Possible Side Effect

Hi,

I'm about to take shot 4 of 5MG. This has been good as far as appetite suppression and food noise, and day 5/6 are ok as far as cravings. I never reach for junk any more, the most "unhealthy" thing I eat is probably pork rinds because I love the crunch and there are no carbs, no other nutrients either. I can probably kick that habit.

On 2.5 I felt towards the end of the week I was starving. So far I'm down 45 lbs. I'm very hard on myself and I don't "see" it yet, other than I do see it on the scale and in my clothes and every day doesn't end in a lot of pain, but in my mind I'm still that failing big back.

I wonder, does anyone else get pretty low or have high anxiety spikes leading up to the next shot? I feel like my mood improves after my shot and I get back "on track" for that week. I know I'm doing well with my diet changes, I know I need to be working out more but it is so hard to find the time and for that I feel like I'm failing. But where I started a few months ago to now, I am overall feeling a lot better.

Thanks for letting me vent.
