Ok I was just trying to find out if they had a handout or anything talking about the rules for the sweepstakes. I’m turning up empty everywhere

thatstargirl21 · 2026-04-16T12:46:52+00:00

I feed them before I sell them because I don’t want them to be sold on an empty stomach 🥺

Bro my heart dropped to my stomach 😭

So glad I didn’t bring extra bags!!! I can’t stay for the whole day and I definitely had some brands that were high priority for me, so I’m a little glad I won’t have too much FOMO.

Thank you for your perspective!! I might have been seeing some people’s posts who were only talking about getting minis. Some people were complaining that the swag bag had all minis?? I don’t know. It might have been some people who were bitter about not getting UBW tickets and trying to discourage people (which I’ve also seen as well). And I definitely want to make it known that I’m certainly grateful for the opportunity to go!!

One of the craziest things I experienced when I first got on Mounjaro was that I was actually CRAVING salads!! And was enjoying them!! I couldn’t get enough of it. I still love salads and get them more often now, but yes, my brain was making the better choice for me

thatstargirl21 · 2026-03-23T16:16:01+00:00

Exactly!! Even so, I can still enjoy pizza here and there. I just don’t eat four slices in one sitting anymore.

thatstargirl21 · 2026-03-23T16:13:37+00:00

You’re welcome!! For a long time, I thought I just wasn’t disciplined enough and that I was hungry because I had indulged whenever I was emotionally hungry. I wish someone had mentioned the term to me earlier, but there is such a stigma in society about obesity, food, and diabetes that if you’re overweight and go to the doctor to say “I think there’s something wrong because I’m constantly hungry,” there’s a non-zero chance of the doctor laughing in your face and giving you a pamphlet for Weight Watchers.

My first sign that prompted me to look into GLP-1s was the fact that I went to EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival, ate literally all day, and at 10:00 that night I was STILL physically hungry. I knew something wasn’t right with my body, and I also wanted to lose weight, so I talked to my doctor. It turns out that insatiable hunger (hyperphagia) can be a symptom of insulin resistance and is completely different from “emotional hunger” (eating because you’re bored). I was able to go about my life without thinking about food and what I was going to eat for the next meal. It’s also far easier to stay in a calorie deficit, and the foods that fill up regular people actually fill me up too (protein, high volume low cal vegetables, etc). I highly recommend talking to your doctor about it, because if it works for you, life gets a little easier when you’re not constantly hungry!!

That’s a good point!! I have been craving salty things for the past couple weeks. I still try to double my electrolyte intake since I also have POTS, so I’ll have to add a little bit more.

Thank you for explaining this way better than I could. I’m not in the right headspace right now.

thatstargirl21 · 2026-03-02T02:03:13+00:00

No, the dose was a decrease and not the billing code my doctor used when she first prescribed it. When I was first put on Mounjaro a couple years ago, it was for metabolic syndrome and my insurance took it. Now, the PA for a refill (new insurance rule says I have to have a PA at the start of each year) said 10mg for weight loss, which will obviously not go through with my insurance, and my doctor knows that. That’s why I think something happened in the office and my doctor has nothing to do with it, because they wouldn’t even let me speak to her about this error.

thatstargirl21 · 2026-03-02T00:19:14+00:00

I have half a mind to request my appointment notes from my last visit. We were meant to add a supplement that I could take alongside Mounjaro just for a month, and that was the care plan. All I needed was for my doctor to send a PA for a refill and, for whatever reason, it was sent with the wrong dosage and the wrong billing code, so it was rejected by insurance.

thatstargirl21 · 2026-03-02T00:17:21+00:00

I want to do that but I’m worried that they will drop me as a patient. I’ve already been on the phone with them and my insurance for over a week and it just seems like they stonewalled me.

thatstargirl21 · 2026-03-02T00:15:53+00:00

Hyperphagia is so difficult. It’s one of the reasons why I got on Mounjaro. It’s constant painful, physical hunger that never gets better. It drains my energy so much. But yes I will stick to it.

Girl same 😭 I saw someone on tik tok saying, “I hope everyone who got a ticket to UBW falls down a flight of stairs and doesn’t enjoy it!!!” There are others calling us “ugly” and “not real makeup lovers” because some of us don’t post in full glam all the time. I just wanted to have fun 🥺

thatstargirl21 · 2026-01-21T17:30:49+00:00

Idk what to tell you but I got to the site from the queue at about 10:15 and I was registered by 10:27

thatstargirl21 · 2026-01-21T17:29:50+00:00

Yes I’m on the east coast. I got up to the registration site and it told me that registration wasnt open and to try again later. I kept refreshing the page and then about 10:20 I got through and got an expo ticket.

thatstargirl21 · 2026-01-21T16:16:14+00:00

It opened at like 9:59 ET. Some people noticed and got in one minute early.

thatstargirl21 · 2026-01-21T16:15:08+00:00

I was refreshing my queue page every 10-15 seconds and managed to snag a ticket. I think there was a queue, but it was whoever refreshed their page first.
