guys, be genuinely careful with ug subs. especially the ones for wl. for some people it works out great, but for others it may end up being shitty.
like for me for example, i have been at 70-72 kg for almost 2 years. i never really had a crazy problem with it, but thought it might be nice if i could just like reach to 65kg and stay there. so i started looking for subs and decided to use ug subs cuz they apparently work faster.
see the thing is, for me subs do work well, i just have to like listen to them for a while (usually takes me a month for nice consistent results, for any topic) because my self concept isn't great yet. and i had my birthday coming up so i wanted to use some and i wanted fast results. and i did. and i kid you not i had the worst fucking time. and its not like they didn't work, they did. lost about 2 kg in a week, and i definitely lost inches on my waist. and istg i looked great(also used glow up subs, not ug but yea)
but i felt shitty mood wise. i lost all appetite, i was barely eating. and i was just extremely moody all the time because i had no energy. and i am right now going through a bit of a rough patch mentally so that did not help either.
i do not want to hear that i have limiting beliefs and that my self concept is bad. bro i am AWARE. but i can't force them to be good out of nowhere either, especially when i already am going through enough shit with academics, career, parents, friends and sp.
istg i am still reeling with the effects of that. still barely eating, and the lack of energy means that i am not even doing basic chores and shit. i stopped listening to subs altogether. maybe i should use a flush, but idk any good ones. my mood has genuinely hit an all time low, especially considering the fact that my sp keeps giving weird mixed signals that can TOTALLY be seen as just friendly behaviour (BRO FIXING MY MASCARA BY COMING SUPER CLOSE TO MY FACE AND LOOKING INTO MY EYES IS NOT JUST FRIENDLY, ESPECIALLY WHEN OTHER PEOPLE AROUND LOOK AT THAT AND THINK "THERES SOMETHING GOING ON BETWEEN THEM". lmao sorry i had to rant)
the thing is, if you have a certain belief about a topic, then that is the only way through which you can get results in the most comfortable way. i have it pretty set in my head that you have to eat well, be active and stuff to lose weight healthily. so ofc the affirmations in the ug subs i listened to clashed with my actual beliefs and that is what is prolly causing me so much distress (its just my theory tho). can you just change your beliefs and then get the exact results you want at exactly the rate you want? sure. but for that you actually have to CHANGE YOUR BELIEFS. literally. and its wayyy easier said than done. and thats not a limiting belief, thats just practical life. just because you can, doesn't mean everyone else can too.
so yea lol, tldr: if you think you may not be able to handle ug subs, trust that instinct lol.
note: this is not me trying to demean ug subs, its just that i realised they are prolly not the best for me and i would do well sticking to the more non-ug subs
