after living decades of my life as an overweight person, i eventually accepted my future as morbidly obese and filled with crippling insecurities. i tried to control my eating, my behavioral habits, to exercise at all, to speak to a therapist… i did a lot. it wasn’t until the public release of glp-1 medications that something began to genuinely work. i have been on Zepbound since November of 2024 and i reached 100lbs lost at the end of June. i feel incredible. i am not where i want to be physically (still have my insecurities) but my body absolutely knows the difference. everything is easier to do and my blood pressure is finally normal.
i am looking forward to more loss and eventually feeling more comfortable in my existence. i know this won’t cure me of my psychological issues but this will absolutely make it easier to manage. i can’t believe i’m here! 100 lbs is a truly unbelievable amount of weight for me to have lost. i mean it quite literally, i cannot believe this is real. i am thrilled. :D
Let’s fucking go! This is an incredible accomplishment.
thank you so much! it is. it doesn’t feel like one because i am merely allowing the medication to work. i am in awe how effective my medication is.
I’m really hoping to get set up with a primary care doctor when open enrollment happens at my company so I can start the process of seeking medication myself, seeing if I’m a good fit and all that. Stories like yours are inspiring to say the least.
gotcha. happy to be a source of encouragement. i am a rather skeptical person and only started myself because of a trusted friend’s journey. i cannot speak more highly of the experience so far. keep your head up and advocate for yourself. metabolic disorders are real, they are genuine, and you deserve treatment to have a functioning body.
