I found that the pills just didn't work as well. So it's the injection for me. I don't know why the pills didn't seem to work, but they would at first feel like too much of a dose then wear off in just a few days instead of lasting the full week.
But the pills seem to work for some people so it's just an observation.
Will there ever be recognition of how intense and annoying "being on a diet" can be?
Food is a fundamental part of being alive. Having to ignore hunger has a huge impact on mood, concentration, and your ability to function.
Now my only diet focus is on "eating vegetables" since it's tempting to eat fats and carbs first and if I do I'm too full to eat any vegetables or fruit.
So I try to eat the veggies first. But that is fun to do.
I've lost weight and "kept it off" and it's not about willpower. It's about how I'm not fighting with my body anymore.
I'm also not depressed anymore.
Turned out most of my depression was tied to the strict diet I lived with and hated (I was still always hungry and still overweight. I was trying so hard and failing. That's depressing.)
Now there is no strict diet. I'm not overweight so the anxiety is gone.

The ability to digest food quickly was probably an advantage for my ancestors. Not helpful in the modern world where food is abundant.
There are moral judgements we project on to weight and diet. Notions of "self control" and goal setting.
For me? This has all proven to be totally irrelevant.
I can run up five flights of stairs and not be out of breath, I can walk several miles for fun. I take my meds. It's not that complex.

The most important thing about GLP-1 weight loss drugs like ozempic that I wish more people understood was this:
These are drugs you take for the rest of your life. They change how fast your body can digest food. By slowing digestion down, some people find that they are less hungry and we lose weight. If you stop taking the drug this effect stops and you slowly gain the weight back.

I've been to rodeos. I've even been to hockey games. I have been around several blocks.
I hate to assume that people are being manipulated however I just can't see Nicki following Don Lemon's coverage of a protest. So she is getting this from a right wing news outlet.
Moreover the logic of "have one black person criticize another oooo" is how white right wingers think.
Someone told her this would be impressive or something but it's not.
I don't think anyone is paying any attention?
Other than the sad spectacle of another talented star imploding.
Did you see the webapp from @c9a? Neat stuff.
And I posted a photo of the actual cards.
Do murals at the underpass count?
But then I think "the fall of literature" is like at least 400 years in? or maybe 1000?
I wonder if people of the stone age shook their head at the "decline in cave drawing" and "the fall of the story by the fire"
People have been saying "hip hop is dead" for 25 years!
Drinking water in two bridges like I have cafe muffin money.
Yeah I'll buy a bagel.
I'll even buy a coffee.
Just give me the damn key.
I'm a hy hy hy hydrated roller.
Yes, and I once filmed some of my ants doing surgery on an ant with what was basically a club foot when she was a pupae so that when she emerged later she could walk. Here is the video:

ah. missed that spelling error.
My most common earworms:
"hormigas: hermanas hermosas"
"life it never die, women are my favorite guy"
What are yours?
"Appalachian Chupacabra"
Is a charming nickname for the right sort of person. Perhaps you know them? Help them find themselves and give them this name.
... do you know how many "neighbors" I have. I have 10,000 neighbors.
But I will answer for the people on my floor.
This is one of the easier parts of doing this for the city. The city has the parks, sidewalks, streets and many buildings and other places that it can use rent free. Likewise there are many existing toilets that are just... closed. Taking up space and no one can use them.
For the plumbing there is a RFP for ideas and some copying of what they are doing in other cities.
My major concern is long term funding.
Well lets see if this is a big enough program.
Doing things in NYC means go big or go home. For this to have an impact it will need to have a secure funding source and it should take about a year or two to spin up.
I will be watching.
