Reading these threads obsession!

[Sadteacher]

I think I’ve replaced my food and wine obsession with reading all these threads obsession!

I think it is because you read weight loss threads for inspiration, and so many fizzle out after a couple of weeks. On this board, you can quickly read about everyone’s amazing results. It is so positive.

It has been so useful for knowing which supplier to choose and what side effects there may be too. I’ve completely changed my mindset from ‘bah injections!’ to ordering and being on week 2 on mounjaro.

This has got to be one of the most supportive boards on mumsnet!

I am replying because I am doing the same thing. 😆 I think it will fade, it's just initial nerves and excitement spilling over and especially because we're not talking to people in real life we find a welcome outlet here.

Well I am on week ummm 14 I think and I am still obsessed with reading these threads!

Me too. I read every thread, it's so helpful, together with all of the official advice. Side effects for example are far more nuanced, not just "can cause nausea", but when, how bad, things that help etc. Always something useful to learn, and feels very supportive.

Me too! I think part of it is because I am so fascinated by it and want to talk about it but only have two people I can talk to in real life, so I come here! I love reading about everyone’s experiences.

And me!
I can't stay away from them, completely addicted.
But they're so great, and everyone is so supportive. I think it's vital as I know so many of us won't tell many in real life.

Same here. I'm autistic and have OCD so the obsession and hyperfixation can be intense for me. I've been at this off and on, finally decided to dive in and place my first order and now I can't leave this board! I'm so nervous. Help! Lol
