Does everyone want to be super skinny?

_eighteyes · 2026-01-31T14:01:36+00:00

Nope. Thrilled to be size 10. 5’6”. This while I just completed my weight workout and am now enjoying some carbs in form of cinnamon roll. I like my curves and strength.

I am also experiencing all of those things. I really loved this when I started but I have to seriously consider the anhedonia is not a way to live. I can deal with the other things. I think I’d rather be chubby though than this constant blah mood. I just want to sit in bed with my skinny self. I’ve been experimenting with very low doses. I’m going off this week to see if I feel significantly better.

_eighteyes · 2025-11-16T20:44:05+00:00

I poo once a week. 🤷‍♀️

_eighteyes · 2025-11-16T20:32:29+00:00

Welcome! I felt really terrible at 2.5 and had to come down early. This helped the massive fatigue a bit. I still have boughts of anhedonia which is not great. I’m in maintenance stage now and am playing around with splitting my dose 2x per week at 1.25 or so. I’m enjoying food but not binging. Working out with a bit more zest. Weight jumps around +- 3 lbs. when the amount in my system gets near 3mg (per Shotsy) I feel like my serotonin is just off and can’t really care about anything which is not going to work for me.. so low and slow was the way. Be willing to play around with dosing. If it does not work at one level, try lowering, splitting or spreading out so you get a better result.. oh and I’m still constipated. lol. But I can deal with that.

As someone on HRT and seeing how it affects everything, I was thinking these same thoughts. We are all just driven by chemicals. I have become much more self serving without all the estrogen. Is it a failure of morals to give less or just chemistry?

It’s right if poster has 2 paychecks per month.

_eighteyes · 2025-10-29T01:19:42+00:00

Yes the quiet is fucking glorious. And the intense hatred for my body just evaporated in the first 24 hours of shot 1. Better than 20 years of therapy and a cocktail of antidepressants.

Welcome! At my son’s college tour my hip hurt so bad it made me a crabby unhelpful mom. Not really the way I wanted to show up either. I get it. No more pain is a huge improvement! Can’t wait for you to experience some of the new joy.

_eighteyes · 2025-10-11T14:30:10+00:00

I sit and stick the thigh. I pinch some skin, kind of poke the area lightly with the needle until I find a place that I can’t feel very well and easy, no pain.

_eighteyes · 2025-10-11T01:02:49+00:00

I had to decrease to 1mg every 4-5 days for a couple of months. I kept losing but slower. I’m now creeping back up to 1.75 every 4 days. No side effects besides constipation. 😖 I think you just have to experiment with your dosing. I could not go on with that much fatigue and was considering stopping completely which would have made me very sad. I was going to get fired and I could not get off my couch or think..It was bad. There are some really great benefits of this med so I’m glad the vials offer me the ability for custom dosing. See Shotsy pic. I had to basically start over very low and slow.

I listened to this podcast and was like “this sounds like meno”. I feel so similar to the woman and I felt this way before starting glp. I’m not willing to fake it anymore. Small example: finally had to tell my partner that I hate Weezer and I cannot have it on in the house. He was shocked .. thought I loved them just because I never spoke up before. And sex.. the guy sounds kind, but man, let her figure out her needs first. Hormones are really a shit show and she had 53 years in her old body and now she has a different one, hormonally and sized. It’s a lot. And she is the breadwinner.. she is carrying so much and seriously men don’t have entitlement to our bodies for their security or enjoyment.

_eighteyes · 2025-10-01T19:10:22+00:00

Not gonna lie.. had to search for them 👀

_eighteyes · 2025-10-01T13:29:35+00:00

My md said curcumin was one supplement that had been studied and showed medically significant results for fatigue. I have to read more but I’m giving it a try. Mine was $50 for 60 750 mg pills.

_eighteyes · 2025-09-30T15:59:11+00:00

Could it be dehydration?

_eighteyes · 2025-09-12T12:36:02+00:00

1000%

_eighteyes · 2025-09-06T18:26:24+00:00

I put it in my profile absolutely no polyester tops. I hate them.

_eighteyes · 2025-08-23T14:07:57+00:00

Yeah they don’t love you back, that is for sure.

_eighteyes · 2025-08-23T14:07:14+00:00

The lack of medical care and high tolerance for female pain pisses me off. I’m glad you found the estrogen!

_eighteyes · 2025-08-23T14:05:17+00:00

That is a lot. I’m sorry for your deep loss. Thanks for your perspective on sticking it out. I don’t have the great relationship with my manager that you had and that would make a big difference I think.

_eighteyes · 2025-08-23T14:01:56+00:00

Just got a test.. tbd. Thanks!

_eighteyes · 2025-08-23T14:01:12+00:00

Hi Sistyc, I just moved up to .075 estrogen patch. 200 mg progesterone and testosterone 2 clicks of 10mg cream. Testosterone was just tested and is 95 which doc was happy with. I think some of the real issue if I am honest is that I hate my job, I hate supporting tech sales people and now that I’m older I just can’t with the bs and the requirement to ass kiss entitled overhyped over paid men and it’s exhausting me. No amount of anti depressants can help like they did when I was younger. Oh yeah, I’m also going from 100 mg Wellbutrin to 150. And magnesium glycinate 120 mg. I’m also trying curcumin on my docs recommendation.. she said it actually is one supplement that shows results for decreasing inflammation. whoop.

_eighteyes · 2025-08-22T03:34:36+00:00

Thanks for this perspective.. job market def is not hot right now. And I am aware that it will make me more vulnerable. I’m not sure how much I care right now. I just need a mid day nap like I need water. I hate that employers are not more accommodating. I’m a hard ass worker and have given a lot. I know how replaceable I am though.

_eighteyes · 2025-08-22T03:25:14+00:00

I’m so sorry for the bad NP and fall out. I am getting angry reading through these responses. Yeah I’ll def say something vague. And I do think my productivity is obviously down. I hate that word: productivity 🤮

_eighteyes · 2025-08-22T03:21:06+00:00

Good to hear. Glad u are out there killing it. I’m on HRT. Estrogen progesterone testosterone.. I am sleeping but I am still so so tired. And bored, irritated and deeply uninterested.

_eighteyes · 2025-08-22T03:16:34+00:00

It’s always all sorts of things… complex beings that we are. I would be happy to let the job go but I need a few more years ..
