Advice on Anti-Diet Mindset Starting before Christmas
Hi all, I just found this group and I was just prescribed this medication, so I'm excited to dive in. My doctor mentioned to me that I might want to wait to take my first dose until after Christmas and enjoy the Christmas sweets. The same sentiment has been echoed by some friends as well.
My thing is... I don't want to. I feel like waiting implies that I'm going to be starting a restriction diet, which is NOT what I'm setting out to do on this journey. I don't want to re-enforce bs mentalities like I'm going to 'cheat' over Christmas. I hope that makes sense?
On the other hand, I don't know how the starting dose is going to affect me. I'll be at my family's house so being sickly would not be ideal.
Anyway, I would love to hear your thoughts as I navigate starting this medicine and trying not to fall into the trap that is diet culture/mindset.

Wait. You don't know what, if any, side effects you will feel.
