Witnessed a Tesco worker losing his head in Tottenham

So last week (Tuesday), I went to the BTS concert at the Tottenham Stadium. It was brilliant!

However, my partner and I made a pit stop at a big Tesco in Tottenham for some lunch in the cafe. They had no food so we settled for two cans of fizzy drink.

This guy walks up to the serving window and threw a sausage at one of the workers. Well before I knew it the Tesco worker came flying out, pushed the guy over and yelled something along the lines of “don’t fucking throw sausage at me!”

When the Tesco worker pushed sausage guy over. Sausage guy’s trousers fell down. He also wasn’t wearing underwear. Yup. It was on full view in Tesco cafe. I am scarred lmao.

Another Tesco worker helped sausage guy up and escorted him outside. I was literally shaking cause wtf just happened. My partner was saying “don’t worry, it’s oke, the worker will get fired.”

Honestly the whole situation was kinda mad and like if someone told me, I probably wouldn’t believe them but shits crazy.

My partner also told me when we went to costa earlier there was a bloke asking for a boiling cup of water to take out. Worker said no and gave it in a mug. He then asked her to put it in a takeaway cup and they said no. Then he just left.

As someone from a rural area who has visited London many times and it’s been uneventful…what the fuck is going on there sometimes???

ETA:
Both parties are in the wrong. The guy shouldn’t have thrown the sausage and the worker should not have shoved him over. Nowhere did either of say “we hope he gets sacked”. Actions have consequences. I don’t believe retail workers should have to put up with being harassed / assaulted at work. Yes the worker did escalate things. The guy threw the sausage and then did nothing. Suddenly he’s being violently pushed over.

NEITHER PARTY IS IN THE RIGHT HERE!!!

NHS Telephone Appointment for Fatigue

Not looking for advice. Just wanting to vent.

It was already going to well when she asked me what my reason was for the appointment? Uh idk read my notes? She asked me about diet, sleep, caffeine, exercise etc. I told her I had a blood test at the start of May and they told me everything was fine.

I’m falling asleep at work and having naps on the weekend. I said I know PMOS causes fatigue but wanted to know if there was anything the NHS could help me with. Her response? “oh I didn’t know that PMOS could cause that”. Now I don’t expect them to know every single thing about every condition but PMOS is in my notes and it literally says about tiredness on the NHS website.

So she basically said it could be long covid and unofficially recommended that I have a cup of tea in the afternoons…speechless. genuinely speechless. she was so cheerful about it too, you’d think she’d cured me on the spot.

i’m tired. physically and mentally.

Weight Loss & Changing Bra Sizes

So I’ve been losing weight since September 2025 and I’ve found it interesting how our bra sizes change.

September 2025
Weight: 12st 8.5lbs / 176.5lbs / 80.0kg
Bra Size: 36FF

November 2026
Weight: 12st 1lbs / 169.0lbs / 76.6kg
Bra Size: 34F

June 2026
Weight: 11st4.6lbs / 158.6lbs / 71.9kg
Bra Size: 32GG

It’s interesting that after losing 1st3.9lbs / 17.9lbs / 8.1kg I have gone down 2 band sizes but went down a cup and then went 4 cup sizes 🤣

boobs are weird and mystical and the only science they obey is gravity 🤣

i still have 2st4.6lbs left to lose and as much as i love it here, the plan is very much to leave. which makes me a little sad because the fitters at bravissimo are magical and i don’t know if i trust anyone else 🤣

how to manage fatigue pls help!

i’m 23yo from England.

i’m so tired all the time. i work from 8am-17:30pm mon-fri. my partner says in the morning it’s like trying to wake the dead getting me awake. i just cannot keep my eyes open. every afternoon for about an hour i’m nodding off at work and struggling to keep my eyes open. it’s stressing me out. what if i get caught asleep. it’s not my fault. every afternoon on the weekend i’ll have at least an hour nap.

15th of june i started taking the Holland & Barrett Iron & Vitamin C supplement and i’m not noticing any difference. I also take the Boots Habi Bedtime Sleep Gummies every night before bed.

i do around 45mins-1hr of exercise mon-thurs because i’m losing weight. i do yoga on saturday mornings and sometimes go swimming on sunday for about 30 mins.

i go to bed at around 9:45-10:20pm and try to get up before 7am at the very latest.

i went to the doctor and got blood test done. they told me everything is satisfactory. i am at my wits end and i feel like i’m going crazy.

do i go back to the doctors again? i don’t want to be a nuisance 🥲

Age old question…should I go up?

feeling stuck as to whether i should go up to 15mg?

my loses have always been fairly small. i’ve had a few big hitters but as you can see my weekly average is 0.4lb/wk. yesterday (18/06) I did feel a little bit hungry before lunch. I’d had special k (7am), small yogurt pot (9:45am) and a small pot of strawberries (10:40am).

is it worth going to 15mg to see if i can get some slightly bigger loses? or should i do another 12.5mg pen? i’m a bit nervous going to the highest pen (15mg) when i still have 2st4.6lbs / 32.6lbs / 14.78kg left to lose. i also have PMOS which probably accounts for the smaller loses.

PMOS (PCOS) has made me feel like the worst version of myself

I don’t know how I’m meant to live like this. I’m so fucking stressed about everything all the time. I’m so exhausted as the time no matter how much sleep I get. My PMOS affects my hypermobility because it’s all inflammatory and shit and hurts all the time. I’m losing weight to improve my health and because I struggle with the foods I eat, I’m not getting enough protein so I’m losing muscle. I’ve never felt so weak. I keep getting really snappy with partner and I feel awful because he is amazing and he does so much for me. I’m tired and overwhelmed and stressed.

I work from 7:45 - 17:30, Monday to Friday. Sat at a desk. I struggle to stay awake in the afternoon. My job is stressful but I can’t afford to not work. The job market in the UK right now is in the gutter and I’m feeling guilty for not being more appreciative that I have the privilege of working. I’m spending around £300 a month on Mounjaro so my stupid fucking body with this stupid fucking syndrome can do its job. Even then I’m losing an average of 0.4lb/wk.

I’m only 23 and I feel so behind and stressed. I hate seeing all of these PMOS influencers showing off their lives and how they just quit their day jobs and it made their lives so much better. Oh it must be nice. Yes I’m fucking jealous. I’m sure their lives aren’t perfect but I guarantee they have it better off.

I don’t know what to do and I don’t know how to do this anymore. I feel like I’m becoming a weak and bitter shell of a human. I’m so angry and frustrated and it’s so tiring. I’m typing this at work with tears welling in my eyes and a voice in my head telling me to get a fucking grip and that life is hard. It all just feels so unfair and I feel like a whiny child.

I’m not looking for sympathy, I want reassurance that I’m not the only one who feels this way. Please tell I’m not the only one.

I don’t want to die but it has to be better than this at some point?

I hate blood tests…all they do is lie

For context: I (F23) have PMOS and Hypermobility. I’m currently on Mounjaro for help losing weight.

I keep having these “crashes” and they can happen from around 12:30 to 15:30 and they usually last for 30-45mins. I cannot keep my eyes open. It’s a struggle for me to stay awake. I work in an office and am sat down all day as well.

Seeing a problem with the above I submitted a request via NHS app. Cool, book in for blood work. Get the blood taken (probably about 4 vials for about 7 of different things).

I get the results back. All of them are ‘Satisfactory’ with ‘No Further Action’.

So naturally, I sent an enquiry about the results.
Doc: Everything is fine ☺️
Me: So is the tired just from PMOS and Hypermobility? Can I do anything about it?
Doc: Yes it is. Just live a healthy lifestyle and eat a balanced diet.
Me: 😞

So what now? I do both of those things still tired. I guess I start looking for supplements but I don’t want to live the rest of my life needing to have an afternoon nap or my body trying to force me into having one. Weekends are better because I can usually have a nap at least but it’s so frustrating still. I’m obviously not fine but hey the bloods are satisfactory so we’re all good! 😝😑

How do I accept that this is forever?

I’m F23 and have PMOS (prev. PCOS) and hypermobility. Both of these cause fatigue, pain and impact my ability to lose weight. I’m paying £270 something a month for Mounjaro just so I can lose weight.

How am I meant to accept at the age of 23 that this is the rest of my life? How is anyone supposed to accept that? I don’t want this. I want to be normal. I want more research to be done. I’m so tired of having to research every little thing I eat or everything I want to do. It’s so tiring.

I have to avoid stress because otherwise it makes my PMOS worse. I work from 7:45 to 17:30, monday to friday. It’s a stressful job and it’s tiring sitting at a desk all day. The job market is non-existent so I have nowhere else to go and I couldn’t afford only having a part-time job. I want to work but it’s so tiring. It’s hard to wake up in the morning.

I got bloods done recently for a whole bunch of things. Everything was ‘Satisfactory’. Doctor just said to live a healthy lifestyle. Why do I have to research what I need to do to help my body? These doctors went to Uni, why aren’t they supporting me?

It feels like screaming into the void. I feel so hopeless.

8 Months - 16.5lbs down

(F23)

For a lot of people this would be 2 months progress and I thought that my progress would be exactly the same. I have PMOS (formerly PCOS) and it comes along with lots of exciting “perks”. One of them being insulin resistance.

I had been try to lose weight since 2023 with not much success and I always felt like I was doing something wrong. Everyone was saying “It’s just calories in, calories out” and “Just make sure you hit 10k steps everyday”. As much as I tried I had no idea that my body was conspiring against me 🤣

Summer 2025 I was diagnosed with PMOS and on Saturday 30th of August I took my first dose of 2.5mg of Mounjaro.

I felt normal. I wasn’t have massive crashes 1hr before lunch. I wasn’t thinking about food all the time like I used to. Most important I was losing weight.

My weightloss has been slow and definitely not steady but I actually prefer it. I want this to serve as a reminder to all of you here who aren’t losing 2lbs every week that you are succeeding!

I’m now on 12.5mg which I’m not best pleased with as we all know how expensive this medication is. I am slightly worried that I only have one dosage above me and I still have 2st6lbs left to lose but I’m putting that to the back of my mind.

It’s weird because I thought when I lost 1st I would look in the mirror and go “wow!” but actually I didn’t feel much different. That’s the hardest part. To me those photos look the same. No matter how much my lovely mother and my wonderful partner tell me otherwise, I can’t spot the difference. I know it’s there because I see the scales.

I don’t know how to end this post but I do know I still have a while to go. I always remember, marathon not a sprint. ☺️

PCOS is for People with Money

PCOS is a condition for people that have money and let me explain. This is all my own experience.

Problem: Diet - PCOS requires a fairly strict diet to make sure that we aren’t gaining weight or getting non-diabetic hyperglycaemia.
Solution: At least a nutritionist to take away the mental load of figuring out what to eat everyday. Possibly a chef to do the cooking.

Problem: Weight Management - A lot of people with PCOS have Insulin Resistance. Long story short, it contributes to weight gain.
Solution: GLP1 (again this is based on my experience and what i have read). They are very expensive for the average person and some people may take it for life.

Problem: Stress Management - Stress can cause weight gain, acne, more hair growth, further disrupt menstruation worsen metabolic dysfunction. We are also more at risk of anxiety and depression.
Solution: For me personally it would be having the financial freedom to go from a stressful full-time job to a less stressful part-time job.

All of these things require money and honestly i’m so sick and tired of it. I want a normal functioning body. I’m so fatigued all the time, to the point of trying to stay awake at work. It leaves me with minimal energy to do things like going to the gym to make sure that I’m losing weight and the money I’m spending on Mounjaro isn’t going down the drain.

It’s hard work and I want to give everybody here a huge hug 🫂💜

eta: thank you for the award 🫶🏻

eta2: the chef part was lowkey a joke but it wasn’t very clear but i was mad at my pcos and just seeing red so i forgot to put a laughing face or something 🤣 ik the internet can be really crap sometimes but i just think it’s beautiful in the comments section of this post that there’s loads of us in the same boat so i’m sending love to allllll of you cysters!😽
