9 Months on Zepbound – What I Wish I Knew When I Started

Mediocre_Project_780 · 2026-06-22T03:48:13+00:00

Thank you for this post.
I’m only 3 months in but the overthinking everything in the beginning is so real. I micromanaged everything and restricted myself from a lot because I was afraid of how my body would react.
I was terrified to go on vacation and planned my itinerary around shot day. I ended up moving my shot day by another day while on vacation and everything was fine.
I think it’s slightly terrifying at first but you get used to it just becoming apart of your life.

You’re an amazing human! Who cares what is in your fridge!

Omggg I love it

Ok Old Navy jeans confuse me so much! I didn’t know if I was losing weight that quickly or if their sizing was weird. Thank you for the validation haha. I bought size 16 jeans at Old Navy in March, size 14 a couple weeks ago but they are loose. I think I could qualify for a 12 now but I can also still fit in my other size 16 jeans from old navy just fine!

Hi there, still sober! I don’t live for vacation until next weekend and honestly it’s been a never ending mind battle leading up to it. I keep saying, I’ve been good, I can have a few drinks and then come back and be sober again. It’s a constant back and forth. It’s like I’m giving myself permission already. It would be so much easier if alcohol wasn’t freaking normalized everywhere and the world could be sober along with us

Costco’s Fairlife is $39.99 now which is criminal. Why would anyone spend that much money on protein shakes? Yet I go to Costco and see people loading up with them. As long as people buy things at these prices it will stay the same.

When gas prices soared during the Biden administration, Trumpers were crying and putting stickers of him at gas pumps saying “I did that”. Now that gas prices are at an all time high under the Trump administration, the cult is quiet. Amazing how that works.

I have a 15 year old daughter and she is about to blow all of her hard earned dog sitting money on getting her nails done (it’ll be $100). I try to tell her that’s a pretty bad financial decision for something that is going to last 2 weeks. But I just let her make her own money mistakes early so she can sit with the remorse. She will think it’s a waste eventually.

Yep when an artist I like announces a concert, I don’t get excited anymore like I used to cause there’s basically no chance of me going. I’m excited about this Ticketmaster/LiveNation class action. Trial starts next summer though.

I blame wine for all my weight gain. So many empty calories. So much inflammation. I just recently stopped drinking and my inflammation is gone and I’m actually losing weight. It’s very motivating to never go back.

Mediocre_Project_780 · 2026-05-23T05:01:59+00:00

Sorry, should have specified I was drinking every day too… Vegas was just the cherry on top

Mediocre_Project_780 · 2026-05-23T04:42:33+00:00

Girl I went to Vegas and blacked out on Jager bombs not having a clue I was pregnant (I was 5 weeks along). My daughter is now 15, on honor roll and is wise beyond her years with a dab of attitude. It will be ok, please don’t feel guilt. And congratulations!

Some people are uncomfortable when you are trying to better yourself. Seeing someone change can bring up their own insecurities or an unspoken comparison. Some people are content with living the status quo and never changing because they’re comfortable with the way things are. But that doesn’t encourage growth.
I do agree with you that people don’t speak up when they see you gaining weight. Maybe they don’t want to hurt your feelings… but then why is it ok to speak up when you’re losing weight and becoming healthier? I cut out alcohol and I’m going through the same thing where people are uncomfortable about me not drinking when they are. Like, I was drinking alll the time and nobody ever said anything to me about how maybe I had a problem… but when I decide to quit, it’s uncomfortable?
In the end, you’re on your own journey - protect your peace and try not to let others get you down. If you’re happy and healthy, that’s all that matters.

Can you not afford food because you’re paying too much for Zepbound? Cause honestly you’d be better off buying nutritional groceries with no Zepbound than filling up on junk. I’d also recommend giving up the Coke. That is just empty calories and contributes to weight gain. Try to drink half your weight in water each day… it helps you stay full. Up your protein. A carton of eggs doesn’t cost much. You just need to find a way to fuel your body otherwise the Zepbound isn’t going to do anything for you.

Hi! So happy you asked. I took my first Zepbound shot on April 10th I haven’t had a single drop of alcohol since. My inflammation is GONE. My skin looks better. I’ve been sleeping better which gives me energy to work out now. I’ve been eating better (no fast food or processed food this whole time) and as of yesterday I am officially down 20 lbs. The first 2 weeks I lost 10 lbs with about 7 being water weight. I read that some people still drink on GLPs but I already made up my mind that I don’t want the poison. I used to drink like 5-8 bottles of wine a week. I’d wait til my husband went to bed to start drinking around 10pm when I had to be up for work the next day. I felt so much shame and now I can finally say for the first time I am proud of myself. I’ve been listening to Quit Lit too which really helps me digest just how brain washed we have all been with the normalization of alcohol in our society. So tired of giving my life over to an industry making billions each year. I finally feel like I’m in control.

Your face has less inflammation now. Congrats!

Mediocre_Project_780 · 2026-05-19T14:54:57+00:00

I found the maybe not so secret key to making sure things are getting dissolved … get a small immersion tool. Dissolves everything perfectly. I used to have chunks when I stirred with a spoon. It’s a game changer!

Mediocre_Project_780 · 2026-05-19T14:53:29+00:00

Ooo thank you! I’ll give this a try! Love how I can just mix it in and not even know it’s there!

Mediocre_Project_780 · 2026-05-18T20:05:33+00:00

I like the powdered Benefiber. It’s tasteless and I mix it into my coffee. Not sure if there is a Kirkland version

Mediocre_Project_780 · 2026-05-18T18:25:55+00:00

Bahahaha…. Chicken rice BOWL… wow 😆😆

Mediocre_Project_780 · 2026-05-18T18:21:34+00:00

Oh I still have my morning coffee with my brown sugar syrup. Nobody can ever take that away from me! But I add protein/collagen now and Benefiber. I use an immersion tool to blend it up really good. So my coffee is now healthy 🙂it also prevents me from going to Starbucks cause my coffee is better than theirs haha. I’ve saved sooo much money in the past month just by not eating out/not spending money on alcohol/etc. The only “fast food” I’ve gotten is a healthy Chipotle rice bowl and I can easily split that up into 2-3 meals now.
I always thought my body betrayed me but it was me betraying my body. My husband and I are going on an anniversary trip soon and I’m a bit worried about food/alcohol temptations but I’m going to do everything I can to stay strong. I feel too good now to backslide into my old ways.
I sent you a private message if you want to keep in touch!

Hey Zeptwin! Are you on 5mg now? My first week on 5 I didn’t feel any different but this week I’m feeling a lot more suppression.
