Anyone else feel like it's cheating?

Get extra needles at the pharmacy, they're cheap. You can use the rest — 0.25 pens have 8 doses of 0.25mg and you can double-dose the higher ones. Don't use it if the liquid's cloudy. The label says use before seven weeks but it's good till it goes cloudy.
 
Could split dosing be related to the plateau? Everyone online says something different—some say split it, others say never. Theory is that hunger days help your body reset and make the drug work better. I've been eating more filling stuff like potatoes on those days, and lately trying berberine—actually working for me.
 
My experience has been the opposite direction - partner's libido went even lower. Intimacy pretty much dried up at this point.
 
Being on this stuff has actually made me way less anxious about what other people think. I used to worry constantly about being liked, but now I just feel more relaxed most days.
 
Same thing happens to me. Catch myself holding breath without realizing it. Can't push myself to hang out or do basic stuff around the house. Feels like a dopamine thing. When I force myself into cardio it helps snap me out of it.
 
The clothed vs. unclothed body image gap is extremely common after significant loss. The loose skin question has a mixed answer - some tightens over 12-18 months, some doesn't. Walking and resistance training help the compositional side. The deflation feeling tends to improve more than people expect in the first two years, especially with consistent activity.
 
The restaurant strategy is the thing that keeps it sustainable - smaller portions and low-pressure ordering means you stay consistent without turning every meal out into a negotiation with yourself.
