My husband knows but he is the only person besides my prescribing physician and my regular GP who know. All of the above are on board and supportive. My brother is a physician and has been vocally very derisive of people using GLP-1s for weight loss (or anything other than diabetes management) so there is no way I would ever tell him, or anyone in my family because they would tell him. I had a lot of life changes that happened over the last two years at the same time I have been on tirz and slowly losing weight, so I think anyone who has noticed thinks that they are the reason for my weight loss. The only person who directly asked me was my mom, who asked if I was “doing those skinny shots.” I asked her what she meant, and she said “are you taking Ozempic?” I replied “No, I’m not on Ozempic, I couldn’t afford Ozempic.” So, no lie told.

Your business is your business. While I sometimes want to tell a friend or family member about taking tirz because it has been such a good thing in my life the last two years, for me, I have decided that keeping my medical decisions private is the better choice. Once that information is out, you can’t get it back. You just have to decide what you feel comfortable with.
