My doctor saw my BMI before they saw me..

I went to the doctor this week because I’ve been struggling mentally and wanted labs done to rule out things like thyroid issues or vitamin deficiencies before assuming it’s just depression.

For context, I’ve spent the last 5 years losing 190+ pounds, 60ish of that over the last year alone on Tirz. I’m currently 5’7” and weighed 163 lbs at the appointment (end of the day, had already eaten 2x, constipated, etc).

They had me fill out the depression screening and said I have mild depression. I’m already in therapy and actively working on my mental health/body dysmorphia, so I’m not ignoring it.

This wasn’t my usual doctor because she was booked out too far, so I saw someone else in the office, they agreed to labs and instead of really discussing my mental health concerns, the appointment immediately turned into “you need to lose weight,” “you’re not eating right,” and “you need more exercise.” The frustrating part is they never actually asked what I eat or how active I am.. they just assumed based on my BMI. I’ve been going to this same office since I was 354 lbs, so my history and progress are literally in my records already. When I explained my weight loss history, the doctor actually just said “wow that’s crazy” and moved on.

I already struggle with body dysmorphia after massive weight loss, and honestly the appointment sent me spiraling. I looked at my BMI on the paperwork afterward and it’s 25.5… literally 0.5 into the “overweight” category.

Has anyone else experienced this after major weight loss/on tirzepatide? Especially the mental side of it?

DIY Bridal - updates. Thoughts?

Hi!

I posted a few days ago and used your guys tips. I did the same eye look for both but changed the blush & lip combos. I'm curious what you all think? I'm not sure if I should try a pinker lip liner with the 2nd lipstick instead of a more pinky brown like what I used.. Does this eye look work or try something else? TIA 🖤

DIY Bridal - how can I improve?

Hi everyone!

I’m eloping in September and trying to practice my makeup now, but I’m struggling to figure out what suits me best. I think I want a soft pink look, but I’m wondering if nudes/neutrals would be more flattering for bridal makeup instead?

This is my first attempt and it’s not really giving “bride” to me yet lol. I’ll also be wearing these same glasses, and I feel like they cover a lot of the eye makeup anyway.

Any tips or suggestions are appreciated 💜

(Also included a bare skin pic in case anyone has skin prep/base suggestions!)

I wish I could capture the opalescent sapphires in the moth pendant better, the photos don't do them justice

Hi everyone!

These are all Panache Envy. I have one more on the way in size 34F. I'm not sure which one fits best or if any are correct because of the way the outer underwire sits past my breast tissue? I have bottomed out implants that fall below my imf.

Any recommendations are appreciated!! Everything feels comfortable but im also not used to having anything close to the right size so im a little lost on what exactly I'm looking for... TIA! 😁

My poor girl tore her CCL back in February and spent 8 long weeks in a cone and on strict leash rest—but she’s finally free! She’s only a little stiff when she first gets up, but otherwise she’s doing amazing. The vet said she healed beautifully and even complimented how careful I was with her (I definitely went full helicopter mode—I was not risking another surgery).

Her brother stayed right by her side the entire time 😭

Now we’re focusing on rebuilding the muscle she lost in that leg. The vet did mention there’s a high chance she could tear the other one within the next 1–2 years, but we’re staying hopeful that won’t happen 🤞

Hi everyone!

I thought I was a 38C and the calculator says 36DD. The green bra is my current one which is a Fruit Of The Loom size L, so not a specific set size. I have heavy (560cc) implants that bottomed out and weak skin from massive weight loss so my breasts are very bottom heavy & outer full, also shallow I believe.

I have ordered two bras off Amazon to try but they won't be here until Tuesday so I still have time to cancel if they're the wrong size / type.

INLYRIC Women's Cosnufy Sheer Balconette Bra Demi Unlined Plunge in 36DD

Freya Women's plus-size Freya Fancies Underwire Plunge Bra in 36DD

Measurements:

Loose 35"

Snug 34.5"

Tight 34"

Standing 39"

Leaning 40.5"

Lying 40"

I'll attach a imgur link with a couple photos for reference down below :)

TIA!!

Hi everyone!

I've slowly been going through my house and getting rid of my depression-era decor & I have a couple questions about my current setup! (I will be lowering the TV.)

Should I pull the rug out from under the side tables & forward for it to basically be touching the dresser on the TV wall? Should I add a tray under the perfumes?

Any other thoughts on improvement are appreciated! 🥰

Got my snake ring in today!

For some reason it doesn't have the emerald eyes, but I did reach out to Sam about handling that part..

Other than that it is beautiful & super comfortable! I also don't see much cloudiness in the pear which is great too!
