So grateful
Weight has been an off and on lifeltime struggle. I grew up as the fat kid. Highest weight was 198 and squeezing into size 16/18. Lowest weight 135 and a size 4/2. In this pic yesterday I am 139. I’m almost 55 and 5’8”.
Life has kicked my butt around and eating became a coping mechanism and I was pretty much in an evening over eating/binging cycle for the last two years… probably longer than that even. Not to mention peri is crazy so I am in the throes of that. My GYN offered tirz and I jumped at the chance to do a microdose. Five weeks and down 18 pounds. I think a lot of it is inflammation but a lot was binge weight that came off quickly once I was able to stop stuffing my face. I have never felt better and for the first time in my life, I look at myself and think my arms are ok enough to wear a dress like this.
I had to share this picture because I really have no support in person. And I’m just keeping his journey quiet.
I don’t have any older pictures at my highest weight because that was before cell phones and it was decades ago. My other “starting pictures“ I originally posted when I began tirz and I got shamed with people commenting that I was not a candidate for this treatment. So I will refrain from posting them for comparison.
All I know is I feel like I’ve been reborn. This is what freedom feels like. I will forever be grateful for the mental peace I have because of tirz. That alone would be enough, the weight loss is just bonus. I’m on 2.5 and plan to stay there as I resolidify a healthy relationship with food, eating, weight, and myself.
