I ran a $8M project last year. I'm good at my job. My husband said last night, not meanly, just as an observation, that my outfits lately are "whatever." And he's right. I wear one of four shirts to work. I wear one of two sweatshirts at home. I haven't picked an outfit because I liked it in maybe two years.

I don't know what to do with this information but I also can't unhear it.

Found this article and it's one of the most honest first hand accounts of starting Foundayo I've read, the person describes appetite suppression kicking in almost immediately - faster than they expected from a pill.

But the unexpected downside is the part that really stood out and it's something this community should know about before starting.

Worth a read especially if you're currently deciding whether to start or just started recently.

 I know its very new but super interested to hear peoples experiences, particularly side effects in the first few weeks/months.

49, two years into perimenopause, and I was at dinner with a friend last week in a restaurant that was perfectly fine temperature-wise. She's known me since 2003. Halfway through the meal I reached into my bag and pulled out this black cardigan and she looked at it and said "is that the same one from Seattle" and it was. Seattle was October 2023.

i've been carrying the same cardigan in my purse for two years. Every day. It lives there. When my purse is in the wash (rare) the cardigan migrates to my car. I have not been without a cardigan within arm's reach since late 2023.

It's not a fashion choice. It's not even a practical choice really, I own loads of cardigans. This is THE cardigan. I can't predict when my body will decide the room is Antarctica and when it will decide the room is the surface of the sun, so I carry a personal thermostat in a canvas tote.

I'm not dressing for the season. I'm dressing for a body that changes climate four times a day. And honestly I think the cardigan has become a kind of emotional support garment at this point, which is embarrassing and also I don't care, it stays.

anyway. Anyone else have The Garment.
