i’d been white-knuckling the same 12 pounds since February. My pen pal in Ireland sent a photo of her tiny kitchen scale and wrote, 'Portions here are smaller, but nobody makes a ceremony of it.' It wasn’t a lightbulb moment exactly. More like a nudge.
I started using our little Main Street pharmacy’s text reminders, got my prior auth sorted after two denial letters, and stopped treating every family cookout like a farewell tour. I’m down 31 pounds over nine months, but the better part is Sunday lunch doesn’t feel like a countdown anymore.
Has anyone else had a random note or conversation from outside the usual weight-loss spaces actually stick?
