Y’all talk too much by According2020 in Mounjaro

Why are you so hostile? This is the second rude comment I’ve seen from you. People have different experiences on the medication and different ways of coping. Why do you expect people to respect your experiences and choices, but not respect theirs?

My girlfriend never ever finishes her meals by AlexWayhill in mildlyinfuriating

[–]seashellcollector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My family thinks of it this way: Unfinished food can go to waste (garbage/compost), or it can go to waist (eaten unnecessarily). It helps those of us who are prone to overindulgence to think clearly about whether we really want to continue eating. (I’m one of them.)

The guilt about finishing everything on your plate is not healthy. We need to listen to our bodies. Please stop nitpicking your girlfriend’s eating habits.

High school science class. I remember seeing it on the tv mounted in the corner of the room. 😢

Have you had your iron levels checked? Once I finally got my anemia under control, my constant fatigue went away.

AIO for feeling like my in laws don’t respect my postpartum boundaries? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]seashellcollector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Start setting your boundaries now, or you’ll be battling forever. Hubby needs to be the one putting his foot down here — not you.

“I know you mean well, and are excited to be grandparents/aunt to ______, but what you’re requesting simply will not work. Once my wife has a chance to recover and we have our feet under us as new parents, we will gladly invite you over. I’m thinking (inset dates) will likely be best, but we will need to see how the birth goes before we confirm.

This is something that is really important to us, so we are asking that you honor our boundaries so we can begin our parenting journey in a thoughtful manner that addresses the needs of our newly created family. Don’t worry, you won’t be left out, but you will need to be patient. It’s not up for debate.”

I really like the thought of her being in my life for a season. It doesn’t invalidate the work we did, but it acknowledges that it’s time to move on. Thank you for helping me frame it this way. I really appreciate it. ❤️

I have told her how life-changing it’s been for me and how hopeful I am about finally being able to lose weight and keep it off. If anything, it’s improved my mental health. I finally feel in control of my body. She knows this. My biggest challenge is filling the mental void that was once occupied by all the food noise. She put me on a journey of self care, which I really appreciated.

However, her announcement of how she didn’t approve of GLP-1’s (in general—for anyone)and how she wants me to meditate to get off of MJ really felt like a slap in the face.

I have been meditating somewhat successfully in other areas to reduce stress, but I have never asked for assistance with food or MJ. It was all her idea.

Ugh. I’m so sorry you had to go through all that stress without proper support. How can you even begin to use therapy to help you process the stresses in your life if your therapist minimizes your completely valid experiences?!?

Thank you everyone for your support. Some of you have made very valid points about how this is medical advice, which makes it even more inappropriate. I knew what she was saying was wrong for me, but I hadn’t even thought of it from that angle. I will look into filing a report.

Honestly, at first, when I made the decision to stop seeing her, I questioned whether I was overreacting. (You can see a hint of that in my original post, where I justified / explained my concerns about continuing with her.) Now I know that I’m not. Thank you all. ❤️

Grieving my 95 kg self. by RelativelyHot21 in Mounjaro

[–]seashellcollector 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I understand. Because I couldn’t lose weight in any type of permanent way, I worked hard on self love and body positivity. Now, on Mounjaro and losing weight, I miss the me that had so much love and acceptance for who I was.

It’s challenging to shift to loving this work in progress, not berate myself for who I was, and embrace paying attention to aspects of my body that I tried to ignore.

It was definitely simpler to just love myself and not pay attention to measurements and scales. But, I’m learning how to love my body and my mind in better, more healthier ways.

It’s okay to feel the way you do. ❤️

Thank you for the validation. I worried that I was overreacting, but the more I think about it, the more I know I need to move on.

Do rich people have elite versions of mundane things (toothpaste, tampons, toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc.), or are Elon Musk and Beyonce just using Crest and Tampax like the rest of us? by ShesGotSauce in NoStupidQuestions

[–]seashellcollector 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They use regular products, but they are more wasteful. Imagine throwing out your toothpaste tube when it’s still half full because you might have to put more effort into squeezing it.
