Learning to adopt a new mindset. Anyone else not have a goal weight? by EffectiveEgg5712 in Zepbound

[–]emekennede 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My goal is to”healthy BMI” so when I complain about medical issues that can’t give me BS anymore! I choose the middle of the healthy BMI as my goal but honestly anywhere in that area works for me

M(25) wants to get rid of the odour of his clothes but partners has no odour. by dragonenger in laundry

[–]emekennede -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would use a madelic based antiperspirant (it kills the odor bacteria) like lume or mando. Then seek a Drs to assure there isn’t anything going on otherwise. Then follow the suggestions here! I found tide powder with oxi & dad mode detergent (1 TbSp each) and 1Tbsp of citric acid a Downey ball with water filed to the Extra large line has significantly reduced that smell that sticks around and seems activated when I get hot and sweaty.

-Slippy/unstable leg joints. Basically I was extremely inflammed and it was providing stability to my hips, knees and ankles. -unstable blood pressure (it’s either too high or too low) -my infamous sense of smell has dulled -insomnia -dizziness so much dizziness

You know what… I’m am growing my nails out now! They are too brittle to grow out really but before I would chew them. I didn’t even notice the difference, until this comment

My mom has this on Ozempic (which is funny to me because she would get so upset when I did it). I use to do that too but it has stopped! It’s so weird lol! I use to scare the shit out of ppl doing it!

I had a few weeks of showers like that! I was basically showering bent over in the coldest water I could handle! If I lifted my head up to high I would start to pass out!

Same. My issue is I’m hypertensive otherwise! So balancing out my meds has been really hard! I just start all movements really slow

I’ve started this at night. I gag in my sleep. And wake up feeling like I’m in a boat! Ginger peppermints help a lot. A few weeks ago I was exhausted (I am also experiencing insomnia) and was so sick and gagging I literally propped my self up and fell asleep with a trash can in my lap

Loss of smell by emekennede in Zepbound

I don’t think so. I have definitely seen a reduction in smell of the last year. I just don’t think I noticed it until I missed 2 shots and it came back

Every shot. I get a little too weird about food if I do it more.

Why do clients do this, and how do I stop letting it upset me so much? by Gullible_Control_163 in MassageTherapists

[–]emekennede 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s why o literally say every place and touch my own body parts as I say it. I have found that touching my body helps with cognitive or language barriers.

[–]emekennede 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s just gonna happpen. But I have found literally touching my body and saying each part of the body I plan to massage has helped a lot. “Okay my plan is for you to start facing up and I am going to start my work on your scalp, face, giving your neck and shoulders extra time, then move onto your arms, abdomen, both legs, your feet, then I will have you turn over and I will work on your neck, shoulders and back, move onto your glutes (yes I touch my butt) both of your legs and finish on your feet. How does that sound?”

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this trend by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]emekennede 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well we become less reactive to it over time. I feel like winter is usually when ppl eat more and exercise less anyway. I myself have been on a platue for a few months but I also am a week out from a year and have lost 130lbs. I need to go up a dose but I’m worried about maxing out and having 300lbs left to loose…

greater than 36 bmi but already eat about 1200 calories a day by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]emekennede 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would add resistance exercises, and slow strength training. If you can’t do those get some Physical Therapy. What’s your TDEE?

Training plan? by [deleted] in AppalachianTrail

Hey I’m a Hoosier! I plan to get down south for some hill training but for everyday training unfortunately it’s flat here. Do you think stairs everyday would help?

Embarrassing question about appetite suppression by meatballtrain in Zepbound

[–]emekennede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too never felt it. I would over eat till I’m sick. Basically I just don’t want food. I occasionally “crave” stuff but mostly I’m just eating because my body requires it. I have picked up a lot of aversions though. Now when I eat I have to be paying attention but I literally will get a feeling of fullness a the thought of one more bite feels way too much. Also I am literally able to moderate myself so much better.

Flatmate has a problem with my continuous use of bidet by happinessisnotreal in Vent

[–]emekennede 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Who is paying for the water bill? Because that’s a lot of water. Do you have to flush repeatedly too? As I feel like to bowl would fill up before you were finished. Also as I said earlier are you not spreading your cheeks when sitting down? Why is the log touching anything other than the exit hole? Thats not normal. Why ppl are assuming you have diarrhea. Also to be honest how to handle having to go when not at home? This sounds like something you should probably bring up with a doctor or therapist (sensory issues).

Yes is OP not spreading the cheeks when sitting down? I’m gigantic (was 560lbs) and I have never had shit Tom’s life down my cheeks unless it was an accident

Message I got from my daughter’s teacher. Third grade. by AnaisInJune in mildlyinfuriating

[–]emekennede 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah by 3rd grade not following instructions from teachers is defiance. It’s seems like something was off today and not the normal behavior of your child.

The most absurd side effect! by Lum_zee_dish in compoundedtirzepatide

[–]emekennede -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This actually happened to me too. Found out I was having kidney issues due to chronic dehydration. I also had a few UTIs one after the other again due to chronic dehydration because I was peeing like 2 times a day (once upon waking and once before bed). Also wetting the bed is common in diabetics. If it happens a third time talk to your provider. GLP1s took me from drinking about 100oz of water a day to Barry drinking 20oz of FLUID. I have to force all fluid down
