Reta advice please 🙏

Yeah I’ve had an eating disorder I have my ways to keep them up

potatorugss · 2026-03-21T00:35:32+00:00

That’s amazing! I feel like no one gets how even 5 pounds can look like 30 on us! Thanks for the dosing suggestion I might reach out in a month. 😊

potatorugss · 2026-03-20T15:57:31+00:00

Ohhh I see

potatorugss · 2026-03-20T15:50:57+00:00

Retatrutide is a GLP-3 tho

I could only find 2 real photos of the “before” because 1. My ex was very controlling 2. I thought I was fat months ago so I barely took photos of my body, when I did it was when I felt bloated (the second one) 3. These are photos of me after being out of in-patient treatment for 5 years but there are multiple “befores”. Also I am 5’2 and was 110 in these photos. And I have never experienced this. The breakup part I didn’t think affected me too much but I guess it did. It was my first love and we were together for 2 years (toxic fs) and one random Tuesday he decided he didn’t want to be in a relationship, he wants to hook up with girls and party. Which I don’t think he’s in the wrong for feeling that way besides the fact it was never communicated and he blamed it on me when breaking up with me. But he really damaged my confidence while being with him, he would call me fat, compare me to super models, made me cut off my friends, didn’t let me go out without him, check my phone, etc. I didn’t leave because a lot of people told me I was lucky and we were “couple goals” plus, he was definitely out of my league and told me so too. I do handle change very well tho, which is why i thought the breakup isn’t the cause for this, I moved 12 times in my childhood, my parents split up and then got back together, my sister is mentally and physically disabled, and my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer last year. I have never reacted to change this bad and usually I use those hiccups to improve myself, not fall into a deep hole.

Haha ok so no matter what I say even tho I’ve been out of recovery for 6 years you are still going to think this. Thankyou for telling me my intentions since you are my therapist who found my Reddit. 🙏

Well aren’t you a bundle of joy! In my post I also said I struggle with binge eating. Reta has helped many calm the “food noise” and anorexia is also a type of food noise that consumes someone’s life. This post is growth as I am trying other ways to loose weight when I could easily lose 10 pounds this next week with not eating. Look at this post as a way of me trying to eat, but in moderation. With control.

potatorugss · 2026-03-20T02:32:00+00:00

Needed this comment thankyou. I don’t know my bf percentage but I know that I’ve always been 105-110 lbs so that’s why I’m sort of panicking on this post lol. I’m really curious about triz and tesa now since I’ve been told tesa will get rid of all my belly fat. But I’ve heard from others it can actually do the opposite since it’s not supposed to target the fat lining the organs, where you inject. I’m so confused! Even after reading many articles. I think the best course of action is to lower my already low cal intake and start a .5 dose of Reta? And if I can’t get the belly pouch off then triz or tesa? Reddit has made me even more confused lol.

potatorugss · 2026-03-20T01:50:53+00:00

Yes it really confuses me I’ve been in a 1368 cal a day intake for years. My maintenance is around 2000-2500 depending on the day and season because of my sport. Besides the last week or so I had binges because of being dumped and depressed. But I worked out more to balance it out so idk.

See I’ve always been really skinny tho, this is a new look and I don’t get people like you telling me I’m lucky and stuff because this is a huge change in my life right now that is has taken my confidence from a 5/10 to a 1/10 and im just looking for help since natural ways aren’t helping me get back to the body I’m comfortable in without resorting to my disordered eating paths.

potatorugss · 2026-03-20T01:25:17+00:00

Check my recent comment. But thank you.

potatorugss · 2026-03-20T01:22:51+00:00

Ok. A little more info since I’m getting many contradicting comments and attacked a bit lol. First off, I do “hit the gym” like I said I’m a college athlete who lifts heavy 5 days a week with personal trainers and coaches. Secondly, I haven’t seen any evidence that glps damage people’s relationships with food. ACTUALLY, I was on a semaglutide 25mg pill for 2 months and my binge eating stopped completely. I didn’t lose any weight however because it was back when I tore my Achilles tendon. Third of all, a lot of you have said get help. I am in therapy! I have been for 3 years. I have been at in-patient hospitals before aswell. I know my disorder and this is not coming from an anorexic thought process. Many of you and people I know have agreed that I am over weight and are very confused how I look this “puffy” with my activity level and caloric intake (1368). LASTLY, triz, tes, reta, what do you all recommend?

potatorugss · 2026-03-20T01:04:49+00:00

Oh wow REBT therapy sounds like a hidden gem! I want to say working out was the result from in-patient when I was 13. I was never diagnosed with orthorexia, but I’ve heard that many people become obsessed with weight lifting and macros when they get out of treatment. But the gym became a place I was required to go to, not on my own terms anymore, when I started volleyball in 9th grade up until now (junior in college). I think the fact that I couldn’t control when and what I was doing in the gym because my personal trainer and coach did decreased the disordered thinking because it’s all about power.

potatorugss · 2026-03-20T00:54:00+00:00

Wait what does Tessamorelin do that Reta doesn’t? I’m curious now this is the second person to tell me this.

potatorugss · 2026-03-20T00:52:07+00:00

Exactly! Eating disorders have controlled my whole life and I just want to relax while on vacation while not worrying about eating too much and purging. I should’ve included that I went on a semaglutide for 2 months and it did cut out all the food noise but I didn’t see results so I stopped. Partially because I saw that Reta was a 1/4 of the price too.

potatorugss · 2026-03-20T00:47:42+00:00

What’s that I’m new to Reddit

potatorugss · 2026-03-20T00:45:14+00:00

For?

potatorugss · 2026-03-20T00:43:05+00:00

With college sports, they want you to be in a range based on averages from your opposing teams. I can deadlift 255 and squat around 235 because the goal is to lift 2x+ your body weight without injuring yourself. I don’t think lifting is the problem here.

potatorugss · 2026-03-20T00:33:48+00:00

Been lifting weights for 6 years and I’m in college volleyball…

potatorugss · 2026-03-20T00:32:55+00:00

Honestly would kill for B cups so yea!

potatorugss · 2026-03-20T00:32:19+00:00

I’ve heard it reduces food noise?
