@Azuresky68So happy for you, have a lovely relaxed weekend

NippyNinjaCrab · 02/05/2025 20:47

Fabulous news @Azuresky68 I hope you get a good wee sleep tonight. As always @weaselyeyes wise words. There was an article in the DM yesterday and it was a chap explaining that he's had patients who have used WLI, got to goal and still have to deal with the issues and trauma that their eating was helping them cope with, they have no feel good dopamine hit to make them feel comforted so are seeking help through CBT and counselling.
@owlyboo I miss DH terribly when he's away but I really am lax with my eating and walking etc when he's here! He's a bad influence and I'm easily led 😂

@Blondeshavemorefun get some prunes xx

Fantastic news @Azuresky68 what a relief. I have a family member getting results this week so hoping for a positive outcome as not ready for that rollercoaster again!

I am loving all the before and after pictures, such great results -we should all be so proud of ourselves. Who’d have thought we’d be where we are this time last year? I may even be brave enough to post my own at some point.

Well done on all the losses, sts and even small gains. I found the final stone hard to shift and looking at my stats it’s taken 3 months so don’t feel disheartened, you’ll get there.

Im clearing out my clothes that no longer fit this weekend and finding that some of my new buys are now too big! Just bought my first purchase in a 10!!

Holiday is 8 weeks away. I need to maintain. I’ve not jabbed in 2weeks but have definitely felt hungrier and not made good food choices. I have pens left, do I order another to help keep me on track…..

poppym12 · 03/05/2025 11:22

Been for a massage this morning. Very weird as she worked on my back, I could feel every rib. It's been best part of 10years since feeling like that.

Arraminta · 03/05/2025 12:13

Good morning all. I'm on holiday right now and feeling happy in my (size 10) bikinis. It's been over 25 years since I've felt this body confident by the pool. Shame I'm a lovely bright pink though! I genuinely thought I was safe sitting in the shade yesterday but, nope, still burnt.

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/05/2025 13:10

Tut tut @Arraminta slip slop slap

you can still burn in shade

but yah for 10

i can only dream

@poppym12 massage sounds lovely. My ribs are still hidden behind flab

@Usernamechangeforthis12 another 10

I had two NSVs this week. One was somewhat uncomfortable, as I went to a work thing and saw two people I hadn't seen for ages. One literally didn't recognise me and introduced herself to me (to be fair, she's seen me largely online for a while, but had also met me in person). I had to tell her who I was and she was really mortified, as she knows me fairly well; we both had to kind of pretend it was due to online meetings and my hair having gone grey, as she clearly didn't want to say I'd lost weight and neither did I! Then the second person later said to me, 'Oh, you've...changed shape', which also made me feel really uncomfortable, so I just deflected along the lines of saying she hadn't seen me for a while.

I think it should be the law that either you don't say anything about weight loss at all or that if you do, all you're allowed to say is, 'You look amazing!!' and leave it at that. I had all the discomfort of someone noticing my weight change without any of the compliments! 😀

The second NSV was better in that when I went out earlier, it was warm and I just wore a t-shirt and jeans, which I haven't done for years. For ages I would always wear an elasticated waistband to accommodate my fluctuating dimensions, plus I would never wear just a t-shirt. I'd usually wear something more tunicy and with a long cardigan or something over the top. It was very freeing to feel normalish. I caught sight of my reflection, and although I didn't look slim exactly due to the podginess-inducing apron of doom, I didn't look fat. Just thinking I didn't look fat is astonishing! I haven't felt that for about 25 years, even when I wasn't particularly fat! Hooray for looking unremarkable.

You'll never get me in a bikini, though - go you, @Arraminta! So glad you're enjoying yourself.

I found it a bit upsetting, to be honest! Like I was just a generic fat person before and that was how she recognised me. I mean, I always felt a bit like that, but I'd tell myself I was just being too sensitive - I didn't want it confirmed! 😀

I haven't posted any photos, I don't really have any of myself.

Oh I'm in envy of you still having some curves. My arse has deflated totally and now looks like an empty crisp packet, it's deeply unattractive, especially in a bikini. I'm trying to shuffle backwards everywhere!

owlyboo · 03/05/2025 19:27

@NippyNinjaCrabits definitely easier without the temptations 🤣

well done for not giving in to the cheap chocolate @morbidcuriosity

@SilverSprings510 sorry for sts! Hopefully a woosh post period!

@poppym12hope you enjoyed the massage!

wow @Arramintathat must feel wonderful! Well done enjoy those size 10 bikinis and the holiday!! My arse is also very deflated and sad!!

Glad you felt comfortable in what you wore today @weaselyeyesand are starting to feel confident in your new body!

I’m loving getting dressed in this warm weather. Last year I was so uncomfortable and hated having to dress my body. This year I’ve wearing whatever I feel like. Today I wore a size 10 pair of funky Lucy and yak colourful dungarees with a crop top underneath! Couldn’t have even dreamed of that last year!!

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/05/2025 20:53

Awwww @weaselyeyes I’m sure that’s not how she meant it

must be a pic somewhere. Even the dreaded one you had to send to get mj

the one of me in black is horrifying to me looking back but I didn’t think I was that big

I obv was. A right fat fuck

@Arraminta I still have curves /fat thi my bum is flat

My 5 in the morning thoughts.

Regarding flat bums - apparently it’s the largest muscle in the body and I’m wondering if the flat bums are a good indication of the muscle loss said to happen with WLI rapid weight loss. Not that muscle loss is only associated with WLI but this is a WLI thread so I’m trying to stick to that.

Also, something the WeeNinja said about an article she’d read re issues and trauma and it’s prompted me to ask if anyone else adopted a whole person approach to our WLI journey from the outset? Or perhaps even from before the injections and it was the early part of the journey that brought them to WLI?

And that takes me back to flat bums - so much of what I read on the WLI boards is all about losing weight, it’s a persons main focus, it’s all that matters, and I do wonder how many amongst those on the injections have seriously exercised as part of this process from day one/beforehand. And serious doesn’t have to mean PT/gym styled work outs 4 times a week as well as thousands of steps a day. It can even mean a consistent approach to moving more every day and improving on your fitness with some basic homebased strength training or fitness classes.

My way of doing this was via the whole person approach to things. The injections were the last piece of the jigsaw after about 8 years of really hard work that took me back to my childhood then back to where I am now. Then just last week I’d decided I’m going to start counselling/therapy again when I go home as I know I’m needing help living a heartbreaking situation 2 of my grandchildren are in, and that me and my children are helpless to do anything about apart from loving them and making their lives easier anyway we can.

In an ideal world Id go to court for custody of them but I’d never get it because of my age and the fact I have my son to look after, and the way the law works where I am my children wouldn’t get custody either so that’s a non starter as well.

I have used the court system before though and that turned out really well but my goodness these last 9 months really have highlighted the extent of the emotional and physical pain I have in me about this situation. But it’s not that I didn’t know, I did, but it’s never going to go away as the children’s situation will be ongoing for quite some time yet, and I need help to live and deal with the heartbreak of it, for lots of reasons.

Anyway, that’s my musings at 5 in the morning and I’m hoping they went full circle I intended 🤣

I heard that story on the news a few days ago but couldn’t work out why it was news as the concept has been in the public domain for ages now. I was expecting to hear it was going to happen for it to be the headlines on the BBC but no, not that it won’t be great if and when it does.

poppym12 · 04/05/2025 10:06

Appetite suppression has finally returned this morning (jabbed last night). Quite disappointed with myself as I've been greedy the last couple of days and overeaten. 12.5 doesn't seem to work for me like 10mg did for a few weeks.

Hope you're all enjoying the lovely weather. I'm off to the beach as it's very warm today with less breeze.
