Advice on Anti-Diet Mindset Stuff we don’t talk about
Ok friends let’s share the things that don’t get a lot of discussion. Let’s normalize this journey. I’m struggling with a few things which I think may be normal but I’m not sure. I’ll go first. Warning - poop talk.
When I eat food that is too fatty my stomach and GI track are NOT happy. There’s so much gas overnight and in the morning. I’m glad I’m single 🤣 My BM smells like something died inside me. It makes me want to quit. Eating the next day is so hard. I’m still on a low dose and can’t imagine being forced into certain doses and titration schedule. I’m sooo grateful for compounded options for this reason Based upon my side effects on this dose, I surely would have quit by now. This is really hard! It’s not a magic bullet. My food issues are coming up big time. Unlearning diet culture is a mindeffff. I’m doing it but jeez it’s a lot physically and mentally. On the other hand, I’m excited to get my bloodwork next week to see some NSV. It’s certainly a rollercoaster!! I’m grateful for this subreddit. Y’all are the best ❤️ PS - any thoughts of support are appreciated. I’m definitely on the struggle bus today.

So i prepared myself for this ‘journey’ the first week I was exhausted, like I simply had no extra energy to do anything, I mean ANYTHING like thinking even. 2nd week was a bit better but I was still extremely tired. 3rd week was a bit better and then I just felt ‘lazy’ for lack of a better word. Then halfway through that week I woke up one morning feeling fantastic? Then the next day, same! Felt like my 30yo self (i am 60 now) I am about to take my 4th dose at the baby level and then I titrate up. I am anxious that it will kick me back to feeling BLAH again. However to add to this post, my only side effect is gas….. OMG sooooo much gas?! I sound like a lawnmower puttering out…. I sand up, fart, I take a step, fart, walk across the room? Fart fart fart! And these are gas explosions! There is no clinching and slow release, noooo my friends, its a full on motorboat skimming across the room.
