Part of my reason for going on GLP1 is a lack of time and energy to dedicate to working out. My job is terribly stressful, long hours, and being impacted by AI potentially so it feels like fighting to keep my job. I have a son who is special needs, has many therapies
And specialized services we bring him to 6 days a week. Upcoming with work is also now full 5 days in the office every week, so my time will now be spent commuting at least 2 hours a day.
I say all of this feeling guilty because it feels like I’m making excuses for myself, but I really am burnt out and just cannot find the energy or will to exercise.
I was originally apprehensive about GLP1 for hair loss, muscle loss, or impacts with my bone density. So far I’m nearing the lightest weight I have been in maybe 6 years and I am happy for that, but want to see what other people have experienced for side effects because of not exercising or things you did to help with lessening side effects if you cannot maintain exercise long term.
