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!)
 
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

- yeah, that's *super* helpful, doc! 🙄
 
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.
 
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.
 
Oh man, the late-night kitchen wandering. The second and third month on this medication were rough for exactly that reason. Food and I already had baggage, classic stress eater over here, and then out of nowhere my body decided to bolt on a brand new sweets obsession over top of it all?? Caught myself hovering over an open jar past midnight, spoon in hand, going to town on the peanut butter. My son wandered in once, just gave me a confused '...mom?' and I genuinely had zero explanation ready, lol.

Things settled down noticeably after switching to a different medication in this same family, and settled further once daily protein started reliably clearing 90 grams. A lot fewer late-night internal negotiations over whether ice cream was truly necessary.

The midsection though, honestly. Lost 45 total, and every bit of it came off my cheeks and arms first. My gut apparently missed the memo entirely, still just sitting there. Doctor mentioned that cortisol and deep abdominal fat tend to run together, particularly during this life stage, riveting conversation that was.
