Still Not Thin Enough?

Hong Kong Yanpep International
Five weeks, still 0.5mg. Didn't jump 1mg yet. Total down seven. Food noise creeps early week versus started but so busy pushing aside. Sleep better than ever. Only dry mouth, maybe NYC streets salt causing. Bowel fine, healthier eating probably. Gym consistent, overall feel great.
 
Mine were holding up fine until the final chunk dropped. Went from DDD to C and honestly love the freedom now. Backless tops, sticky bras, everything feels good. Yours might surprise you too if you give it time.
 
70 lbs down and clothes fitting better is a real outcome - 'not thin enough for the meds' is the kind of framing that sets an impossible standard regardless of where someone starts. The meds are a tool calibrated to a health goal, not a social comparison benchmark.
 
The 'I still look like my old self' perception lag is one of the most consistent psychological patterns in weight loss - the brain's self-image updates much slower than the scale and the mirror. The old clothes reality check is one of the more effective ways to bypass the perception issue because the data is undeniable.
 
The return of social confidence as the physical change progresses is one of the more profound secondary effects - the withdrawal from situations where you felt conspicuous compounds over time and reinforces the isolation, so the reversal is not just a mood improvement but an actual re-expansion of social life. The mechanism matters less than the practical outcome; getting back into environments you'd avoided is its own compounding benefit.
 
130 lbs down and the saggy skin trade-off is the other side of major weight loss that doesn't get talked about as much as the transformation. Looking great dressed up while dealing with the appearance underneath is a real thing. 70 lbs for the OP and the friend's comment is tone-deaf in a way that only makes sense if you've never had to lose that much. Keep going.
