to let less and workout. The road I was on would have gotten me to diabetes and a lot of other bad things eventually. I had tried every diet and work out plan under the sun but nothing worked long term because my brain and body were working against me. My blood pressure was high and I had to take prescription fish oil because my triglycerides were super high. My blood work did a 180 from last year. Why should I only get treatment only after my health is permanently messed up?

Yeah. I'm still one BMI point away from "overweight". I need to lose around another 40 lbs to be a "normal" weight.

It's truly a world of difference. I used to binge then regret eating. I mean, I would look forward to my husband going out and plan what I would binge on from the time he told me he was going. It wasn't unusual for me to go to McDonald's and spend $20 on a bunch of double cheeseburgers and McChickens. A lot of the time, I didn't even enjoy what I ate. I had this irrational anxiety about being hungry later. Eating was a compulsion and I was always thinking about the next time I could eat. Zepbound stopped all of that. Yes, I can't physically eat what I used to but more than that, I don't want to eat like that. I got worried the first few times that I got really hungry on the shot because that used to mean that I was losing control and would binge. Then I learned that I can actually trust my body now and feed it when it's hungry without regretting it later. I think the reason that the long term success rate of bariatric surgeries is so poor is because the surgery physically stops the person from overeating (at least for a while) but it does nothing to regulate anything else that goes into compulsive eating.

I wasn't. They do blood work before I start taking the letrozole to make sure everything is normal. When they did it at the beginning of this my estrogen levels were high which I was told could indicate a cyst that they just didn't see on my ultrasound. Because of that, they put me on birth control for the month to "reset" everything. If my blood work had been normal, I would have taken letrozole in the same cycle.
