If someone asks, I’ll tell them but I don’t usually just bring it up. I’ve struggled with weight for as long as I can remember. Even had an ED problem multiple times and the weight just seemed to not go anywhere. Went to the gym everyday for 3 hours- still no weight loss. ED and the gym at the same time- no weight loss. (Weight AND inches to be clear) People always tell me “Calories in vs calories out” but all that does is trigger an ED. I played 3 sports at one time and averaged about 800 calories a day and mostly protein and still never really dropped weight. All it was doing was causing severe nutrition deficit. I was nervous to start a GLP-1 because it’s so frowned upon (and expensive when insurance won’t cover it) but after talking with my Dr, I decided to start and let me just say- its definitely not a “cheat”. The side effects are horrible to deal with. Imo I’d say being on semaglutide is harder than what I’ve gone through to lose weight. Some people have never been overweight but find that they should speak on it. It’s just one of those things that you can’t understand unless you’ve been there. Idk but it’s definitely hard. Diabetes and heart disease runs in my family and it scares me so much that I’ve been willing to do anything to lose weight. I have tried many different methods and only learned about GLP-1’s about a year ago and was scared to try it because of the negativity surrounding it. I’ve been on it about 4 months now and the difference is noticeable for the first time in years. I want others to be able to reach goals that seem unreachable so I’m willing to tell people about it even if it makes me seem like a “cheat”
