Hi everyone, this journey is new to me. A 53 year old female who feels out of control with eating. 60 lbs came off with diet and exercise in 2016, but it all crept back on and then some. Eating happens when stressed and to feel better. My left knee has issues from an injury, and as the weight packs on the knees get worse to the point where life feels like something I'm missing out on. Walking as much as before isn't possible without pain. Getting on the scale yesterday nearly killed me when the number appeared. 5 ft 4in. and 266lbs!!!! GLP 1 shots have been looked into a little over the last couple of years, but not being covered by my insurance meant paying out of pocket wasn't affordable. Seeing them start to become a little more affordable makes me happy and learning more about them can't come soon enough. Finding a place where people are willing to support and help you achieve your goals is so nice.
