So I had my maintenance call with Dr. Mel at Pharmulous today and I am so impressed.
She was so incredibly knowledgeable and it was great that she could talk about her experience on the drug too. She answered all questions that I asked and made me feel a lot more confident about tackling maintenance.
I’m currently on 10mg and my next pen I’m going to go down to 7.5mg. I need to be eating around 1700 calories to maintain and I can’t manage that on 10mg which she completely understands. She said that if food noise returns on the 7.5mg and I’m eating too much, then going up to 10mg whilst on maintenance is absolutely fine.
Actually feeling a bit less daunted about maintaining my weight now!

I’ve had enough, I can’t continue to deal with my MIL and feel I’m at the point the only way I’ll ever be free of her is to divorce my husband.
She has tried to control and domineer me for years, said some awful things about me! Most recently said I’ve lost so much weight I look like a cancer victim!
She’s never looked after her grandchildren as they are ‘an inconvenience’!
I’m a guest in my own home when she visits, she starts doing unsolicited chores that I’ve not asked her to do! She’s sorted through my clothes and bagged up what she thinks I should throw out, including my lingerie! She has always disrespected me and my children. Any decisions regarding our new building works on our house, she has to have a say in. In fact, I think hubby, MIL and FIL made decisions and I’m not even consulted! I’ve had enough, I can’t do this anymore.
I have tried talking to hubby and all he does is make excuses for her, I’ve asked him to grow some balls and stand up to her for disrespecting his wife and kids but again he says ‘that’s just how she is’.

I think I’ve finally made my decision that for my own happiness and sanity and my children’s peace, I have to get away from this woman and this is the only way I can.

Sorry to vent but I’m done with all this, it’s seriously effecting my mental health!
