i grew up fat in asia. not the typical chubby type, but fat. i hated my body and would try to lose weight since elementary school but it's basically impossible in my household (sedentary family, oily cooking, carbs overload). when i finally break free and study abroad, i eat better, i work out, i cured my pmos and went from obese type 1 to normal bmi. my mother, who also struggles with her weight since she was pregnant with me, hated it. id be fine if she's genuinly concerned about my health and worried that im sick leading to my weight loss. however, this is not the case in my family. ever since i was a kid, any attempts to lose weight or eat healthy is tied to me liking a boy/me being fatshamed by a boy/ me being ungrateful about my parents' cooking. now that im at a healthy weight, my mother constantly shamed me that im doing it for my boyfriend (he loved me unconditionaly throught my weight loss journey, he loves me the same at bmi 31 and 19), im on drugs, im using weight loss drug, i had liposuction. she even sent my dad and my sister to interrogate me to check if im on weight loss shots. she crashes out anytime she sees me (i live abroad so we only meet once or twice a year) and would say that it is impossible for me to lose that much weight. i hate it so much, i hate how their terrible upbringing and lack of knowledge on nutrition made me obese, now i finally unlearn the bad habit and became healthy, they hated me for it.

Hi guys :D Ive been on mounjaro since 24 feb this year and went from 70kg to 49kg right now. I dont have an usual GP and tbh the clinic I went to is kinda chill and dont really care what dosage I use. However, they also dont offer much advices since it's a different person every appointment and they don't speak english well, ik it's fishy but it's the only option near me with appropriate price. I was on mounjaro originally for pmos and fatty liver diseases, and I think I should start thinking about tapering down now. However, I don't know if I should taper down then stop, or go on maintenance for life. I would be devastated if I regain the weights, as a girl who've been overweight since elementary school and can't lose weight ever, these past few months and being skinny has been the best moments of my life.
Can I have your stories on taper down and maintenance? Thank you!

i've been learning about the culture and experimenting a lot for the past 3 months. i love the gyaru make up and how the droops make my eyes 100x bigger, i love the spirit, the freedom, the flexibility of being gyaru. but i know one of the core part of being gyaru is to be rebellious about japanese beauty standard but i love my pale skin, i love being skinny, i love being pretty, and getting compliments :( idk why but when im going to the gym to try to lose weight i just often think if im gyaru enough when im actively hating my body and trying to be skinnier. i dont hate people who are different from the beauty standard, i just hate those feature on mysel
