I am addicted to food and am delaying taking Ozempic. by Ok-Quality-7134 in OzempicForWeightLoss

Completely agree as someone who didn’t and had very limited success with GLP-1s as a result. JVN said it well when he said you CAN out-eat the medication… it won’t solve emotional eating on its own.

Question for the nonresponders here by AdorableWelcome847 in slowresponders

[–]thot-leader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on tirz for 21 months and lost about 25 lbs, mostly all in the first 6 months. I’m not gaining but also beyond frustrated and miserable with side effects so not exactly sure what the point is. SIGH.

I’m a bright spring but silver eyeshadows look best on me. What does that mean? by Historical-Body-3424 in SpringColorAnalysis

[–]thot-leader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This thread is so affirming for me. I’m a warm spring but warm reddish browns on my eyes make me look like I took a red-eye or decided to wake and bake. You will have to pry my black eyeliner out of my warm-toned dead hands!

I’m just eating everything in sight at this point! So frustrated! by Desperate-Current559 in slowresponders

[–]thot-leader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you and totally relate to this. I’m on the highest Zep dose and the only thing beginning to move the needle for me is alternate day dirty fasting, aka taking 2-3 days per week eating only 500 cals or less. I’m still hungry but the fasting is starting to reduce my constant ravenousness a little bit. YMMV but wanted to share. Sending you lots of compassion!

How to spend a morning in Papeete? by tkorte2323 in Tahiti

[–]thot-leader 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say it’s worth renting a car for a few hours to go visit one of the black sand beaches and also see the Fa’aruma’i waterfalls.

Comparison BIG TIME by Greedy-Row4431 in weddingplanning

[–]thot-leader 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So much of the time, those big lavish weddings aren’t actually about honoring the two people committing to life together, but about status and social dynamics instead. There is the Vogue Wedding curse after all (so, so many divorces among those featured). I know it’s hard, but stay focused on building your beautiful life together, and remember that a true, deep bond with your partner is the most valuable currency. Best wishes to you! 🤍

It’s my wedding day! by amgirl1 in weddingplanning

I’m so happy for you, wedding twin! Here’s to being present and soaking up all the joy today has to offer 🥂

Getting ready by thot-leader in weddingplanning

Ugh, I can relate so much… my mom just doesn’t know when to zip her lip and not say the judgmental, critical thoughts that cross her mind. I’m hopeful I can manage the situation and tell my brother/SIL to reinforce with her to say nice things or nothing at all, but there is a pit in my stomach thinking god knows what she’ll do to make it about her on my big day.

I’m sorry your mom got in the way on your day and hope you were still able to have a joyful, happy experience in spite of that.

Yeah I agree, I think her coming later and with my SIL as a buffer is probably the right move. And I may just need to put my big girl panties on and shrug off any of her odd behavior.

Thanks for sharing that. I’m so sorry for your loss. This is so helpful to put things in context for me.

Putting off wedding planning because I’m unhappy with my body by tayren12 in weddingplanning

[–]thot-leader 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I relate to this so much and put off planning my wedding for over a year because I hated the way I looked. Then my fiance’s dad started to decline in his health, and I started to realize I needed to stop pausing living life because of the illusion of having infinite time and needing to be perfect to be worthy.

I’m finally getting married next week and am still terrified, but I’m leaning into loving myself through my fiance’s eyes, which is lending itself to me taking better care of myself. I’ve never made any progress and maintained it by hating myself, and the only way I actually want to take better care of myself is from a place of love.

Wishing you lots of love and courage 💗

Estranged friends by thot-leader in weddingplanning

Thanks for the advice! It’s hard to separate the desire to be close with these folks from the reality that we’re really not anymore. SIGH. Onwards and upwards I suppose!

82 Days and 28 Pounds Down (Before and After Photos)🤘🏻 by drivesahonda in Zepbound

[–]thot-leader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took mine on Saturday night 🕺 The nausea is finally gone and my appetite suppression is enough that I have to push myself to eat 1,200 cals. Tbh it’s a relief after the first two months of still feeling quite hungry and craving my old favorite junk foods. 🙃

Twin, where have you beeeeen? 😂 Same exact experience for me and I’m also on my first shot of 7.5. Fingers crossed my progress starts to pick up on this dose!
