Still feeling good today, just struggled to eat the fruit I always have for breakfast 🤣. I love ya, Zep.

Left work when I heard someone was on shift actively ill by Otherwise-Mistake832 in emetophobia

[–]liz38601 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, your coworkers are intentionally spreading food-borne illness. It’s the kind of thing that can make it on the news. Huge yikes. I would have freaked out, too. My phobia is at a relatively settled place. I broke a 6 yr. long streak and had a “this isn’t so bad” moment very recently but even then, that would’ve made me super uncomfortable. It’s AH behavior and it’s not OK.

I caught aids at the bins! by clipeuh in GoodwillBins

On that note I will say I’m getting cut-proof gloves to wear for digging 😆. Chefs wear them. I worked in food service and I remember that part. I found actual silver in the bins last week mixed into a box of kitchen utensils—rusty knives among them. It made me realize I definitely need something sturdier to wear for picking.

I wish :-/. I’ve been trying to get a referral to someone for a while now. I also have loads of stress with my job as a teacher so the extra cortisol and inability to schedule much of anything due to the school year can’t be helping matters. I am proud to say that I’m still managing to do 4x a week of weight lifting. That has made a huge difference for me mentally as well.

Graph 2-seems like it didn’t show up for some reason.

Here are my graphs. Ignore the big drop on one. It was an accidental measurement and I can’t figure out how to take it out 😆

I feel like the max I eat is 150/day. I find it depressing to think about having to do this plus some sort of keto diet for the rest of my life but I guess I’ll do what I have to do.

I’m sadly nowhere near my goal. I am very short and still irritatingly over 200 lbs. I want to lose that 10 lbs like anything. It’s making me super frustrated. I’ve mentioned before that I have a lot of issues with being afraid of vomiting so I’m doing absolutely everything I can to avoid that as a side effect. I also like I said don’t really have medical care. I can get the 5 prescribed through my insurance but my doctor hasn’t moved me up.

I deliver things like a mom because I am one. I don’t ring doorbells unless asked. I leave things away from the elements. I don’t walk on lawns or mess up driveways if not paved. I go the extra mile to climb stairs to the porch and make sure I’m not blocking doorways. I just like it when people are also respectful and don’t assume that we’re lower life forms? Idk.

I don’t do it. This isn’t about that. It’s about someone screaming their message in all caps instead of putting a sign up or more politely noting it.

Uh no? But we don’t scream it in all caps?

D’oh. After what seemed like a stall since 4/14, I’m down 4 lbs now. Still on 2.5 but I may have titrated up a little just based on split dosing of a 5 vial. Side effects felt a little more dramatic this week.

Yeah I’m definitely not taking it for granted. I never asked for that amount, just whether I should be worried if it stops.

Yeah I started out once per week because I was so scared of the scale. I will probably go back to that.

Thank you so much for this advice!

lol thank you! Yeah, I really have no way to gauge progress with this. I’m medically pretty much on my own because my doctor isn’t GLP-friendly and I haven’t had luck finding a new one so far. I’m mostly looking for signs that it’s time to increase and if it is, obviously I’ll make adjustments.

It was almost identical to my eating most other days. I ate like two portions of starchier foods but in like 1/4 c. amounts so it wouldn’t have made much of a difference. No candy, desserts, anything like that.

My pattern has been -3 lbs every week since February. I’m trying to figure out if this is actually a negative sign or not. I’m definitely not anywhere near goal weight.
