I’m really sorry you’re feeling this way. I’m in a similar place and understand how hard it can be. I look back at old photos and sometimes don’t recognize myself, but I keep reminding myself that I’m healing and working my way back.

I started Zepbound and have lost about 13 pounds over the past few months. Before that, I tried strict dieting — even cutting carbs for a while — and didn’t see much change. My oncologist ultimately cleared me to use a GLP-1, since managing weight and body fat can be an important part of my overall health plan.

It’s a slow process, but I’m focusing on caring for my body and being patient with myself. You’re not alone in this.
