I had to take a moment this morning while taking my shot.
I went through my usual Wednesday morning ritual of opening my case, and I just had to take a moment and reflect on the weight I have lost.
When I first started taking Tirzepatide, I was a bit ashamed of myself. I had dieted, exercised, tried cleanses, supplement programs, liquid diets. None of it ever worked well enough that I could stick to them. My wife had gone on Wegovy a couple years ago and we have fought with insurance to get it covered for her. They wouldn't even consider it for me though.
At first, I hid my shots from my wife because I didn't want her to think less of me. I didn't realize how supportive she was going to be. Between the two of us, we have lost 80-90 pounds. I'm still overweight, but I haven't been this weight in 18 years!
I just wanted to share this, as it gave me quite the little emotional pick-me-up leading into today.
