From Chubby to Garage Fridge Commando

Rooting for you! I love the creativity. I kept mine in a dark spot in the fridge, wrapped in foil in a dark bag. Also, my fridge has an ice maker spot that isn't used (perfect!)

I thought this entire forum was about off-label use.

Ain't that the truth!

People who call it "cheating" are just projecting their own insecurities. It's not a game. It's healthcare. If it helps you be healthier, who cares? My doc said

'Just eat better and exercise more.'

- yeah, that's *super* helpful, doc!

Thin_Great Exactly! It's like saying taking medicine for diabetes is "cheating" at not dying. It's ridiculous.

Anyone else dealing with, um, digestive issues? I've been reading about it and it seems common. Any tips? Asking for a friend...

Hydration, hydration, hydration! And maybe a gentle stool softener if needed. I've also heard magnesium can help.

Ha, same thing here - human food in the main kitchen, specialty stuff gets its own setup. Works great.

You might be onto something with the dopamine angle. When I quit drinking, sugar took over. On tirz, my sugar cravings vanished at first. But eventually the dopamine cravings came back for literally anything. Now I get that rush when my next package of compounded stuff shows up. Freezer's almost full.

anyone get intense hunger waves in the morning? on my 2nd 1mg pen and rarely have side effects, but almost every morning i go from nothing to dizzy-hungry-nauseated for 5-10 minutes then it passes. sucks.

Was trying to stay disciplined, but that food chatter crept in quietly at first, then grew louder and louder, and I didn't even clock that I'd started eating more, clear sign I wasn't vigilant enough about keeping up my food log and staying proactive. I know staying on this forever just isn't realistic for me financially. Honestly just wanted a push for six months, shed as much of the 15 pounds I'd regained as possible, then bring up with my doctor whether seeing a nutritionist makes sense, since it's obvious my relationship with food needs real work.
