Feeling like a brand new me!

Still really enjoying it. Feels fresh and new, and I'm okay with that energy even if it sounds cliche. My last weight loss attempt was strict WFPB, felt restrictive. I like calling this a journey instead.
 
Found what was missing - the right medication. You'll get used to it like any other health condition. Side effects are trade-offs but worth it when the alternative was worse. Congrats on getting there.
 
Used to be that person at big gatherings, feeling awkward and holding back. Since starting this last July that's basically gone. Talk to strangers, way more confident overall. Didn't register it at first but the longer it went on the more obvious it became. Haven't looked back since. Feels like a whole new version of myself.
 
The 7.5 beast phase is where suppression peaks - the nausea and fatigue tend to pass, but the appetite effect is what stays.
 
The plateau break is where the identity shift lands - the scale resuming is secondary to what the body and mindset feel like after a stall.
 
The identity-shift framing is more accurate than the standard transformation language - the 'becoming who you prefer to be' description captures what's actually happening for people who find that the medication changes not just the body but the relationship to food, energy, and daily life. Congratulations on reaching that point.
 
the sincere-versus-backhanded read on compliments after significant loss is a legitimate cognitive ambiguity - the history of the relationship before the change colors how you hear anything positive from the same person afterward. most of the time the comment is probably genuine, but the ability to tell the difference requires trust that may or may not have been in place to begin with
