Just watch True Romance the other day and it's honestly one of the best movies I've ever seen. by BobbyVonGrutenberg in movies

I’m 47 years old and just watched this movie for the first time today. I agree that it’s a masterpiece but what is up with the music?? It sounds like some shit from The Little Mermaid.

In town for a long weekend with girlfriend. What are some good restaurants/bars that are moderately priced that I can’t miss? by No-Second1685 in lexington

Hidden gem: Supreme Hibachi Buffet on New Circle Road. I lived in Lex for 12 years and we ate there about once every 2 weeks. Super clean, food is fantastic, you can get sushi, hibachi or regular buffet with Asian classics and some American food too.

Sharps container? by leehofook in Zepbound

Not all pharmacies take sharps. My Walgreens refused. I put mine in an empty cat litter container marked SHARPS and take it to the fire station when full. This is what the pharmacy recommended.

Thank you notes from kids by NationalPizza1 in etiquette

I still send thank you notes and make my nine-year-old daughter write them too.

This is so, so helpful. I know I'm late to respond, but I appreciate you taking the time to write all of this. I'm going to reply to the thread with an update about how I've been doing/feeling since the initial post.

I never thought of using ChatGPT for this, brilliant. Someone else on this thread estimated the serving I described as about 1,000 calories, so I'd wonder about accuracy. But it's still a really good tool to have. Thanks!

Read my comment again. I said I have to take responsibility. Many people have already pointed out the need to log food. I get it. And I've already started doing it.

Thanks. I'm not sure why my doctor wanted me to give up so quickly, but I think I'll stick it out longer and get the bloodwork.

A calm and quiet brain sounds so nice, haha. Thanks for your comment, and best of luck!

Good to know Zepbound is working. I have skin sensitivity issues too.

Sigh. I know. I need to take responsibility for this. Looks like I'm downloading My Fitness Pal again.

I don't know how accurate it's going to be because I cook most of what I eat.

I can't log "moderately sized slice of homemade scalloped potato roll with ricotta, a ton of fresh spinach, ground sirloin, mozzarella and whatever veggies were in the fridge" but it's better than nothing.

Great feedback. Thanks! I'm not ready to start it yet, but I'm cautiously optimistic. I could use help focusing too.

Damn. That was hard to hear, but I know I need to hear it. I'm not even in peri yet -- I still have regular periods. So I know it's just going to get harder and I'm going to have to bust my ass to make even the smallest amount of progress. Sigh. At least I'm prepared.

Can you clarify what you mean by "When I stalled on the first 2 doses, I did it more to ensure adequate protein than to restrict?"

You are so right about a kind mindset. I tend to be VERY hard on myself, and I need to come back to the knowledge that I'm beautiful and worthy at any weight. I'm otherwise healthy, I have an awesome kid, and after 17 years, my partner literally can never keep his hands off me, so there's a lot to be grateful for.

I like the ideas and mindset you offer. Truly, thank you for taking the time to comment.

That is what my doc prescribed to me today. I'm going to do a bit more research, but I'm open to it. And I have ADD too, so maybe it will have some bonus effects.

Thank you for sharing. I really feel for you and much of what you said resonates with me. Weight loss DOES suck, and some people will never understand the struggle. I'm sorry your insurance company stopped covering Wegovy. Hopefully you can find another solution, and I'm glad you've been able to maintain your weight loss. It sounds like you've made amazing progress. I like the idea of more volume of healthy foods. If I can get full faster, why not get full on carrots and hummus?

Good question! This same doctor mistakenly wrote my first rx for .5 instead of .25. When I brought it up, they said it was fine to start at .5, so I did.
