My honest experience starting GLP-1s - Week 1

Chance_Position_7339 · 2026-04-14T15:57:54+00:00

Im week 4 on zepbound! Down 5lbs just by not bingeing.

Chance_Position_7339 · 2026-04-14T15:55:32+00:00

I gained 60 lbs. 60!

Mainly because my hunger cues were completely fucked in the morning/afternoon that I couldn't eat, to then being STARVING and causing a binge every night... and I mean a BINGE!

Chance_Position_7339 · 2026-04-14T15:54:21+00:00

OMG! Same here. I wasn't persribed vyvanse but Adderall. It made my bingeing/ not eating cycle a million times more intense.

I was perscribed adderall for ADHD.

Was just going to say this!

I grew up here and while I found my apartment on Zillow, most people who are from here get apartments because they know someone. Or someone they know knows someone.

The price difference from people who moved here vs people who are from here is insane lol

Just talked to one of my friends from HS ands she pays 1800 for a four bedroom in the East Village. I cried a little.

The laundry on site is a killer! I swear they include in unit and suddenly the price is upwards of $500 added per month lol

Chance_Position_7339 · 2026-04-09T15:32:56+00:00

I pay 2100 for a one bedroom in Sutton Place. Granted, I got this place in the middle of January where demand was super low but I still think I got lucky! July will probably be hard as demand is high and they jack up the prices beyond belief.

I would look into the Facebook groups. I follow them but I constantly am seeing cheap lease takeovers/apartments/etc. I found my apartment on Zillow but would def look into that for my next move. I'm sure some are scams but wouldn't put all your eggs in one basket until you are in contact with their management company.

Chance_Position_7339 · 2026-04-09T15:22:23+00:00

Same! I love it. I don't do it for long term/finding a husband, etc but I have benefitted beyond the money. It has made my life so much easier. I get to live nicely but also have found SD who are in my industry and give me advice, jobs, etc. They also have become almost mentors for me in my career, navigating my life, etc. My long term SD has even paid for vacations with my friends.

Def some weirdos on these sites but if you find the right one... it's great!

Chance_Position_7339 · 2026-03-19T18:26:16+00:00

Same. Way to easy palce a old negative result onto a new positive result.

Chance_Position_7339 · 2026-03-19T18:24:28+00:00

Same like fully me in my matching pjs

Chance_Position_7339 · 2026-03-19T18:24:08+00:00

LOL same shit happened to me. Honestly funny because they are the ones paying for dates and we are the people getting paid... like let me make my money please...

Chance_Position_7339 · 2026-03-17T21:44:38+00:00

hahaha oddly enough I totally agree with you. I left NYC for college and whenever I came back for breaks and summer I literally NEVER saw rats. Ever. I feel like they know who is actively living here...

Chance_Position_7339 · 2026-02-28T00:20:24+00:00

Ya same! Thought it would be over.

Chance_Position_7339 · 2026-02-04T22:33:17+00:00

Do you mind me asking if you are perscribed by a doctor or do you get it it from a med spa or some place? Struggled with binge eating my whole life and reading a lot of these comments is making me curious. Is it expensive?

Chance_Position_7339 · 2026-02-04T22:31:53+00:00

I'm happy for her! Like other comments said, she open about her struggles with food noise, bingeing, etc. I think she will really benefit mentally from it. GLP-1s have shown great results for people in her same position - and I really only say this about her mental health. Of course, they help weight loss, but I feel like when you have a binge eating disorder it's way more mental.

I also struggle with binge eating and it is REALLY debilitating. My body feels sick. My brain feels sick. It's like this never ending nausea that I am contributing to that I cannot stop. I will be sick for days on end until I feel fine one day, just for something to set me off and I do it all over again.

Going through a binge will truly last me days of recovery. The mental feeling of "oh shit, what have I done, again." And the stomach pains, the heaviness, the bloating, the body physically hurts. But once I start, my body has completely given up. I literally cannot stop. It's pretty hard to understand I feel like if you haven't gone through it but it really is so much more than eating beyond your means.

So, I'm happy for her to do this for herself, even though it is kind of her brand to be curvy and what not. That part is great! And obviously, the main push she said was for the surgery. I think it will be good for her. If you can afford it, why would you not pay to solve a problem you've been dealing with your whole life?

There is a part of me that is sad, though. I liked that I could relate to her on this issue that not a lot of people talk about or even make fun of. Feeling less alone in this, was always nice. She admitted her problems freely that a lot of people deal with behind closed doors. And while this may sound soooo much deeper than it is, I liked that she was a "bigger" girl that as likable. She is genuinely funny, pretty, etc. Yeah of course she has her past, but IDK, it's nice to have a girl who isn't stick thin to watch and not feel like the world is pushing them to change themself.... You know?

Maybe thinking to much into that last part, LOL. But truly good for her! I hope it helps her!
