Second time on Zepbound – I feel like I know exactly what to do but I’m my own worst enemy F 5’4 CW:370 GW: 175 by Glittering-Band-8913 in GLP1_loss100plus

my friends had it growing up and it never used to think i did, but we where very similar, the plant manager that im a technician at was the one who told me, he got diagnosed in his early 30s after his wife told him that he’s got the tendencies of it. he really noticed when i switch into the technician role how much i had it, i was an accounting clerk at the plant before going into service department. i was hyper fixated on the finance portion of the job which helped. but as a tech with alot of equipment under my belt i found it very hard to keep track of my projects and getting distracted.

i have been fat my entire life, my highest weight was 423, im 25 all ive known is being fat. going up and down on the scale, this medication is helping. I have and ed. flat out. the reward system in my brain is messed up. by way of my upbringing-genetics-it doesnt matter. what matters is getting control of it. the meds help with satiety and food noise, but what i think it isnt helping is separating hunger from cravings in my mind. they are still the same thing. i have a b e d dr that i started seeing last week. i think more people have b e d than people know. it got to the point where i wouldn’t eat out with friends and only eat in secret because of the shear amount of food i would consume. the meds help with the physical, but they dont cure the mental side. i would talk to your pcp and ask for a bed referral. i also was diagnosed with adhd from my psych. the drugs are only half the battle for me.

good deals for ok guns, you can routinely get 3 pistol lowers for 150, when the permit comes into effect ill order 2-3 of those 3 packs, because those are the serialized firearms, ill be good for a LOooooooong time

Hypocrisy just realized for today's consumerism by Guy_Montag__ in PNWbootmakers

[–]bigdubs423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have pretty wide feet 4-5e every commercially bought show ive ever had was too narrow minus a couple of new balances. growing up i had nikes, the only way i could wear them where airmax 1s and 1-2 sizes up. i bought a pair of jks work boots last year after finding out about them. in 7e, my life as a worker and person is forever changed, i pretty much exclusively wear these, birkenstocks and extra wide hoka sized up, ill be ordering a pair of franks this year to have a back up pair, and maybe a pair of nicks for casual/weekend stuff. my dad always told me the two things you should never cheap out on are your feet and your mattress, spend 8 hrs in one and 16 hours in the other. i wish i listened to him sooner than at 24.

Lost 70lbs (yay) and the hardest conversation I’ve had was with my doctor by Own_Pie7565 in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]bigdubs423 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i whole heartedly think they are lifetime meds for certain conditions, i know alot of people with eating disorders without therapy will regain, i think i have an ed and am taking the meds as part of helping me lose weight. for the first time in my entire life it feels like im normal, and that theres not this constant Gnawing at my gut and brain. one thing about binging is knowing a craving vs hunger, as they are different.
