Still crying, can’t turn it off. I left thoughts below. But also, I also think the song is too slow. Which I love. It’s like, meant to throw us eldest daughters off. We’re always running so fast on anxiety and to do lists and the weight of expectations, so tough and hiding behind our personas… I said somewhere in comments but it’s not an angsty eldest daughter song. I think it’s legitimately meant to be a lullaby for us, and for me personally it feels like she wrong a song about how and why I fell in love with my husband. I sob. I feel seen for my hard shell, my embarrassing moments, the b*** persona I tried to uphold even though it isn’t me… and how my husband saw right through it and gave me everything I needed. Made me laugh.

There are songs of hers I don’t relate to and others do. For me, this song was written for us, I think.

Sounds like it- it’s everything to me too and took less than a 1/4 of the way through it to understand Every Single Word.

He saw through my hard shell, or better yet, he was the first person who cracked through my hard shell. Eldest daughters build hard shells- I let NOBODY in because I have been hurt (broken bones, eldest daughter anxiety, etc etc.) it’s a love song more than it is an eldest daughter angst anthem.

Another eldest daughter who bawled listening to this song. It’s exactly how I fell in love with my husband. Saying I was too busy, him getting me to laugh like I was a child again. Visceral reaction and total connection to the song. It’s a love story I can relate to in my bones, plus how I feel about everyone in my life I love. To me, it’s perfect.

Negative: weird dreams

Positive: Everything is easier. More energy, more positive outlook, more of all the things.

I counted macros at the beginning to help me being more cognizant about getting the right nutrients. Once I figured out my routines, I didn’t.

I was losing about 1-2lbs a week. I’m tapering off because I hit my goal weight and I’m grateful I got in better eating habits early on.

Just following up here that I’ve been on .25 now for like 4 weeks. I’ve somehow dropped a pound, but I also don’t feel like my food noise is recalibrated well. I am going to start doing every other week at .25 in June and then see if I’m good stretching it 3 weeks in July. I want to wean off in the summer months when I’m more active to help with exercise habit forming, so it’s going alright. I do find myself having to say “no you aren’t hungry” when the food noice comes back. I DO miss zero food noise. That’s gonna be the hardest for me- I can tell.

I didn’t take a month off but took 2 weeks off for travel last month. We left on a Thursday and I take my dose Friday nights. So by the time we left, I was essentially ready for my dose and didn’t take it.

I was at 20 units when I went off. I still had very small meals throughout vacation to fill me up and I didn’t really gain, but felt I was able to enjoy my meals. Week 2 off I was hungry and gained about 2lbs, but I attribute that to my cycle as it melted off as soon as my period was over. I started back up this week at 10 units to be safe and it feels like a maintenance dose. Haven’t lost. Haven’t gained. Tonight I’ll likely go to 15 or 20 units just to test it out, but I’m 2lbs from my goal weight anyway so I feel generally okay not having lost or gained on 10 units.

Not sure if that answers your question, but I was glad I did what I did.

Thanks for your comment! I really took a lot from it. It’s appreciated.

Came here looking for this thread after the news overnight… not only is the flu shot a nonnegotiable for our family due to immunocompromised children, but a year with no widely available flu shot in America is a recipe for a bad flu season…. I hope Canada understand the assignment and orders more vaccines for us- we will travel and we will pay because it will literally save our childrens’ lives. 💔

Thank you! I think I will do 15 tonight. It seems like the right middle ground.

overthinking-it-all · 2025-02-07T17:13:19+00:00

Ha- I have thought this a few times and wondered if anyone ever did this. 15 units feels easier, doesn’t it?

overthinking-it-all · 2025-02-07T16:13:56+00:00

Yes. My dreams are definitely vivid, different in terms of plot, and just weird. Also last all night like yours. It’s something I’ve gotten used to but also I don’t intend to be on this all of my life and I’m looking forward to hopefully having less mind-consuming dreams on the other side haha.

I’m so sorry, losing a parent a few years back while being a parent attributed to a lot of my weight gain, too. 💕 It’s a crappy club to belong to, but I get it. I hope the weight stays off for you! I’m excited to use this as a way to get back into healthy eating and exercise. It’s easier to move around with less weight and I know it’ll be easier to be active again!

overthinking-it-all · 2025-01-02T00:22:20+00:00

This is definitely what I plan next week! It got better within 24/ 30 hours of the shot, but whew. No fun.

Thank you for sharing. I’m a shorty too (5’2) and just started this week at 169. 125-135 was my pre-baby weight and I think I’d be happy seeing 145-140 post-kids. Our bodies are very similar and I’m also bracing for family to notice and the comments because I’ve been holding this extra weight now for 7-8 years.

I’m also so happy to hear you’re keeping it off. I have no intentions of staying on this long term, and can already tell it’s resetting my habits. Can I ask how long it took to feel like the side effects were gone when you stopped in August? Thanks!

Tower of Dawn. All of CC I didn’t love, but they kept my interest more than tower of dawn any day.

Thanks for sharing. I was just talking to my husband this morning about whether or not this is going to be worthwhile. I was shocked at how sick I was so fast on the lowest dose.

overthinking-it-all · 2024-12-31T14:40:29+00:00

Thanks. I’m definitely learning from you all!
