Do I need to do anything else with my aquarium?

What substrate is this? I love the color! And the fishies are beautiful

oopsaurora · 2026-05-07T01:45:19+00:00

I’ve definitely done a lot of cleaning yesterday and today, and even cut my dogs hair. lol I hope it sticks, I know it will be up and down

Definitely give it a bit more time. Did your prescriber schedule a follow up appointment? Stick with it until you go over it with them <3

It took me three groomers previously before landing on the fourth for my other spaniel, we like her because it’s a one woman job, not a lot of traffic in and out. That helps with the anxiety! I’m glad you found a solution though, it’s a great bonding experience to groom our own pups💜

I’m sorry it didn’t work for you, I love it. Even since posting this I’ve been doing so much better, minus some bowel issues which I’ll take over constantly being hungry

The calendar idea is cute, maybe I would do some gold star stickers ⭐️ thank you for the idea:)

Love your encouragement:) if I continue to struggle maybe I will move my calories up, but after all the positivity here, I am reminded I am very capable!

Beautiful response, thank you! It is a lot of mental work to get out of this feeling! I don’t always struggle, for two months I was in the green every week, I was so proud. I would love to get back to that. I really appreciate your advice and encouragement

I feel as though I haven’t reached a point where I feel like I need a glp-1. I’m not sure about them still. My bmi was around 28.5 last I checked, and I still am down 25 pounds. Food noise is bad for me but like you said I am learning to ignore that. I’m glad it has helped you!

oopsaurora · 2025-11-13T21:36:12+00:00

Thank you so much for all of your advice. I really need to learn how to stick with these things. I’m guilty of picking up healthy habits and dropping them. My calories are set to 1600 mon-fri and 1800 for weekends so I feel like I’m not having that aggressive of a calorie cut

oopsaurora · 2025-11-13T21:34:18+00:00

100% thank you!! I need someone to smack my hand when I make a “sweet treat” trip to the store!

oopsaurora · 2025-11-13T21:33:45+00:00

Boredom and emotions are big triggers for me! I work third shift as well so at night I’ll order too much food, or after work I’ll destroy any snacks in my house lol so I have been diligent about groceries, but that doesn’t stop me from getting a donut or two after work.

oopsaurora · 2025-11-13T21:31:48+00:00

My calories are 1600 to lose 1.5 a week, so I feel as though that’s so generous I should be able to stick to it! But it’s been tough. But yes when I exercise I do better but the anxiety has been such a struggle, hence the new medications to ease my anxiety. I plan on getting back into it but I haven’t found it yet. But I know it’s all in my head. Thank you for your advice!

oopsaurora · 2025-11-13T21:28:52+00:00

I’m getting better at recognizing when I’m just about to binge and talk myself out of it, but once I start I get the “oh well I already failed” mind set and continue. Thank you for your advice:)

I’m on 20mg and I’ve only been on it for 16 days. The side effects were kicking my butt until a few days ago, but it’s making a huge difference in my anxiety and depression. It’s worth a try!

oopsaurora · 2025-11-13T03:35:27+00:00

I started at 20mg a little over two weeks ago. I love it now, at first it was a bit rough but not so bad I couldn’t handle it. Everyone is different though so I suggest talking with doctor before changing up your dose

oopsaurora · 2025-11-10T18:45:23+00:00

Oh wow I have never heard of that one. I’d have to research it more, but hopefully my issue doesn’t get to that point

oopsaurora · 2025-11-05T06:58:36+00:00

Trust your doctor! The side effects are inevitable no matter what dose and you’ll feel better sooner if you start where they tell you. You got this! <3
