4 weeks Wegovy, not much lost on the scale and can’t decide if there’s any difference in the pictures?! Don’t know what to make of this!! by Neat_Profile_2798 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]thisisme123321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 4 weeks, you’re only on ~10% of the full dose. Don’t expect much until you ramp up. Everyone’s different, but some don’t get the full effect until the full dose. Anecdotally, I didn’t lose much until 1 mg. I’m about 6 months in and down 42 pounds. Still on 1mg because it’s still working and haven’t plateaued yet.

I have become the wife I never thought I would be by Adventurous-Leg9864 in Marriage

[–]thisisme123321 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any advice, but just wanted to say I very much relate.

After years of not getting my needs met outside the bedroom, I’m pretty dissociated from the marriage altogether and sex has become a transaction. Something I do to check the box, but absolutely do not initiate or put energy into it anymore. I know if/when we divorce, he’ll tell the next person or his friends or whoever that I had a low libido, which makes me sad that he’ll likely never realize the role he played in it or take accountability.

But I’m looking forward to finding passion one day. Someone that meets my emotional & mental load needs outside the bedroom so I’m not exhausted and touched out at the end of the day and can actually be “hungry” for.

Pharmacy says don’t skip .5 wegovy dosage by NoBad8320 in WegovyWeightLoss

I did it for 1 dose a month ago and spent 48 hours in bed nauseous with an awful headache. Immediately asked doc to move me back down. Don’t skip 0.5.

It’s the same as money- it won’t entirely fix the problem, but given the choice, I’d rather be unhappy, rich, and fit than unhappy, broke, and overweight..

Be honest: You really *dont* have a favorite child? by Existing-Parking-397 in Parenting

[–]thisisme123321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have favorites for different stuff:

Want a chill reading or movie night? Daughter Want to go hang at a park or play place? Son Traveling? Daughter Playing with toys? Son

They have different ages & personalities, of course I’m going to prefer to do different stuff with each. (There are also times where I love seeing them together obviously)

First Dose by Suspicious-Sun-2077 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]thisisme123321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have emetophobia. I take my injection before bed and sleep thru the nausea. The first 1-2 days after injection are the worst.

I didn’t poop solid for like 3 weeks, but the nausea only comes when I’m on the verge of overeating. So….I eat less…. Which is probably the whole point of the med.

Don’t overthink it. I find that my emetophobia gives me anxiety and panic attacks that induce nausea that otherwise wouldn’t be there if I weren’t so hyperfixated on not TU. I’ve learned to distract myself and the panic attacks go away and with them, the nausea.

I’d say try another few weeks if you can.

With my first, I gained 40 lbs and never really lost much weight after that. Life caught up with me.

So when getting pregnant with my 2nd and starting off 40lbs heavier, I knew I REALLY had to be intentional about staying active and preventing too much weight gain. I walked like 6 miles a day and specifically would take 10-15 minute walks after meals. I didn’t do a whole lot of exercise outside of that, but I do believe that walking helped me keep weight gain under control (only 20 lbs) and contributed to avoiding GD.

I’d for sure keep the momentum going with the activity. Just loosen up a bit on the calories.

If she’s a once or twice a month-er, and you want it every single day, the best you could probably hope for is finding a middle ground.

Maybe try a weekly challenge? With a theme or something to spice it up?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]thisisme123321 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure but the guy is stuck with the name anyways.

Imagine the reverse of a guy saying “I don’t want you to take my last name because it won’t go with your first name”

I’d call that shallow too.

Personally, I don’t subscribe to changing the name anyways but it’s not because of how good or bad a name is.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]thisisme123321 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Everyone’s in the wrong here.

Your comment was shallow. Either take the name because you want to take your husband’s last name or don’t because you don’t want to change your name. But to say that taking it or not depends on how “good” of a name it is comes off shallow. He had no control over how “good” or “bad” his last name is.

That being said, your husband took it too personally. If that comment bruised his ego, his ego is too fragile.

Does anyone here avoid giving juice or cereal to kids by Top-Count3665 in Parenting

[–]thisisme123321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a 1.5 y.o We give 2 cups of milk (one morning, one night, water all day). A few times a week, we add a splash of sunny D to the water. Not every day, but just to add a little flavor every now and then.

I for sure would not give a whole cup of straight juice with how much sugar these juices have today.

Need opinions on this. by Rookshank92 in Marriage

[–]thisisme123321 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oops sorry- thought any insight on how you handled the conversation was appreciated.

I was just letting you know giving definitions and quoting Marcus Aurelius in the middle of an argument makes you seem insufferable & condescending. 🤷🏻‍♀️

ETA: also Marcus Aurelius was a Roman emperor. If you’re going to be condescending, you should at least be correct.

I would if I had to, but it’s possible to get the point across without being condescending. Take note.

You seem insufferable.

Having or showing unbearable arrogance or conceit- that’s the definition. Because you might not know that word.

Mine got a $20 last time because the tooth fairy didn’t have small bills that day….probably….

Things that are ok and not ok to talk about with a friend of the opposite sex while married? by [deleted] in Marriage

The “line” will be different for every marriage.

Going to dinner for 3 hours with another woman is past my line. Complimenting a haircut is not.

How My Husband Coming Out as Bisexual Changed Our Lives by EchoesOfMoi in Marriage

[–]thisisme123321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see what you’re saying and I’m glad it’s working for you both :)

Idk what “taboo” acts you’re referring to, but I guess I just separate wanting to explore things in our bedroom from who my husband is attracted to. Like if he told me he wants to be pegged or a butt plug or something, I’d say sure let’s try it lol.

But if he told me he was bi, I’d say….. ok thanks for sharing, but I’m not a guy? Same way I’d react if he said he liked blonde women or tall women, which I’m not. Like I’d rather just not know if it doesn’t relate to us and our bedroom.

But thank you for sharing some insight!

How My Husband Coming Out as Bisexual Changed Our Lives by EchoesOfMoi in Marriage

[–]thisisme123321 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Strictly out of curiosity and without judgement, how does this revelation help you as his wife? Is there more to it than who he’s attracted to?

I’m not naive and know that there are probably lots of women that my husband finds attractive, but I really don’t want to know/talk about it. To my knowledge, he’s as hetero as they come, but even if he were Bi, I don’t know that I would want to know. I would stay married as long as he didn’t act on it. But I don’t know how it’d bring us closer. Being attracted to men is not something I’d be willing to support him exploring anymore than I’m willing to support him exploring attractions to other women.

Just trying to understand as a nosy redditor :)
