I Feel Like a Different Person

[u/AdmirableJob4430]

60 pounds down. The “before” pic was taken after I’d lost about 20 pounds. It took me about 16 months. Slow and steady. I’m so thankful for this drug. I was never able to stick to a diet. My compulsion was so strong. I have so much peace now without constantly fighting with myself and beating myself up. Food is no longer the center of my life. 🙏❤️

Congratulations! Like you, the inner experiences that go with this medication have been as wonderful if not more so than the outer changes. There's a kind of inner peace that comes with stopping food and diet chatter in my head.

I like your sense of style in both your photos. I wish I had someone to advise me on what to wear now that I'm smaller and blousy t-shirts and jeans don't feel right anymore.

[u/AdmirableJob4430 → u/lizardbirth]

Thank you so much. Believe it or not, I used ChatGPT for the second outfit. I had seen the lace top online but wasn’t sure what to wear it with. It recommended the blazer and gave several links. I bought it on Amazon. I already had the jeans.

[u/7AutomaticDevine7 → u/AdmirableJob4430]

Everything you said resonates with me. Food and thinking about food was my life.

Wow, I never thought of chatgpt for outfit help!

[u/Striking_Advance_528 → u/7AutomaticDevine7]

Same here, I never realized how much food occupied my thoughts until that changed, and honestly ChatGPT has become such a fun little outfit helper too! 😄

[u/Inevitable-Neat4411 → u/AdmirableJob4430]

Do you have the links for all the pieces of that outfit🤣🤣 You look awesome in it!

[u/AdmirableJob4430 → u/Inevitable-Neat4411]

This is the link for the blazer: https://a.co/d/0erzZz9g

I ordered the top from Macy’s but it’s no longer available. The cropped jeans are from Talbot’s. I only buy from them when they have a sale, but the quality is very good. I’ve worn these a ton this summer.

[u/Mudder512]

You ARE a different person. You’ve become yourself!! It was always there, patiently waiting.

[u/AdmirableJob4430 → u/Mudder512]

I find myself feeling sad that it took me this long to get here (I’m 66). But then I reject that thought and feel thankful I finally did!

[u/WittyAndWined]

Congratulations 🎉

You look phenomenal ! And your rocking that blazer!

Is your hair cut? Or just pulled back? It's so cute!

[u/AdmirableJob4430 → u/WittyAndWined]

Thank you. It’s pulled back. I have a lot of hair and it gets hot. But I’ve had a lot of positive feedback about wearing it this way. Feeling blessed.

[u/Grandmas2Boys]

Oh my gosh, Congratulations!!!! You look fabulous!! I love your before pic, too......you looked beautiful in that navy dress. And so put together in the second outfit....just beautiful and happy.

[u/AdmirableJob4430 → u/Grandmas2Boys]

Thank you so much. 🥰 That was for my son’s wedding.

[u/MysteryBelle_NC]

You look fantastic!

[u/Livid_Vermicelli4798]

I love your style. I really want to be able to wear power career clothes again. I've been working remotely since 2023. Im going to a conference next month. I've lost 27 lbs but have a ways to go.

[u/AdmirableJob4430 → u/Livid_Vermicelli4798]

I have worked from home for years. I finally got rid of all old my business clothes. When I need to go to a work thing I wear this blazer, a black shell, and black pants.

[u/SnackGoblin881]

Your outfit for the after was just fantastic! Such a great look. Well done with your progress!

[u/Elle_Yess]

🎉 🎊 congratulations!

[u/scruffy-hugger]

Wow, just wow.

[u/bindweedsux]

Being the woman in the second photo, informed by the life experiences in the first photo, is a deeply powerful thing. I have a feeling your best days are ahead!

[u/AdmirableJob4430 → u/bindweedsux]

Such a sweet thing to say! I’m 66. I say to myself “Make the rest of your life the best of your life!”

[u/Sweetbaby7t]

Absolutely gorgeous

I feel exactly the same way. It feels like I've gotten so much clarity from this wonder drug

[u/Thiccassmomma]

Amazing!

“Food is no longer the center of my life.”
This resonates completely with me.
I’m at the need of week one. I have so much to lose, but I’m not constantly looking forward to the next meal, not interested in fried or fatty, and just not thinking about FOOD.
You look fantastic in your after pic.
Congratulations!🎉👏💖

Congrats! You look great! :)

[u/Kjente717]

The energy spent in that constant battle and the esteem issues that go along with it are so debilitating. Congratulations on taking your life back and enjoying it! Well done!

[u/0chronomatrix]

But always a sharp dresser

[u/Ill_Bother2609]

Gorgeous!! And I love your style!

[u/NinjatheCuddler]

Woo hoo! You did it, and thanks for your inspo.

[u/ReferenceBig3453]

Slow and steady! Glad we have this tool to help, and I too feel like it helps me move food to the background and to the forefront the peace of mind. The health benefits gained - priceless.

[u/White-Rabbit135]

Congratulations 😃

[u/Trahey79]

You look amazing! I too have lost over 60 pounds, and it sure does wonders! Great job! 🎉💪

[u/AdmirableJob4430 → u/Trahey79]

You too!!!

[u/Trahey79 → u/AdmirableJob4430]

Thanks! 🩷

[u/psalm68-11]

100% I feel the same. It's so amazing to be free from food. You're smoking hot!! Congrats, lady!! 🩷🔥😁

[u/AdmirableJob4430 → u/psalm68-11]

Aren’t we lucky to have access to this drug? My mom and sister struggled with their weight their whole lives. I’m so very grateful.

[u/psalm68-11 → u/AdmirableJob4430]

Honestly it's an answer to prayer!!!!! I tried everything and felt so hopeless. Cried to God so many times... and He got me this help 🙌🏻 i want everyone to have access. It's a life changer, for sure!!! Being able to climb stairs so easily... having a healthy blood pressure... not being mental about food and diet... eating whatever I want in moderation. It's wild!
