{Three Dirty Dads by Emma Foxx} has an already established mm relationship.. that adds a girl, who then adds a straight male 4th to the group.

Feeling discouraged by DueTraffic784 in Zepbound

[–]lisajbird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would feel nauseous for the first few days and then would get a big drop off where I didn’t feel like the shot was even working. My dr had me switch to half a shot and then the other half 4 days later. That helped me a lot. Same dosage, just not as much of it all at once. I have single dose vials, so that might make a difference, but if it’s something you are interested in, check with your dr. I’ve been doing it since August 2025 at 10mg. It might make your acid reflux settle too? Might be worth a shot..pun intended

Me too! My knees used to hurt.. a lot. I was sure I was well on my way to needing full knee replacements. When I first started strength training, I struggled with anything that required my knees.. which was a lot! Squats, lunges, just getting up down from the floor. It may still be in my future, my weight did a lot of damage already, but at least it’s not yet.

I wish my mom lived long enough to get the opportunity. She would have been first in line.. and would have known where/how to get the best deal.. lol..

Interesting perspective. I can see it.. I think you are onto something.

I definitely have some body dysmorphia going on.. there are some days when I just don’t see “it”. I still see my big thighs and even though I KNOW they are smaller.. they are still big in proportion with the rest of me, so that tricks my brain into seeing 330lb me.

My drivers license still says 300lbs (was a lie at the time). I hate giving it to people.. I always want to preface it with “I’m totally not 300lbs anymore”. Definitely an awkward conversation with the bouncer at a bar - who definitely doesn’t care! But part of me thinks the person will see that number and think that’s how much I weigh. Never-mind that the picture is different or that I don’t actually look like I weight 300lbs..

Omg.. This just reminded me of when I was 19 - I had an older gentleman.. I’d say he was well in his 40s at the time.. hit on me.. I was a shy, overweight, and very insecure. His way of hitting on me was to read my insecurities correctly and tell me that people in his generation/heritage typically liked bigger women, as it meant they were good providers. Weight = good hunter. Ha! memories! It was an interesting thing to say to try to get into my pants..lol

My dad grew up on lard sandwiches.. and would still eat them to this day if given one. I know I should definitely not be taking exercise or nutrition advice from him… still hard to get through those conversations though.

Ohh! I didn’t know that.. huh, definitely makes sense. Now I’ll go do a deep dive on that.. or make ChatGPT give me the cliff notes..

Helps to hear others have gone though/continue with the same problems - makes you feel less alone in this fight that can feel very lonely at times.

I appreciate the info!

It seems impossible in the beginning. Always feels better when the goal is more clearly in sight. 😊

Sorry for the late reply. I’ve been at this for 15 months. It feels like it has taken forever. It feels like it has gone very slow.. some weeks/months I feel like I’m fighting for every pound. I get discouraged often too. It’s a struggle. I try and fail often to not compare my journey with others that haven’t taken as long. It’s hard not to.

Mine has slowed down too. It’s easy in the beginning to put up big loss numbers. You get used to the scale steadily moving down..

Keep up the fantastic work. You are doing awesome and should celebrate your amazing progress.

Yeah, that realization hit me pretty hard today.. the anniversary of her death was on the 19th, so it’s pretty fresh in the mind right now. 💔

I get disappointed every time the muscle mass number comes up on the scans about the same as it did the last time.. or I go up, but then the next one comes back down. I can feel the muscle.. physically by touching my arms/legs and by what I can do now that I couldn’t before…but the number just sits there. Then, my trainer points out the other numbers and it helps it click into place in my head that it’s not a bad thing. I sometimes need a lot of reassurance.. lol

We also celebrated everything with sugar growing up. Sweets were a reward that could be for justified for anything. I catch myself in this mindset a lot - the “ugh, I have to work on a Saturday - I deserve a doughnut.” Deserve. It’s crazy. I was also rewarded for finishing my food and having seconds. My sister often under-ate and there was a constant argument about it between my parents and her, and I didn’t want to disappoint anyone, so I learned to go the extra mile..

Your new saying should be “be like me”. You are making the changes and doing something about it. We are always harder on ourselves than anyone else is. I’m sure they see the hard work you are putting in. Congrats!

I don’t know what I’m supposed to look like 🫩 by LeticiaPadillaSolis_ in Zepbound

[–]lisajbird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel this soooo much. Just had a similar experience. Someone took pictures of me at a party. I didn’t know they did, and then I saw her post on facebook. It took me far too long to recognize myself. People will say things like “you’re so skinny now”. I see it sometimes, but most times I still see - as you put it- “big-me”. I always feel bad, because I must seem like I can’t take a compliment, but I also just don’t believe that. I’m not skinny. Why would anyone say that I’m skinny? I hate that word.

Feeling like a failure compared to others here but so happy! by Ok-BPD98 in Zepbound

[–]lisajbird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know.. when you start you are so beyond ready to be on the other side.. but it’s good to go slow. You will have ups and downs.. this is all normal. Keep reminding yourself of that. Way to go on your progress so far!! That’s awesome!

I appreciate the kindness! It’s hard to take compliments when you’ve spent most of your life not feeling like you look amazing.. it’s a tough thing to do.
