GLP-1s and body image — complicated feelings

I've lost 18 lbs and look better than I have in years. But I feel weird about it. Like I cheated? I know I didn't, the drug is a tool. But seeing people who've struggled for years without meds and then seeing me drop weight fast... I feel guilty sometimes. Anyone else deal with this?

I got my COA from the vendor but also sent a sample to an independent lab for verification. Both matched — 97.5% purity. If you're spending that much, the extra $50 for testing is worth it.

I swtiched from sema to tirz about 3 months ago. Big improvement in appetite suppression and fewer side effects. Down 47 lbs since switching. Everyone's different but for me it was the right call.

I use 29g needles. The thinner the better for subq. Barely feel it. Brand-wise I like BD Ultra-Fine. They're a bit more expensive but worth it.

Same! Week 27 and feeling the same.
