I can make you feel better but

Negroni diet, all!

waist is just a number

An irrational number

jesus, last time I wore 28 waist jeans, 56k dial up modems were cutting edge tech

I've been a 38 for as long as I can remember tbh, sizes aren't the boss of me

inches are imperialist iirc

I go for relaxed fit 40 waist jeans these days, but it's not really my waist size, honest. I just like to wear oversized clothes!

i think i'm 42-36-38. or something like that. i'd love to get my waistline down a little more but ehhh i'm not too fussed

I just had to upgrade my normal jeans from 32 to 34 because of stubborn lockdown weight gain. I am less upset about the weight gain now that I have pants that fit me again!

I wear a 34 waist. There was a time when I wore a 36 but then I got diabetes and lost like 25 pounds in a few weeks and have never gone back up.

Not a recommended weight loss regimen.

I have a baseless feeling that Ozempic® is gonna turn out to be something not that great in the future.. maybe not Thalidomide, but still a problem

it's not so great right now so that's a pretty accurate prediction

Can it get u hi?

Love the commercials where they pointedly refer to weight loss but then have to reiterate THIS IS FOR DIABETES, REPEAT THIS IS A DIABETES DRUG HONEST TO GOD

The elders of this site need to get in contact with the Catholic Church and share ideas on how to draw a younger crowd to their old and dying congregations. I'm crumbling under the weight of responsibility here guys

Was Alfred-sized (29) until approximately the pandemic, am now "not technically obese" (34-ish, 5'9")
& I'm fine with that I just don't wanna get diabetes.
When I see photos of myself from 5 years ago I look way too skinny, like to a degree that it's super weird, even though I somehow felt a little pudgy then.
Guess the happy medium would be 32 waist

I know someone whose mom died from taking the old school diet pills… dexatrim I think? I remember the ads from when I was a kid

Talk about a recipe for abandonment issues and body image trauma… I mean, fuck those drugs and fat shaming

Amén!! ^^^^

I don’t know what my friend was prescribed ~15 years ago by a shady weight loss doc but they felt like taking 3 Yellow Jackets.

man....

i wonder what t-love is doing right now.

idk what thread the diet pill discussion is coming from, but i'm not coming within a country mile of ozempic. i don't blame anyone for using it - my qpp is 550 pounds, if it's going to help her not die i'm strongly in favor - but i'm 190 pounds and 5'7". i'm not fat because i'm _lazy_ or _gluttonous_ or anything like that. ime obesity isn't just some somatic thing, it's a trauma response. i don't get the sense that ozempic is gonna do a lot to heal trauma in the people who take it. that alone is enough for me to look at it and say "well this looks like trouble".

if i'm wrong, i'll be thrilled. if this does turn out to be a miracle drug that ends obesity and allows everyone to have a fundamentally healthy relationship with food without EDs, awesome! until and unless that turns out to be the case, i'm not gonna ask my doctor for a prescription.

and like for reference my psych is saying she might switch me to dexedrine for my ADHD, which is basically speed lol.

if you start taking dexedrine your posts here might get a little long. :)

i love the idea of taking adhd drugs because i love drugs. i wish i didn't love stuff so much.

i will say this. when i hear from people taking ozempic they all lost as much weight as i did when i stopped eating sugar. i ate everything else. just no sugar. and i ate fruit. which seems safer than taking some unknown pill but its can be really hard for people to do it. i did it for one solid year. it got easier. but stress/holidays put me back on the sugar train. and i gained most of the weight back.

like that's the thing it's STRESS. i'm on a lot of meds and the trade-off is that i don't drink and i don't do drugs, the meds are one of the main ways i personally deal with the stress. and i do other things as well, i try to exercise, take care of myself, eat healthy, cut out the gluten, and life is still fucking stressful, and that has effects on people. overeating isn't the most healthy way of managing that stress, but it's not necessarily the least healthy way in a lot of cases either.

i fucking hate that i'm on ADHD drugs (right now i'm on adderall) because they _are_ addictive, they _are_ a drug of abuse, and i do have a history of drug dependence. with me it was benzos. i have a lot of anxiety, and in about 2003 i had a "nervous breakdown" or whatever and they put me on benzos, and didn't tell me about the withdrawal syndrome, and it nearly fucking killed me. i don't love taking drugs. i wish i didn't have to take adderall, but i gotta function at my horrible shitty job and adderall gives me the ability to function. i'd prefer to not have to conform to the meaningless requirements of my horrible shitty job, but that's not a choice i have right now. i take enough adderall to be able to function at the bare minimum level. and maybe i should aim higher. maybe i should be, like, you know, maybe i could be _happy_, maybe i could _enjoy_ life, maybe i wouldn't struggle every day to function. but i don't, because my real addiction isn't food or drugs or anything like that. my real addiction is suffering. i'm working on healing from that addiction, but it's fucking hard.

what was that you were saying about my posts maybe getting a little long?

like, what, _alone_? jesus god, my panic disorder is bad enough. when i wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep i write haha

figuring out what you have to do to get by/survive IS friggin' stressful. one day at a time. which is so stupid. but there ya go. one day at a time. its all you can do. BUT, if you do find something healthy/not terrible that makes things better...?? do that a lot! unfortunately for me it means watching a lot of t.v. i'm really good at it. but it calms me down. what can i say? and i don't want drugs in my life anymore.

Drugs are fun! (I don't like pills though).

My mom doesn’t remember… and I kinda wanna say, “Mom, you remember Mrs Schmidt’s address from 40 years ago, you really don’t remember how menopause affected your digestive system? You don’t have alzheimers mom wtf”
