Coming up on 8 weeks experience
Hi! Just wanted to provide some updates as I have two more 4mg pills left. Overall, this has helped dare I say cured my BED. I struggled so much this past year with work stress, adjusting to living alone, etc. in September, my long term partner broke up with me because they weren’t attracted to me. Which as you can imagine is extremely painful. I’m 27 and really thought I would be with that person. While it’s fucked up, I did gain a considerate amount of weight and was disassociating from it for a while. I knew I had a problem but it wasn’t something I was addressing. I tried to do it the “right” way after the break up and was killing myself with exercise , however it didn’t last long until I fell right into BED habits again.
In late February I saw the infamous ro commercial and thought to give it a go- I’m done with not being secure with in my own body. I started on 2/28. I am now almost done with 4 mg and wanted to provide a bit about my experience. I have lost a decent amount (I think around 14 pounds) I try not to weigh myself as I have been lifting and working out too. In the first month, it was almost instant that my BED habits stopped. I feel so free of having that voice in my head which is great. However, on 4mg I’ve been having some acid reflux (I can deal with it) and have been pretty tired. I suffer from insomnia so being tired isn’t all so new to me.
I did have pretty bad constipation up until a few weeks ago. Now it’s shifted to the acid reflux. I will say this page has been really helpful (I had never posted on Reddit prior) in not feeling alone on this journey.
Today, I put on a skirt that had previously fit (was extremely tight) and felt it fit normally. I can actually wear it comfortably. I am trying to not be so hard on myself because I also want to still live my life (go out, drink occasionally), and I’m going on a two week Europe trip in three weeks so I want to be realistic about my progress thus far.
Anyways, that’s all!!!!!
