i had not thought about it that way and it is genuinely the clearest explanation of what i did wrong. i skipped a dose i had not met.
comment on reta phase 2 was −24.2% at 48 weeks and people quote it like it is a maintenance number in c/retatrutide · 96 points · 2 days ago
same, and "settled once i stopped escalating" is the phrase i wish i had read at week four instead of week fourteen.

comment on [Discussion] should this community stop using the word "relapse" for regain at all in c/tapering · 54 points · 3 days ago
can confirm from the inside, "relapse" is the word that made my own posts feel heavier than they needed to, "regain" feels like a fact, "relapse" feels like a verdict

completely fair, and yes there's room, I still have bad days about it, "no shame" was more about not treating it as a moral failure, not a demand that anyone feel fine about it constantly
Ran out, didn't reorder for reasons that don't matter here, and the regain came back faster and harder than I expected. Not looking for fixes, mostly just needed to say…
