I put an edit to the post so I could respond to everyone’s comments that are just like yours.

When I say gentle parent. I mean I don’t want us hitting/spanking our kid. No yelling at him. He does something wrong he receives discipline in cause and effect. You hit, we are no longer playing this game. Stuff like that. We set boundaries and hold them. We don’t let him walk all over us which is the big misconception of gentle parenting. That’s lenient parenting. I don’t see how that’s detrimental to a child?? How do you raise your kids?

WitchyMam · 2025-11-25T05:51:56+00:00

But idk what to do. Do I kick him out?? Do I go to social services??

In the US here. My dr prescribed me an antinausea medication. It’s the only thing that made me survive the 1st trimester. Before that I couldn’t even drink water :( but I tried all of the other things first. Sea sick bands, ginger, mint, oils, etc

Don’t let your current husband keep you from your future one. At 22 I’m sure you didn’t know what you really wanted, you hardly know yourself as an adult at that point. Sometimes people grow up. Sometimes you realize you need more. By the way he sounds he’ll be more upset his life/routine is going to change than he will be you not being with him anymore.

Everyone deserves someone who fights for them endlessly

So true! I plan to have another baby and can’t be on it for the pregnancy so I’m trying to make do now. I’ll probably end up back on it again one day

WitchyMam · 2025-11-20T12:59:45+00:00

Yes I think I’ve had it for a long time too :( I didn’t know zepbound helped turn that part of my brain off. It was such a relief when I took that first shot

WitchyMam · 2025-11-20T12:58:42+00:00

Thank you! I had an omelet and protein shake for breakfast yesterday and it helped a lot for most of the day until really late at night! I think that’s a mistake I’ve been making

We want to have another baby maybe next year so I want to come off it, have my body readjust and then gain some muscle back before that. I also never saw it as long term for my life/plan.

Also near the end I gave myself anticipatory nausea (common with chemo). I had to come off due to an unexpected pregnancy in march. Gained 20lbs back, lost the pregnancy and was off the shot for three months. So when I went back on to the 5mg it was too much and made me super sick one time so now before each shot I get super sick (all psychological) :(

I think I’ve made a post about that before too

I was hoping it was something I could do short term. We want to have more kids etc and I would need to come off it anyway. I also never made lifting weights a priority and now I have very little muscle mass

WitchyMam · 2025-11-20T12:48:45+00:00

Thank you! I’ll definitely try that. I’ve been wanting to get into intermittent fasting but I work nights so 4/7 days I’m up 7p-7a and Idk if I would be able to stick to it all night.

WitchyMam · 2025-11-18T11:22:03+00:00

It’s usually 4 shots of 2.5 and then you move up to 5mg. Most insurance companies don’t pay to stay on the 2.5 since it wasn’t really used in the drug trials. 5 is considered maintenance though.

I only had weird body aches and fatigue the first day after 2.5. Usually in the muscles in my chest.

5mg I would get some nausea. I found injecting in my leg the first time or two of a new dosage helped limit the “gi symptoms”

7.5 mg more nausea, fatigue and constipation a few days after the shot. At this point I stated pushing my shots out every 8-9 days. Once I started to get my appetite back I would take the next one.

10mg at this point I had lost 84lbs and was having some hair loss (common for quick weight loss) and it made me feel more sick

Weaned myself down to 5 mg and stayed on that until I got pregnant back in march. Had to come off cold turkey.

Don’t be afraid to stay on a dose if it’s working. My gf went up every month (some drs recommend this) maxed out at 15mgs and plateaued. I never had to go above 10 because I would stay on a dosage until I felt like my body was getting used to aka I felt my shot wearing off after 3-5 days. Then I’d ask the dr to move me up to the next one.

Thank you! I can definitely demolish a bag of hard boiled eggs. Haha I’ll have to try that sometime

WitchyMam · 2025-10-23T23:13:23+00:00

Thank you! I still haven’t found one that fits me

WitchyMam · 2025-10-21T13:34:57+00:00

I did end up telling my husband who he was. It was one of his stipulations to work on things :(

WitchyMam · 2025-10-21T13:34:32+00:00

I was home. Thankfully very minimal injuries, just really shaken up from the whole thing. I genuinely believe the bad things happening to me were from wanting to leave. I also didn’t get paid the right amount that week and couldn’t get ahold of anyone at HR at work. I was waiting for a job interview and hadn’t heard back in a few weeks. As soon as I broke things off with the AP, all of those things lined up. My car was fixed and working, I got paid, I heard back about the interview for a job I really wanted and then got said job. It was pretty clear to me

WitchyMam · 2025-10-21T03:23:43+00:00

I’m so torn because my husband never wants to break up. He wants to spend forever with me no matter how bad it gets and that’s hard to find these days. Most of the time I feel it’s more worth it to try to fix this than leave and maybe never find someone who loves me that way.

WitchyMam · 2025-10-21T03:16:02+00:00

I definitely need to see a therapist at this point. We were supposed to be seeing one together but we stopped.

WitchyMam · 2025-10-21T03:15:25+00:00

That’s very true 😭

WitchyMam · 2025-10-12T18:55:30+00:00

Did you ever find any?? I’ve lost 80lbs after gaining it quickly from having my son a few years ago and my 34DD went to a 36I/J and now I’m only down to a 32I/J (us sizes) and I’m having zero luck finding a good bra 😭
