84 pounds down!

I started Zepbound at 263lbs, (5’6, 25 yo F) and my goal was 180, just being optimistic. I’ve weighed in at 179 for the last few days.

For the first time in my adult life I’m okay with how I look. I’m about to celebrate my 26th birthday. You can see a visible difference in just my face alone, not just shape or size - I feel like I have a genuine smile. Body dysmorphia is one heck of a thing. Today I put on a regular size L shirt and just felt like a different person when I turned to the side. I didn’t feel like I needed to adjust, didn’t try 20 different angles to feel like I looked better. I didn’t feel like I had to hide.

I’ve been thrifting new clothes and it’s the most awesome surprise to be able to fit into pants 4 sizes smaller. I went from 22/24 to now size 14 in most brands. My whole body feels so much better. I can walk in to a store and find things my size without feeling like I need to cry.

If you’re just starting out, I promise it’ll be worth it, and doing your best matters. Every day your best will look different and that’s okay. If I can do it, so can you! This drug has been an amazing help and I’m so thankful for it, genuinely one of the most powerful tools that I’ve ever seen.
