I hesitate to jump in here, because my views are not in keeping with the current vogue of virtuous low dosing, lol, but: To my way of thinking,
you've tried every trick but the medication itself.
And the medication is why we're all here. Many of us, maybe most of us, have heroically dieted for years, with limited or short-lived success. Or great success, but damn, It was hard.
And then one day, along came sema, and then along came tirz. And omg. Everything was doable, and with so much less ... torture. The medication fixed our systems. We were happy to do the rest.
Diet tips and tricks have always been around, and they're always going to be. And they're great, and yes yes yes we should all be eating and drinking and exercising sensibly. But we are
here, in the main, because we needed and were grateful to find a medication that enabled our bodies to operate correctly. Some people's bodies require very little of the meds, but for many if not most, the higher doses are where the greatest benefits are experienced.
You are on a
very low dose.
I know, I
know ... soooo many people say
It's best to stay as low as you can. They say,
After all, what will happen when you max out?
Where will you go then?
And that's great advice, I guess —
when the medication is working for you.
But if it's
not working, what is the benefit of staying low? Indeed, what is the point of taking the medication at all?
I ask these questions sincerely, because I am often puzzled and sad that so many of our community are willing to endure a long stall, when they have at their fingertips the ability to increase their dosage until it works.
You do have a nice stash, though. You did really great with the med. It was a win win
