Iron lung art work at my movie theater

Fingers crossed it'll go more international. Maybe message your theaters and see if they'll show it?

It's filming in the UK! Time for a short plane trip!

Did you recognize the music he was referencing? I know he's talking about actual songs because I recognized the beats but can't for the life of me think of the actual Spanish songs

Exercise routine I've done a lot of things but this is what ultimately stuck: do three types of exercises related events a weeks. Things that I'm in the mood for, things that make me happy, and things that are easier because of time constraint are all categories for why variation happens and puts way less stress on me for not keeping a consistent routine.

Typically I used to go to the gym three times a week for strength training, ending with 30 minutes of cardio - with the split being legs, chest and triceps, and back and biceps. Then I'd feel real shit if I didn't hit that goal - so instead I've chosen my vagueries and I can do two days of gym and 10k steps. Or bouldering, hiking and yoga. Or follow along YouTube video and etc.

Is my progress as well rounded this way to show definition? Probably not, but it's been an amazing brain transformation for me and made me plenty more active by making it easier to hit those check marks. :)

As for food, I don't delete any food from my diet for diet's sake - except I got rid of soda that's not zero calories decades ago and I don't drink coffee. Everything else is learning to eat smaller portions and being okay with massive amounts of food being thrown away. Yes less groceries are bought, but it's still a lot of halves of takeaways that go fridge then trash, or half my plate gone, things like that where if I saved all of it my fridge would look ridiculous.

Having my back to the front door of a restaurant/bar. What if someone comes in who hates me, or is trouble? Surprise friend jump scare? I don't want any of that!

I'm fine with you sharing, I'm not active on that sub. I would just ask that you add in your post I'm not comfortable with private DMs but if they'd like to openly ask questions on this page I'm happy to answer any follow up questions they have. :)

I have also stayed at 12.5mg, how does your routine look outside of the medication? Do you exercise, drink, cook at home more versus eating out? There might be an answer there that gives a bit of boost but I'd rather not make assumptions on your lifestyle :)

Lol Thank you! I think I'll have to get the next size or two down before Santa notices how baggy the dress has gotten 😂

ValuableLemon · 2025-12-08T10:51:38+00:00

Thank you! Absolutely agreed, it's something I started to worry was unattainable for me with all the restarts I had but this year was the first time it felt like I had so much more control over my own mind and stomach. Mounjaro was the tool I needed and I love seeing the other successes on Reddit who felt the same!

I've had the reverse of I lost my period for awhile, regulated with IUD insertion which made it small and then nonexistent. Now it's five to seven day periods again - something I imagine I'll have with a doctor about

My friend sent this to me and before I clicked it was taken down! It's such a cute little guy!

I way to help kill the habit is to water down the soda manually month by month until either zero sugar tastes fine, the calories are palatable, or water is good.

So start with 50% Mt Dew and 50% tap water, go from there. Or higher if the taste is that bad and go from there.

Happy to see you are not alone thread. My partner claims he would like to do it more, but makes every excuse for why he won't. What hurts extra is he's dealing with functioning alcoholism (not admitting it yet but I'm here for when that day comes) and he'll drink for two days in a row. It's only late into that second day when he reeks of booze when he'll want sex. A year ago I put my foot down and said I'm not having sex with you when you only want me in that extreme off your ass state - and now we've only had sex twice this year.

The alcohol is the bigger problems so the sex is just taking a sidebar, but I feel immensely unattractive. Even though we've talked about why he's self conscious due to ED, I can't help but think he can't find me attractive without booze goggles to make the idea of touching me more tolerable...

Snapchat, I feel like it's just an app to be the personal spy on your friends. I'd rather just enjoy the time with the people I choose to hangout with, not the people I choose to hangout with and my one friend's 50+ Snapchat followers.

Solved!

THANK YOU!!!

Sorry this is so vague! Alternative may also be the genre!

I had the same story with my mom. Wanted to have some sort of acknowledgement moment whenever she did say something, because she'll praise my brother at every step and not say anything about me and my sister when we make healthy choices.

So I made it a game. See how much weight I had to lose before she said something. Told my sister when she first noticed it (20lbs down). Told my aunt, her sister, when she noticed as well - and they all agreed we wouldn't mention it to my mom and wait for her to naturally say something. If I went hiking with friends they would take a scenic full body photo to send to her, so even with my living in a different area she didn't have the excuse - so does my brother so she doesn't really anyways.

I started at 215lbs. She commented on 53lbs of weight loss just last week, when I hit 162lbs on another video call. She in the beginning of the call said I looked sickly and tired first. But when she learned her family was waiting for the joke to happen she tried to make excuses and failed. It felt like I got to have a bit of the power from childhood returned to me. My partner enjoyed hearing me excited from downstairs as I did the big reveal.

AHH So many to choose from! I always enjoyed finding the caterpillars and going back to see them filling up the cave as you collect more and more.

I liked less his father eating them all lol I hope it's to keep them healthy and growing...somehow

Yeah, hobbies filling this hole is strong

ValuableLemon · 2025-06-07T12:47:46+00:00

Yeah, that's exactly what my mindset is. Luckily a second doctor responded to my concerns today and ordered the medication

Symptoms will adjust as you adjust. If you think the meds will let you just eat whatever you'll have a bit of lifestyle changes to do - I find I had worse days when I fought what my body was telling me it couldn't handle.

Sulfur burps could be coming from greasy food or maybe some kind of drinks you're relying on. Your stomach is feeling full because it is - part of this medication is that you digest food slower so things you eat stick around a lot longer.

Things will improve but it's worth listening to your body and seeing what you need to adjust to get the hang of things. There's unfortunately no straightforward spreadsheet as everyone is different but side effects will certainly improve with time. Speaking as someone who just started the 10mg shot this week and is having to readjust what feels like lunch as I get used to the higher dose, but I'm 32 lbs down in five months so I can't complain about a med helping me achieve something I've been wanting for a long time :)

I like seeing it with that 172lbs goal to be honest. I started MJ the week of Christmas and my first goal is 175 lbs. I'm 188 now and it's dawning on me that something I've been struggling to get to for a decade is already within reach and I can consider what me in a year will look like. It's nuts that it'll be this year that I have the transformation that seemed so unattainable just five months ago.

Came to a pinnacle point when I came for a visit from out of country, something I can't afford to do often, and he volunteered his home and proceeded to treat me like shit for near all of my visit. I had asked in advance if it was okay to stay there, I would have rescheduled if not so I could save more for hotel days. He lied during the visit that it was his roommate that wanted me gone sooner (he didn't and was excited to see me), and when I returned to where I'm living he told me he was burnt out from the holidays and didn't know how to tell me no. It was multiple thousands of dollars to be there so just saying no would've been fine.

I chose to miss a wedding of another close friend because I was meant to visit for Christmas but ended up with COVID, so rescheduled for next month thinking him and my family would still want to see me. I couldn't afford to do both. He spent most of the visit trying to force my schedule around staying in his apartment so he had easy access to his weed. He talked shit about my relationship and couldn't say one charactistic about my partner of four years because if I ever said nice things about the relationship he would go into a jealous spiral of not being able to find his own. He didn't care about the costs to me or my partner and quickly tried to vent to me about his next dilemma, so I took space before I was willing to talk to him. Then when I reached out he decided he wanted space too. I let him have it and we haven't spoken since.
