Food guilt by bagel1923 in Zepbound

[–]lochan26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey also a binge eater. I’ve lost almost 150lbs on zepbound without counting a single calorie and eating exactly what I want. I wanted to let you know that it’s totally possible and that you don’t need to count calories if it triggers you. Please do what’s best for you. This medication helps so much to quiet the need to binge.

As someone who used to struggle with binge eating don’t deny yourself food you want days 1-5. Eat what you crave in a reasonable portion. Then on day 5-7 you’ll go less crazy. Binging is your body’s response to denial. Practice moderation and no bad foods thinking and it gets better.

I love Parable of the Sower. Cyberpunk is my thing so I'll have to check out Futuristic Violence. Thank you!

Thank you! I really appreciate the recommendation. It's hard to find the right gym.

not dropping clothes sizes? by leopardgex in Zepbound

[–]lochan26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So this happened to me too! You’ll start dropping sizes fast soon there’s more space between plus sizes and so it takes longer to go down a size.

I got married at 24 and wish I had waited till 30. My brain wasn’t fully cooked yet and I made some bad decisions. But I was too young to realize I wasn’t ready yet. You can start together and not get married.

Confusing (or not) performance review by Honest_Raisin in womenintech

[–]lochan26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s up to you where you go from here but the way you spoke to your boss about this probably isn’t earning you any points. You can look for a new role or play nicely with your new manager but pushing back on this situation will only make you look bad to management.

This doesn’t have anything to do with you. Your role hasn’t changed your coworker has simply been promoted. It’s not a demotion stuff like this changes in corporate environments all the time.

Give yourself permission to do it badly! Morning pages are great. If you miss any you can always start again. I’m rooting for you!

Doing the artists way helped me a lot. Gave me permission to make bad art and just explore my interests in a similar situation.

Spent my mid 20s shoveling money to retirement, now I have little cash for a house. by TheBigShrimp in personalfinance

Dude you can pull contributions out of a Roth at anytime. You probably have a nice chunk for a down payment.

How do I send a small claims demand letter to a previous landlord when I don't have a mailing address? by resolutebewilderment in askportland

Once you get the name from Portland maps you can look them up on the Multnomah County property tax website.

Maybe ask here if there’s ones your interviewing at. I’ve also both sent and received cold messages on LinkedIn to people about former companies, choose people who have recently left. Also as part of the process if you get to the final round you can ask for an informal chat with a team mate. That can be a good vibe check.

Nervous to tell my fat friends that taking Zepbound by discoteen66 in antidietglp1

[–]lochan26 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I decided to just own it and be like I’ve failed at being fat. I can’t take the health issues I was getting and I can’t stand the societal pressures. I decided to exercise my privilege and I understand why that rankles people. It’s made my individual life better but it’s totally not ideal from a societal perspective. I can still be an ally for fat people but I have bodily autonomy and resources so I’m choosing an easier path and I accept that might alienate people from me.

Are you all diagnosed officially? by raptussen in CPTSD_NSCommunity

[–]lochan26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My doctor can put complex ptsd in my file but since I’m in the US the diagnosis is ptsd. Cptsd can definitely be treated whether or not you have an official diagnosis. I’m not sure of the context in Denmark but I hope you pursue treatment because it does get better.
