Brain tricking itself

So my journey has been ok, first weeks a bunch of weight now a more steady pace and sometimes it crosses my mind "I could do this without medication" but then, a day or two before I have to take my dose I feel that again, that ridiculous need of having something when I already ate enough and it hits me, I've tried without medication before 😅 many years, many attempts and this is the only thing that seems to work.

It's quite early still but sometimes I think my brain forgets that this control is not coming from it, its coming from the medication haha

I've been using The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion on my face and neck and I absolutely love the improvement and how soft my skin has become, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any body retinoids that are as good for body. I already moisturise daily and my skin is not dry but I hope the retinoids could help some areas where my skin is not looking as great.

I'm aware technically I could use the same on the body but I guess there might be better size products. I've also seen some rollers but I would like to know if people has good reviews on them.

Thanks in advance ☺️

I've seen lately a lot of news and media coverage on how MJ and all GLP drugs are a big no no with some saying is not a fix and others saying it's the lazy way out. It has become a witch hunt if someone says they took it and I feel like if I admit about taking it the sea of criticism and "worrying" would just be too much.

I see the constant "but you lose all your muscle and bones" but I have my data to back me up:

-First image is me trying to get my weight in control just with diet and exercise, me already working out 6-7 times a week, weights and cardio in it. Eating around 1500 calories a day.

-Second image is me on mounjaro, look at that muscle gain, training has been the same, type of food the same just less cravings and not actually feeling like I need something sweet. Also I would like to add I don't feel like shit for eating less and have portion control, before I would feel like shit after two or three weeks of big cut on calories.

When is this witch hunt gonna end? The media keeps saying that mj is the thing that kills your health but any extreme weight loss would do that for you, I've seen someone go to just bones following a doctor's diet and being so weak to even walk.

If any of you have been told "oh you should just move more" I am living proof that doesn't work for everyone.

Ok done haha that's my rant for this week 🤣
