Hey everyone! Finding this community has been such a blessing, and I can't wait to hopefully begin my GLP journey once more! My endocrinologist put me on Zepbound, and across more than 2 years I dropped 101lbs, then held steady at that weight for 6 months — right up until my insurance company changed its mind about covering weight loss medications. It's now been 7 months since I stopped Zepbound, and things have been really hard. I've kept up a calorie deficit and gotten to the gym here and there whenever I can fit it in, but I've still put 40lbs back on. I'm frustrated and anxious, and on top of that I'm entering perimenopause, so there's this constant low-level worry sitting in the back of my head too! For me, Zepbound was nothing short of a miracle! I spent most of my adult life trying to lose weight, and the biggest loss I ever managed was 17 pounds — which I then regained along with extra. According to my endocrinologist, I was the most successful patient on Zepbound in her whole office, and she was deeply let down when insurance stopped covering it. With these 40 lbs back, I feel self-conscious and uneasy all over again, and all I want is to feel like myself once more (at ease, not ashamed, and looking forward to life). My husband is unbelievably supportive and loves me no matter what size I am (I wish I could view myself the way he does), but I just want to be comfortable in my own skin!! Thanks for letting me get this off my chest — I hope it came out clearly!
