    Me, yesterday.

    Long-ish day at school, my girlfriend went to friends for karaoke. I had the option of either going with her, going to table tennis practise, or go play Magic at our LGS for FNM.

    I chose option D: stay home, smoke weed, watch YouTube, and play video games. Really needed it.

    “fuck yeah I feel great”

    gets trendy haircut to make it look like I don’t have thin hair

    “fuck yeah I feel younger”

    gets news glasses and clothes

    “fuck yeah I LOOK great”

    goes out to bar to see if I catch attention

    gets attention

    thinks: “fuck yeah, I’m in the game.”

    freezes

    So yeah. I like home. Home is safe.

      That’s a success story.

      Safe spaces is not where you grow and learn. That happens outside the comfort zone. Uncomfortable emotions will come up and they will pass.

      Succeeding on the first try shouldn’t be expected. Try again.

        imagine pinning that up at your local school …

        that would cause a shitstorm for sure. and they’d be right.

        Thanks! Yeah. I wish I could say it was hard. But wegovy was easy. I’m weaning off of it too, and so far no weight has come back.

          Modern medicine is a marvel. I’m starting semaglutide too and so far it’s having a huge effect on my habits, but I haven’t lost too much weight yet.

            It takes a bit. I didn’t really start losing weight until 1.7mg dose. I went up to 2.4mg originally but I lost 10 lbs in two weeks so they brought be back to 1.7 for a month or two before bumping me back to 2.4mg /week.

            Now, weaning off of it, I’m at 2 weeks between 2.4g doses. Then it will be 3. If I still don’t lose weight, then I win.

    As I get closer to 50 years old I begin to understand this. I still choose to go out most days but I start to see the appeal of just… Not.

    That would not have scared child me. Child me would be delighted she wasn’t been dragged to various things her mother wanted her to do.
