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

    You have lost:

    • Two giant bags of my dogs food
    • the combined weight of my 6yr old, 3 yr old, as well as my corgi
    • within sight of my entire wife
    • a few bales of hay
    • The combined weight of all the meat in my freezer (roughly)
    • Two bags of potatos from the local farmers market
    • TEN BAGS OF POTATO FROM THE STORE!

    And approximately 1/4 the weight of my wife’s suitcase for any given trip.

    Anyway thats the nonsense that came to mind. Congrats again!
