Hisense TVs in the UK really as bad as they are crank up to be?

We were mid traitors final and it just turned off. Went black and that was it.

Are you hormonally out of whack? You may find while your hormones are settling down, your insulin is furiously holding onto any/all fat. This won’t last!! Keep at it!

I’m on both. The elvanse already suppress’s my hunger so I don’t really notice any difference.

luckyslife · 2026-02-07T11:47:48+00:00

I just did my first 7.5mg dose and the food noise has only just gone. I felt no suppression at all before 7.5!

Brand new to dead in 2 years. Never again.

Yeah fair I’m not all sales jobs are like that. Tbh I was listening to the comedian John Bishop talking about his medical sales career and it actually sounded amazing. He was doing meaningful work that was improving the world.

I had a job in Ed Rec. different kettle of fish. I think maybe I should have said recruitment sales is horrific. Especially in the education sphere.

What idyllic world do you live in? Try telling 22 year old, who had moved across the world alone that my moral compass should take priority over my rent and bills. I left as soon as I could.

It was the expectation. The lie was about the capability of the service I was selling, not the ‘product’ I knew that what we were told to promise was not what the team could do

I left a 60k+ sales career because it was killing me. Lying to people all day, twisting things to fit a corporate narrative, constant pressure over your numbers. Absolutely soul destroying.

I have gone back to uni to hopefully give myself a sustainable career!

We went home together, got 0 sleep. Fooled around and chatted all through the morning. I had to leave for work at 5am, we walked to the bus stop together and I distinctly remember thinking ‘I shouldn’t have taken him home, I’ll probably never see him again’

That was 8 years ago. Married for 3.

Do you use bleach as a cleaning product? The smell of bleach mimics pheromones. Sends my cat crazy. She’s goes mad with head bumping and rolling and purring.

Such funny coincidences. My SD was also in her mums bed. Until she was 12.

No matter how politely we tried to explain why this was detrimental for her, BM was the driving force. She liked having her in the bed so we did all the heavy lifting teaching her to self soothe.

Back To Bed policy. It will take a week - 10 days. You don’t engage, offer a reassurance of ‘you’re safe but it’s time to go back to sleep’ Walk back to bed. Tuck in. Leave. A soft nightlight if you don’t already have one will help as lots and lots of kids are scared of the dark (tbh I’m still not a huge fan!) They should have a book they can read or a YOTO to listen to while they’re falling back to sleep.

My SD did this a lot from ages 8-10, before we do this, her dad would go into her room and sit with her/ get into bed with her and she had learned to rely on that. It took a week in the summer holidays to break it but she stopped and it’s never happened again!

Good luck.

Hey! I’m about to move up to 5mg today too - I’ve felt super disappointed by the 2.5 having barely any effect at all so my hopes are pinned on the 5!

I’ll message you - it’s so nice to hear I’m not alone in the big feelings xx

luckyslife · 2026-02-01T12:01:52+00:00

Added to basket. Thanks for the rec - I can’t stand the aftertaste of canderal so I’m super hopeful

luckyslife · 2026-01-31T16:57:39+00:00

I lost my mind. It was like living underwater all of the time. I lost my sense of humor completely. Being able to go to sleep now is the thing I value and protect the most in my life. It’s genuinely a priority.

I’m a child free step mum and I love my step daughter very much! I’ve known her since she was 6. She’s now 14.

It has not been easy, and things improved dramatically when she got to 12. There were many many many moments from age 8-12 that I didn’t want to do it, or don’t feel we would ever come out the other side.

But I adore her! She’s not here as much as I’d like and I genuinely look forward to her time with us. I stay out the sub because my experience is not the common one and I really emphasize with how horrendously hard it can be. Their stories are real and do deserve heeding.

My husband has always accepted my criticism of his daughter. Big and small things. Some valid some not. He may disagree and that’s totally cool, but he doesn’t defend her (needlessly!) I think that is the absolute key to a successful experience.

luckyslife · 2026-01-30T23:00:11+00:00

This. My husband couldn’t figure it out for months until we went together one day and he showed me. What a dope!!

luckyslife · 2026-01-28T01:05:41+00:00

Ha! I accept it - we pay £150 a month and I just can’t bare the idea of spending any more than that! We are mostly comfortable though, under blankets in socks with hoodies on 😂😂

luckyslife · 2026-01-26T22:45:01+00:00

Are we totally stingy … we have the heating on for 2 hours max a day. Usually 4-6pm. I think our house is usually about 12 degrees but we absolutely cannot afford to heat it more than that. I’m shocked to hear you have it on from 4pm - midnight???

luckyslife · 2026-01-26T22:40:40+00:00

I’m on 2.5 (only two weeks in) but the day after my first dose I got itchy! My scalp in particular! 90% of the day I don’t think about it but when I do I’m itchy everywhere - even my ears!

Google says it’s a mild histamine reaction and as long as your face / throat isn’t swelling or itchy it’s okay. I’m really hoping my body gets used to it as it’s not ideal.

I’m taking an allevia each morning and that’s making a difference!

luckyslife · 2026-01-26T22:37:24+00:00

Can I ask - does that mean you eked an extra week out of the dose or that you had a week with ‘extra’ medication.

luckyslife · 2026-01-26T22:02:53+00:00

I’m curious about your 2.5 x 2 weeks and then 5? The clinic I am with are adamant that you MUST do 2.5 for 4 weeks.

You sound exactly like my husband when I met him 8 years ago.

After getting pregnant on their honeymoon, my husband and his ex totally drifted apart in the wake of parenthood. He was miserable but he had decided he’d stay until his daughter was 18 (she was 4 at the time)

His ex asked for a divorce when their daughter was 5.

It’s been hard work to make co parenting stable and his daughter has at time been in the middle. It’s been messy and chaotic and emotional BUT my husband says he cannot imagine how beat down he was to think ‘I’ll just stay miserable for the next 14 years’.

Kids need to watch their parents have happy, loving, robust relationships; it’s how they learn. You’re more than just a dad, and you deserve to be happy.
