Three months in on tirz — sharing because the early phase was hard

Posting at three months because every story I read before starting was either week-one-honeymoon or year-two-victory-lap. The middle is real and I want it documented. Weeks 4–8 were rough. Sulfur burps every morning. Constipation that nothing seemed to fix until I forced 100g protein and 30g fiber daily. Some emotional flatness — not depression, more like my hunger AND my joy got turned down a notch. That recovered around week 9 once my body adjusted. Down 17 lbs. Clothes fit different. I am still working out but lifting less weight; need to keep an eye on that.
