So I got lemon bottle about three weeks ago, best decision of my life. The first picture was before; and now that’s me with the finished product. I looked like a chipmunk for about a week, it really is just a process. If you were to do I would recommend doing it when you don’t have any plans because it looks AWFUL, for the first week. I also got the injections in my hips, I haven’t seen much difference yet, but it’s one of those things where you have to do it consistently there because it is more stubborn. My face honestly is just more hollow, I probably won’t do it again in my face because it makes me look malnourished but, I definitely feel a little more confident!

I’ve been talking to a guy for a few months. His grandma was staying at their house and apparently told his older sister that I “get naked every day” because of the way I dress. I honestly just wear normal clothes for girls my age (athletic wear, tank tops, shorts, etc.) What bothered me wasn’t even that she didn’t like how I dress it was that she said it to his older sister instead of keeping it to herself. It eventually got back to me through him.
I told him it upset me because it felt embarrassing and disrespectful. He reassured me and said I don’t have to worry and that his mom likes me.

(The pictures of these outfits r like what I basically wore around her)

Also keep in mind I’m a teenager, and also she’s a BIG BIG BIG trump supporter and I’m like half Ethiopian half white like genuinely we were having good conversations what could genuinely be her issue.

Am I overreacting, or would you also feel disrespected by that comment?

The two pictures were before my Reta journey. I was never super overweight, but I also wasn’t where I wanted to be. I’ve struggled with my body image for a long time. At one point, I worked out every day and barely ate, but once I got into high school, I started drinking more and lost a lot of the healthy habits I had.

In January, I realized I wanted to make a change. After my trip in March, I decided to start Reta.
I started at 0.5 mg for about three weeks and didn’t notice much. Once I increased to 1 mg, everything changed for me. One of the biggest differences wasn’t just my weight it was how my relationship with food and alcohol changed. I lost the desire to drink, my appetite decreased a lot, and it became much easier to stick to healthier habits. I still worked out and golfed, but I finally felt like my choices were supporting my goals instead of working against them.

Over the next five months, I lost a significant amount of weight and gained confidence. I feel comfortable wearing clothes I never would’ve worn before, going out with friends, and just enjoying life more.
Do I think Reta is for everyone? No. Everyone’s body is different, and it’s a decision that should be made with a healthcare professional. But for me, it was the tool that helped me break old habits and build healthier ones. I used to make fun of people for using peptides, and now I realize I was judging something I didn’t understand.

Reta didn’t magically fix my life I still had to exercise, make better choices, and stay consistent. But it made those choices feel possible, and that’s why it had such a positive impact on me. (ps it also helps if you have a moon face, I had a pretty chunky face before and I never realized how much face fat I burned till I saw results)
