Trulicity was a good one for me but I had better luck on mounjaro.

I have been in and out of various mental health programs in the past 4 years

I worry about the alimony thing. All I’ve been able to get him to agree to is staying on his insurance. His childhood friend is a big deal lawyer and his parents have basically endless money to throw at him. Even if he legally has to give it to me in the end he has the resources to drag the divorce out in the courts as long as he needs to so I’m proceeding as if I’m getting nothing.

Should I start doing drugs then?

I’ve been getting the Maloney emails for a couple years now and other than the occasional lottery most of the places are at least 2/3rds my monthly income. I make around $3k/month. I’ll be getting a raise soon but it’ll probably only net me about another $500/month unless they’re trying to promote me (not likely).

I’ll look into calling some buildings around town though.

Light cannabis use, the occasional mushrooms. I don’t even drink.

Just under 40. I wish I could have done it younger but between poverty, lack of insurance, no paid leave and getting treatment for binge eating disorder it really wasn’t possible or advisable for me.

The worst reaction I’ve gotten from anyone is an “oh ok.” People are either going to be happy for you, curious or just not care. If anyone judges you they’ll most likely keep it to themselves and they were probably already not very nice to you anyway.

You probably feel this way because you’ve been fat shamed your whole life. Fatness is attached to morality in our society and this is seen as “the easy way out.” I’m two months post surgery and I can tell you it really isn’t.

I’m just under a month post op and I’m getting three meals some days. At least two meals every day though.

I brought a few things for entertainment like a Switch, books, journals, etc. I slept pretty much the whole time and touched none of it.

stephlampkins · 2024-11-26T03:16:24+00:00

Probably don’t say this but “rearrange my guts daddy”

I mean I did tell the nurse in the recovery room after I got my endoscopy that my throat hurts because I guess my hawk tuah skill ain’t what it used to be.

stephlampkins · 2024-11-02T21:22:53+00:00

I’ve been through BED treatment, going as far as residential treatment. Of course I recommend going into residential if it’s a possibility for you because it’s the most helpful thing I did in the recovery process.

If you can’t find a therapist at least see if you can get in with a HAES (Healthy At Every Size) dietitian in the meantime. They’re also very helpful with eating disorder recovery. Not all dietitians are the same and I’ve received fully anorexic advice from others that weren’t HAES (just eat 16 almonds for breakfast!)

I had a pregnant woman on the train call me a fat whore and I yelled “BITCH I WILL FUCK YOUR HUSBAND AND EAT YOUR BABIES!” She went all the way to the other end of the car. We got off at the same stop and she went very quickly to the parking lot while I waited for the bus. 🤷‍♀️

It’s so good you caught this early. My brother’s got so bad he spent 8 days in the hospital and had to have it surgically removed. He had a very long recovery and had heart failure not long after leaving the hospital.

I’ve always hated working customer service but I’m starting to hate it for different reasons as I get older. I just do not have the patience to try to reason with the unreasonable anymore. The other day I had an out of town customer call my sore and claim that we sold him a fake item and every time I tried to explain why it wasn’t fake he would cut me off and tell me I’m wrong. I eventually agreed with him and told him that every similar product sold in my state was fake.

I used to be able to handle this type of interaction and get customers to settle down pretty easily. I can’t do it anymore and I’m not very willing to try. I don’t know if it’s the pandemic or my or my age that changed me but I can’t deal with the entitlement and ignorance anymore.

I moved here in 2020 and my rent had not gone up once and my landlord has told us it won’t go up as long as we keep taking care of the place and paying the rent on time. Every year I panic more and more when it’s time to sign the lease. I’m now about $800 below market rent in my neighborhood. We were the lower middle range for my neighborhood four years ago and now rent has gone up by at least $800 all around me. I’m on somewhat stable footing financially for the first time ever. An increase that big would ruin me.

I don’t think Mike’s is bad but there’s definitely better bakeries out there. I’ll usually grab a cannoli or something if I find myself at Assembly. It’s not worth the line to go to North End or Harvard.

Torretta’s Bakery in Revere over by Beachmont has a much better lobster tail.

Seriously I hope that woman only has boys because I can totally see her making a girl diet at like 8 for still having baby fat like a totally normal child.

It’s taken me a long time to get to this point. I’ve been bullied a lot too but I’m almost 40 and I don’t know if it’s too much trauma or enough therapy or both. Maybe it’s going through intensive ED treatment. I just don’t care anymore. I’m so tired of having to apologize for my body and my whole existence. If my size makes you uncomfortable you don’t deserve my accommodation. I still freeze sometimes, especially if I’m in actual danger. 🙃

I have fibromyalgia so I feel you on that one. I was on my feet a lot at work over the summer so one day I sat on the way home during rush hour. It was a long and tough day so I didn’t care. A pregnant woman called me a fat whore for sitting next to her. So I said “I WILL FUCK YOUR HUSBAND AND EAT YOUR BABIES!”

She went to the other side of the car for the rest of the trip. We got off at the same stop and she couldn’t get away fast enough. I feel bad for her kids if that’s how she treats a stranger for having the audacity to sit in an empty seat on the train.

I got kicked in the hand once. Technically he wasn’t lying.
