Let's tell two situations apart: - religious and societal pressure telling you it's not "appropriate" to have sex when relatives are visiting, AND - actual mood and desire.

To me, if mood and desire changes based on how "appropriate" something is, it's something to work on and improve - so as not to let the fairytales and societal pressure direct what you do in your own home.

Look into sourcing HCG from India. True pharma HCG. It costs pennies on the dollar that way. I purchased 10 vials but ended up not using it. 50,000 IU total for $100. GoodRX shows $300 for 10,000 IU. Big rip-off.

I'm doing great with my T 350 (weekly) + deca 300 (weekly) + var 25 (5 days a week) and I don't want to add an extra factor that could throw me off-balance. And I'm done having more kids. So I don't need HCG whatsoever.

"I lost 80 lbs and I no longer crave burgers and fries. I've not had a burger for half a year."

What this sentence is missing is the fact I'm also on GLP-1 medication which actually affects my food perception and cravings immensely. It's no longer about motivation not to eat it. I just don't feel like eating it. I'm finding fast food disgusting today. Same for alcohol, not interested even in a sip.

What this sentence is also missing is that I have been doing serious resistance training for 3 months and pushing myself extremely hard. February numbers: 23 gym days totaling 33 hours - missed only 5 days even though I travel a lot (6 flights total). With that, my body just automatically started craving protein - greek plain non-fat yogurt became my best friend.

Motivation is limited - it doesn't last forever. Long term, you need more than just motivation. Permanent lifestyle changes, more than just dieting, are required for this kind of success and cravings change.

• 262 top weight (2019)
• 215 previous lowest weight (Jan 2021)
• 245 starting weight (Mar 2024)
• 158 lowest weight (Nov 2024)
• 168 current - all gains are in muscles

Like it's even a question. Research shows that amphetamine was the one that provided the best result in 93% cases, methylphenidate in 6%, and guanfacine in 1%.

You can take amphetamine as levo- and dextroamphetamine salts mix (Adderall), pure dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine), or lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse - turns into pure dextroamphetamine within 2 hours in your body). The first two are available in instant release and extended release versions.

Some work better on different people but at the end of the day, it's still the same thing.

Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse) didn't work on me simply because 60 mg lisdex- is equivalent to 25 mg of d- & l- salts, or 20 mg of pure d-. And the dose that works well on me is 60 mg d- & l- salts. No way lisdex- could achieve anything, given the maximum allowed prescription is 70 mg.

That grin on your face when your OnePlus got from 20% all the way to 100%, when your friend's iPhone got to 30%.

As a matter of fact, I use a GCam on OnePlus 12, because the piece of shit OnePlus default camera app doesn't save precise GPS coordinates in file metadata...

And people treated me terribly afterwards. I became invisible.

Those are not equal. You're not attractive, so you don't attract others, therefore get no attention. But it's not the same as being treated terribly.

but this double standard is getting weird.

It's not getting weird. This sub has been r/marriage_from_womans_perspective_only since forever.

Translation to scientific language: liraglutide. The second GLP-1 medication created. Not as effective overall as the modern ones, and twice as expensive in cost per 1% of starting body weight lost compared to semaglutide.

My food noise was resolved with semaglutide. 1.8 mg / 6 days dose was a start but it was inconsistent. 2.2 mg / 6 days was the ultimate dose that kept it consistently under control, but still not enough to get the sense of fullness after eating what a "normal" person would eat and be full. That happened at semaglutide 2.5 mg / 6 days, and tirzepatide 6.5 mg / 6 days (offset by 3 days). Yes, this much. My body totally sucks at natural GLP-1 production. Throughout my entire life, I could be totally overfilling, having barely any space left, and I'd still try squeeze in another bite.

Anyway, this dose let's me go out, eat what I can, and when I can't, I can't, and it's the right amount of food to not overshoot my daily calorie goals (1800 kcal without workout, 2000 kcal with workout).

How else would you call a person claiming that vaccines cause autism, trace amounts of aluminum are dangerous, 5G causes cancer, and SSRIs cause mass shootings? He is an idiot, no doubt about it.

Phetermine, very low calorie diet, 40-55m cardio workout daily, then transition to semaglutide and tirzepatide, add resistance training, eventually reach 160 lbs. Now eating maintenance calories ~2000 kcal while still on GLP-1s to keep food noise at bay.

I think two people who eat the same diet and move the same amount are going to be very similar in weight. I think where the genetic component comes in is appetite. Some people feel hunger more often, crave food more often, have urges that are harder to resist than other people's. Some people can go a long time without eating without feeling hunger, don't get cravings very often, and don't have their brains constantly sending signals telling them they need to eat.

This exactly. Though whether it's purely genetic, or triggered environmentally and then your body being conditioned for it throughout the years is debatable. But ultimately, it's something about our bodies not working right.

Me since forever: always thinking about food, always eating something, and wanting more. No food ever left on the plate. Finish mine, then look for any leftovers from others. I'd be physically full, and still try to squeeze something in into that last remaining cubic millimeter of space in my stomach. Appetite for basically everything - whether that's a fast food burger, pizza, or gourmet steak, everything is game. Automatic feeling like having a Pepsi after pizza or fast food burger. Feeling proud and satisfied when extremely full and overflowing.

Me on a GLP-1 medications (top dose semaglutide, and low dose tirzepatide - this confirmation combination unchanged for 2 months now): thinking about food only when it would be appropriate for a normal BMI person to eat something. Appetite for rather healthy food only - absolutely zero fucks given about a fast food burger, fries, I would rather not eat at all than eat that (as a natural body reaction, not my conscious decision, it's not a "crave but resist" thing). I still like pizza at times but a single personal 10 inch pizza that's 1000 kcal is about right for me - provided I haven't eaten for 6 hours. Otherwise, I'm getting a box to go, and saving 1/3rds for later. Appetite for a Greek yogurt (non-fat, high protein, low carbs), fruit and veggies, smoked salmon, smoked ham (especially prosciutto), and extra dark chocolate with hazelnuts or almonds. No extra emotions from eating - just feeling I've fulfilled a need.

I eat 1700-2000 kcal a day now. Note my GLP-1 doses. They're massive. I'm definitely not a "normal" semaglutide and tirzepatide user. And that group is already not "normal" in a strict sense. I'm the extremum. Most GLP-1 users lose food noise between minimum and medium doses. Very few GLP-1ers need two medications and at my level to reach the state of "normality" for hunger, appetite and cravings. This is how my body works. It sucks without GLP-1.

I posted and commented to r/shittyrestrictionfood for a couple months before they told me it's an eating disorder sub and not a weight loss one. Welp.

And only you ED people know it.

Don't name your sub in a confusing way and you won't have dieters. Or put something in the first sentence of what this sub is.

This is the answer.

I get my supplies from Peptide Crafters. I never saw lower prices anywhere. Their stuff is good - I know my semaglutide and tirzepatide work (among other things I get from there).

Of course you should do it. Who said it's not mentally healthy? What's not healthy is being fat. If using a scale is what it takes for you to stay away from obesity, it's the way to go, and don't let others tell you otherwise.

I was fat for almost my entire life. I'm mid-low normal BMI now and loving it. I've been calorie counting since March when I was 245 lbs. Now I'm 160 and still counting. My budget is much higher now but I still need to have it under control if I want to maintain my weight.

Ah, so you're advertising your "doctor" services, got it. Given every single comment here is about DM-ing you, then you're in violation of Reddit self-promotion rules.

Any idea why my previous calories deficit of 1250 was starting to take a toll on me 8 months into the diet?

Your body was in fat burning mode, not an athlete mode.
