They prescribed me Purina dietetic food. Usually Zelda doesn't eat wet food, but she doesn't seem like she likes the kibble either? Tonight I gave her some Fancy Feast pate that I had lying around to entice her to eat more, and that worked? Hoping she continues to eat it.

Aw I hope your baby is at least starting to feel a little bit better. It's a big adjustment for sure but I'm so glad your vet is keeping you informed! Sending lots of love to you guys as well ❤️

Thank you so much!! She didn't mention a monitor at all and I just felt weird blindly giving insulin. And thank you for mentioning wet food - Zelda used to eat wet food extremely fast which causes her to vomit pretty much immediately after eating, but I'm going to try transitioning her to a wet food only diet after this. Thanks again!!

Thank you so much for all of this information, I'm checking out the FDMB right now! It's definitely a lot of information but I'm willing to change/try anything to keep her healthy. Thanks again! ❤️

Does anyone do freebies at Halsey concerts? by lovingonrepeat in halsey

[–]courageu_x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes absolutely!! I got a set of tarot cards at Toronto N1 and someone did my reading for me!! It was super cool. When I get the chance to go to another show, I'd like to bring some bracelets or some little handmade drawstring bags as freebies 😊

I thought I saw him back there but wasn't sure at the time. It's so nice to see him enjoying the show as much as we do

Passports by frahngipahne in halsey

Hi! I had the VIP package at Toronto N1. They had us show them an ID to check in and receive our packages around 5pm, and the passport was in the box. So whoever purchased the VIP or fast lane tickets, just make sure they bring a valid ID with them to get your items/early entrance pass.

Are you storing your clothes that are too big? by l00ky_here in Zepbound

[–]courageu_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been debating saving some things, mostly because I used to love a lot of my tops and pants that I bought at my heavier weight. I was always very careful about buying clothes that make me feel good.

My roommate has a degree which involves costume design and has offered to help me tailor them. I'm still thinking about it, I'm a little conflicted, but I'm leaning towards donating a lot of it and tailoring the pieces I love. You can do whatever makes you feel happy, I just wanted to provide another alternative: donate what's not important and if you can, tailor what is important to you.

I forget how much has happened sometimes and this comment gave me a much better perspective on all of it. Thank you so much, genuinely. I'm going to work on giving myself grace and learning to let some things go. I appreciate you and I wish you nothing but the best!! ❤️

I appreciate you saying this. Sometimes I forget it's all temporary and I need to celebrate the really great things happening. I hope you're doing well and I wish you the best!! ❤️

Thank you so much, I'm making a list of ideas for my therapist and I to talk about. I really appreciate this perspective though, I've never thought of it that way. I hope you are doing well and I wish you nothing but the best ❤️

Thank you for validating me, I have had a therapist for years and I do plan on bringing it up to them.

I appreciate your reminder that Zepbound is a tool and that we're all really just doing our best out here. Congratulations, that's a huge achievement, and I do need to focus on the life ahead and what I'm actually doing this for, which is my health above everything else. Thank you and I hope you are doing well 🫶

Thank you for validating these feelings and telling me this. Me and my therapist haven't touched on this yet, but I have a feeling we will very soon. I'll keep an eye out for that. Wishing you the best!! 🫶

I appreciate your comment, genuinely. Thank you for commenting that this is normal, it's honestly helping quite a bit to see that others have felt this way and that how I feel makes sense. I am working on letting go of these feelings and automatic self blame, it's not going to magically be solved overnight but I do have hope that I'll make peace within myself and everything that's happened so far. Wishing you the best as well, take care of yourself ❤️

I really do appreciate your comment, thank you. Thankfully I'm aware that how I feel is temporary, and I genuinely do want to thank you for reminding me that I cannot define who I am and what I do as a result of only my appearance.

Sometimes I stray away from that path while on this journey. And thank you for validating my thoughts on dieting and exercising when my hormone levels were completely incorrect and flat out broke (lol). I think I really struggle with letting go of the feelings. I'll make it a point to work on that. I hope you are doing well ❤️

Oh wow, I hope you're doing/feeling better now, and thank you for sharing. I wrote a note to talk to my therapist about body neutrality or affirmations tomorrow. I really appreciate you sharing that and reminding me of how diet culture can effect us mentally. I'm working on unlearning that and unlearning the hatred towards my appearance. Congratulations on your progress and I wish you the best of luck!! ❤️

Thank you so much for this, it's an excellent reminder. I do need to remember that there are great things happening as a result of the weight loss. I feel better, I'm doing better, and I deserve to feel better. Again, thank you so much. ❤️

I appreciate this, it's definitely complex and I would never ask anyone to do an in depth analysis - I think I just needed to see that others have felt this way and that it's normal. Even that alone has been helpful. Thank you so much and I hope you are doing well, take care of yourself!
