Sup everyone, I'm Sincere and an introduction seems due. Daunting at first is how the whole process looked, but an outlet for my health journey has been what I'm after, and in IRL the options are thin, I mean what, am I supposed to go outside and make friends?
Anyways, 42 years old, Black, married, and a father to a 2 year old. A lifter and athlete since high school, though several injuries kinda sidelined me. My mid 20s through the 30s went by in a slump, depression, anxiety and just general lack of motivation to live life. From 26 to 37 fast forwarding to now, better is the direction, going from 400+ down to 248 across a year and a half, raw with no peptides or supplements of any kind. Rough is an understatement. Did not enjoy smh, and just remembering the difference in my mental outlook between then and now is insane. Meeting my wife completed my motivation to want a full life, and then my son was born. A year and a half of working crazy hours and not even being home just to afford everything had me ballooned back up to 350. Yay. Every poor habit returned with a vengeance along with what I know now to be low T symptoms. Testing put me in the mid 200s and low high 100s across two back to back tests. A gamble on test got taken. A month of reading later brought GLPs and Reta in particular. 7 months in now and down from 340 to 260.
Necessity is why I believe in peptides — affording proper healthcare for myself isn't possible, which forced my own hands, and finding a couple of communities to learn and grow in and just be a healthier human being has been great. Letting my ideas be judged by those with more experience who are actively working towards their goals is all I'm after. Sharing the new perspective this journey gave me has been challenging to say the least, it's like people (my family ugh) don't want to see you be and do better. Doing this alone isn't something I want, and besides my wife and my son who can't talk yet, there's not much positive conversation going on in my life rn. So here I am, ready to get involved with y'all and maybe even help someone else out while I'm here. Help and be helped, that's my goal.
Thanks for making it through the long read, and just know at least 5 pages got typed and deleted because writing about my thoughts is something I hate lol.
