I’m like $2000 miles away from getting delta status next year, but one of their cards gives you $2500 every year, so I got it lmao.

It has an annual fee but I think it will be worth it because with status, I’ll be able to get upgraded seats and such. And I’m flying a lot for this job and I’m really starting to hate how uncomfortable it is.

Plant of the Day

Saturday 23 November 2024

The starry seed heads of the perennial Eurybia × herveyi (Hervey's aster) have as much display value through the winter as the pale lavender-blue flowers of late summer and autumn. This hybrid is more resistant to mildew than other varieties.

I saw my primary today about my blood pressure and she actually didn’t bring up anything about my weight, but again she brought up the Mediterranean diet and I was like I literally can’t eat that many beans, and she was like, oh yeah. And that was that.

But I actually brought up my weight and she was like yeah obviously that’s a factor. And she said she would prescribe wegovy when I meet my insurance requirements for next year but I also need to learn to manage my weight on my own so I can keep it off when I’m not on wegovy anymore. And I broke down and I was like I literally can’t. I’ve had eating disorders in the past and it’s literally out of my control. And she’s like well you should get counseling and blah blah blah. Like no lady. Counseling is bullshit. It literally lives in my brain and it’s like a primal force. I can’t do anything about it. I can’t “think” or “willpower” my way out of it. That’s why I’m fat to being with. That’s why I lost my gallbladder. I need the medication to take control so I don’t have to deal with it.

So the donuts didn’t hurt me… I am in shock. I am confused. So I said cool and got the lava cakes from dominos (with a gluten free pizza lmao).

Maybe I should retest the pasta and see if wheat is actually a problem for me or if it was a fluke???

I just had my first binge tonight in so long…

What sucks is I know it’s going to cause me pain because it’s one of my worst fodmaps but I couldn’t help it. My body said I NEED IT AND I WONT STOP UNTIL YOU GIVE IT TO ME.

And to top it off, I def have super high blood pressure. I have an appointment to talk to my primary tomorrow.

Maybe I should just do a glp-1. My insurance is going to cover it next year. Only qualification is being diagnosed with a cardiovascular disease (which I would now meet) and doing weight counseling for six months prior. Idk if my dietitian for IBS counts or not.

I’m kind of embarrassed to try wegovy and also nervous about long term side effects and what happens when you stop it, but I don’t really think I have a choice at this point. I can’t lose weight by sheer will power because I’ll will myself into anorexia again. I think wegovy is my only option since it’s covered by insurance now.
