Soooo.... Ive lost a lot of weight, and have gotten a lil judgmental.

I wish it were easier to get people to at least consider GLP drugs, my son and his friend are both pretty overweight, and could really benefit from GLP's and skip the part where you do not do anything about it until after horrible health consequences ensue years later. But briefly mentioning it once is about as much as is socially acceptable if they are not interested
My son could also really benefit but refuses to even engage in conversation about it. I don't get it. If someone had offered me these drugs in my early 20's it would have changed my whole life.
I have absolutely told everyone I know who's struggling and set them up, hard to engage a stranger though. I think it's good to want to share a big solve you've discovered, I'm so grateful to the person who showed me this world.
 
I sometimes think about getting cards made at Quikprint so that I could hand them out to the morbidly obese people that I encounter.
you should do it 😁
I stare. I never fully recovered all my social habits after COVID-era was over because so much of my life is still solitary (got a COVID-divorce, stayed working remote, found out I actually preferred a lot of solitude), so I got a problem with staring anyway that I'm working on. But I stare at fat people, thinking about "I wonder if she's uncomfortable? I wonder if it hurts him to carry so much? I wonder if he knows about it and is already on it, and if he's not, what's stopping him?" til I realize I'm doing it and stop it RIGHT THIS SECOND, and hope to God nobody who would be hurt by it saw me do it.

A very, very big woman in a beautiful dress, with beautiful hair, walked by me at a concert today. Her walk was very slow and also very majestic. I was sitting there thinking "I wonder what her walk would look like if she didn't have to carry so much, would it still be majestic at a higher speed? Her dress is so lovely, I wonder if she'd still wear that style if she had other options" and then realized I'd turned my goddamn head and stopped that, and made a mental note that if I'm going to go out more often like this, I NEED to get my manners back up.
I've never read the Jeependo drama thread before... your synopsis got me dying over here 🤣 final solution 😭😭😭
 
I think alot of people are hesitant to explore glp's just out of ignorance and fear. the early adopters walking around looking all sucked up is what turned me off initially.

then cost comes up next. I mean it didn't take me too long to find out about the white powder but until I did I was dropping serious cash on compounded.

My good friend asked me if I was sure there wasn't coke in the vial after she started the journey. She was like I feel the appetite suppression was like when she was sniffing the good stuff.
 
I haven't gotten my self esteem back (not that I've ever had any), I still see myself as the fat person in the room. Don't know if I'll ever break free from that.

PS- Fuck you too...as I reach for my vape

Same. No matter how thin I get, I will always be a fat girl in my own eyes.

I truly wish these drugs had been around when I was in my 20's or 30's or 40's or even teens, I got offered different sorts of drugs, which did not work out as well.
 
I get it, for me something that started to pop in my mind about 2 years into my journey. In no way negative, just that I would love to help everyone if they had the desire. Before the GLP1s I never thought this was a realistic possibility, enjoy eating lower quantity of food without crazy restrictions and losing 130+ lbs. For some people I have shared options with simply thought this life was out of financial reach which is sad.

I do think in some ways it mirrors those who conquered addiction and found religion, a sincere desire to help others struggling.

Same. Same.
 
Speaking of smoking, August first is my quit date. I don't want to, but I'm getting my eyes done, and they won't heal right if I don't. I've switched mostly to a vape in the meantime so I can separate out the sadness of not lighting a smoke from the misery of not being able to inhale nicotine and not try to do both at once. It's going surprisingly well! (I'll have to stop the vape too when it's time.)

IMO, it's harder to quit vaping than smoking. Don't do it if there's any way to avoid it. This suxx.

It's honestly the identity-freakout depression that's hurt me the most when I've quit before. I've smoked since I was a kid, and my kid days are decades behind me. Lighting a cigarette makes me feel instantly cool and badass and exactly who I like to think of myself as, a bored, zero-fucks-given action-movie antiheroine from the 80's, and losing that hurts so badly. It has to stop; 45 is so late to stop and my lifespan is almost certainly shortened already, and I genuinely cannot afford to wait any longer. But oh does it hurt!

Okay, Ripley, this is how it goes. I was a smoker too, and worse, I used to smoke what was perhaps the most addictive, god-awfully awesome tasting cigarette in the world. But I moved from the 40 cigs a day to vaping. It's gotten worse. Screw the 45 late to stop..Anytime is excellent to quit. The only better time is right now. Try the gum, or if possible, knock yourself out for a day or two. From experience, it's hardest in the first few days. If you can overcome that, put every nicotine-consumer around you on a Kill List, and you will be golden. Oh yeah, and do not go to India ever.
 
Going from nearly 350 to 131 as of this am, I have incredible compassion for them all. I would never judge them or give unsolicited advice, but if I was approached by someone looking for help, id definately share my journey and what it took to get here.
Incredible, life changing success. And by the way, your kindness to share is what comes through the most from your post.

If it wasn't for vapes I would go back to smoking in a heart beat. I quit smoking in 2002, picked up vaping instead of cigs in 2010...sighhhhh. To this very day, when a friend lights up a cigarette, part of me wants to rip it out of her hands and run off with it...still love the smell of fresh smoke (hate the smell of stale smoke).
At least with vaping my clothes don't stink and my husband will kiss me. 😍

Totally get that, my significant other still smokes and its pretty digusting. I wish she would vape, it would make a huge difference in a lot of things.
 
Same as when I quit smoking and then quit vaping. Which is crazy ridiculous since at 330 I was constantly the fattest fuck in the room everywhere I went.

But now.... at 213 when I see morbidly obese overweight people I pity them, want to help them, mention to my girl I should offer them some tirz. I know, not cool, I guess its similar to I cant stand smokers anymore, or folks that vape.

Like I've overcome and beyond all that ( for now 😅 ) and somehow experienced more personal growth or whatever than they did. Know thats bullshit, and stupid fucking thoughts on my part but here I am, silently judging fat people when 9 or 10 months ago I was one of the very fattest around.

Anyone else maybe secretly feel similar?!?! I dont hate big people, pity them and now i want to help them. Fuck the smokers and vapers tho 😊😅🤣
* except you randomperson you rock!!!

😃
honestly, if your opinion didn't change on how others appeared to you doing things like smoking or being the way your body once was - then that's a problem too! your mentality has to change in order to stick with your results. I've lost & regained before, & when I was fat, I still hated the way it looked. As long as you're not hurting others & keep your opinions to yourself, I see no issue
 
I totally get you. But there is a fine line between wanting to help and being a moral high horsing "ex-fat girl" superior attitude.

I don't like people who shit on fat people just for being fat, but I despise people who used to be fat but shit on other fat people because they think they are better.
