Down a pound. Got of week overall.

I traveled last week, so no gym. This week started a new in-person job AND sick. I am praying I make it to my Friday gym session because I miss the feeling I have when I am done and I did something I didn't think I could do. But I also know I have to heal. Asthma bad so constantly coughing. That's a workout right?

oh man. you have to get yourself healed and feeling good before you get back to the gym, but I totally understand the feeling of missing it. I didn’t make it either and I was so excited to get back in there yesterday! Get better!!

Hi, Nyk! I will tell you that I really do not ever worry about complications. Maybe it is because I am so far in, but I honestly did not *ever* think about the GI problems that can take us off the meds.

And, because I *was* so sick (CKD, diabetes, heart failure, liver disease, etc.) before I started GLP-1s, that is most assuredly, what I fear the most. But that comes hand-in-hand with getting fat again. If I get fat, I get sick, I'm in pain, I'm immobilized, and I die.

Clearly, the risks of complications from being fat and dying are FAR more than any risk the medication can throw at me.

Read into this as you will: I will NEVER be fat again. Never. Never ever. If I have to go off the meds for whatever reason, I will NEVER get fat again.

I always think that there is something wrong with me. Always lol. It’s my anxiety, happened well before I started these meds. The risks are well worth it in my opinion but they do sit with me too.
