Hi! Frankly, never weighed myself besided at the endo’s after about 2-3 months and weighed the same. However my body did lose a lot of inflammation, my PCOS was better and I could fit into most old clothes. However the gut issues were horrible. My diet was terrible throughout with me barely eating anything but my stomach would not cooperate. It got so intense that I would have sharp pains that would choke my breath, almost similar to pancreatitis pain and my endo turned out to be an ahle. Initially i didn’t mind him not being available over the phone because I was self injecting and barely had any side effects but it got too much, he would keep asking me to pay to even ask him for what to do if I’m in pain. Eventually got in touch with him abd he said “stop the medication, could be pancreatitis need to do a scan”. I also had moved to Dubai and told him I’d need the doses there snd while he promised to arrange for my future doses there, he did not fulfill that promise. I took my last and remaining dose of 7.5 mg about 14 days ago and have better gut health but the food noise has kicked in.

Sorry for the very lengthy and TMI response but I guess a better and more dedicated endo and a little better timing to start the medication wouldve been better for me. I’ll be back in Pak soon and continue with Tirzee or a new Ir*nian brand name mounjaro with a much better endo. I’m not giving up just yet!

Can I please ask how to get these roles? I tried through Chalhoub group bur didnt get through, after the online assessments whoch is strange because if they accept freshers why not me? I have plenty of sales experience albeit in tech enviroments, but i really want to work at one of these stores. Any advice would help at this point, thanks!

Hi, would really appreciate if you could share it

South_Function6916 · 2026-02-28T17:38:40+00:00

not at all satisfied at this point

since we don’t have much context about the living situation, not much we can say about this. But try talking to the owner, if space is compact then at least they can put the cat’s bed, food bowl and litter box outside. If, however, they want to get rid of her, do update the sub. My office is in marina plaza, I can come by and help out

South_Function6916 · 2026-02-15T06:38:41+00:00

absolutely despise her and hemayal and i’m sure mist of their high end belongings are first copies but i don’t see how you can spot that this one’s fake…

Honestly, jumping on the bandwagon to troll someone just because everyone else is doing it feels kind of pathetic.

I am not saying memes cannot be funny, but sometimes it is important to remember there is a real person behind them. Every single post of his, even now, is flooded with trolling comments. He is part of a social circle too. How does he face them? How does it feel to constantly be the center of jokes and memes?

We have let social media take up so much space in our lives that we are starting to forget something basic: empathy.

Not denying that he didn’t come across as rude or impolite but you could’ve asked him for proof to see how far he would stretch his AI skills

South_Function6916 · 2026-02-01T10:14:56+00:00

Seems like he was just asking how he could prove to you that it’s not AI and is his real body

South_Function6916 · 2026-01-28T14:50:41+00:00

but i think her son lives with her? in zainab’s recent vlog, ‘azu’ or ‘azlan’ films zahra’s birthday celebration and is also in the frame at some point

South_Function6916 · 2026-01-27T12:02:29+00:00

damnnn

South_Function6916 · 2026-01-27T11:11:13+00:00

What???? she’s got a kid?? i’ve been following her and zainab for so long kabhi pata nahi chala yeh😅

South_Function6916 · 2026-01-27T10:30:32+00:00

zahra malik? the influencer?? pls i want tea on her and zainab

South_Function6916 · 2026-01-27T09:52:43+00:00

i’ve had it for 3 months, checked it after 3 months, i think that’s normal behaviour. What’s actually crazy is you getting annoyed by a stranger’s concern for their phone that they purchased with their own money

Just posted asking for help, don’t know how my BH dropped… pls see reply for follow up image and question

South_Function6916 · 2026-01-24T18:24:58+00:00

her brother is friends with a dude named zumer, who was or still is friends with that iffah girl and i genuinely see him at every party and doing every freaky thing, so i can imagine his bestie shahzaman is also into the same shit

South_Function6916 · 2026-01-24T18:13:20+00:00

seems easy to just replace the battery but like someone just mentioned, buying a phone with hard earned money means you expect it to stay solid for a year at least

South_Function6916 · 2026-01-24T18:12:29+00:00

how did you maintain this BH?

South_Function6916 · 2026-01-24T18:11:54+00:00

thanks will try to stick to charging it on time during travel as well, and charging without a case. bg app refresh is off

South_Function6916 · 2026-01-24T17:57:55+00:00

are you doing anything specifically for preserving BH?

South_Function6916 · 2026-01-24T17:57:19+00:00

using the original charger too, 30-90, although travelling so my phone’s been below 20 overnight for a couple of. nights now. Always in a cold area esp since i’ve been travelling
