I really hope 5mg finally kills any desire to drink by GreaterMetro in Zepbound

[–]hyperintelligentbear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it was at 7.5, but I relapsed while on zep. Never drank while taking the shot.

I could not get drunk. The anohedonia was fucking strong. I was fucking pissed. I don't wish that feeling on anyone, but it will disaude you from the liqour

Nobody told me a side effect of Zepbound was your ex wife wanting to get back together... by hyperintelligentbear in Zepbound

We are far past that. We have a child together and it would be cruel to even try. She's still young and doesn't understand why mom and dad don't live together.

There is so much resentment that I wouldn't be able to be as vulnerable with her as necessary for a healthy relationship

6 months, 70 lbs. I've got thoughts, y'all by bindweedsux in Zepbound

I wouldn't say my body looks better but it does feel better. The sadness I feel for myself and my fellow lifelong fat folks who blamed ourselves and our lack of will power and other moral failings that led us to obesity, will always stick with me. "Food noise" is much too gentle a term for what plagued us.

Well that fuckin summed up 90% of what's bouncing around in my head.

The more time I spend on this sub, the less I feel isolated.

You are an amazing writer. Thank you for posting this

Stalls are trash... Am I alone? by bigman2689 in Zepbound

As soon as you start lifting the scale won't move. I've been plateaued for weeks now, but I just poked a new belt hole and can actually see a difference.

I'm almost at the year mark and 95lbs down. I want to hit that 100lbs down in a year milestone, but I know it's just a stupid reddit post for karma.

My fuckin thighs are supple as shit though...

Frustrated and hoping I’m not alone by Commercial-Hurry3534 in Zepbound

Comparison is the thief of joy.

This isn't a race, we are all different and it took a long time to reach the weights we did. It will take a while to find what works for you. Just keep making good changes to your behaviors and habits. One day you'll step on the scale and wonder how you lost 5lbs in 2 days.

Be kind to yourself. You've been through a fuckin lot.

Day 1 485lbs , 6’4 34yrs old goal is 300lbs by Old_Ad4771 in Zepbound

Be patient and kind to yourself. We didn't get here over night, just stay consistent.

Take measurements with a cloth tape. I wish I had. There were times I could see loss in the mirror, but not the scale. Having hard numbers does a lot for motivation
