re: My Monjauro/Zepbound journey

---

I was 250 lbs in November 2023. I’m only 5’6”. I had Non-Alcholic Fatty Liver, pre-Diabetic, high cholesterol, low-testosterone. I was a sugar-addict, it’s how I dealt with my stress. I own my own business and have 30 employees and it’s great but since Covid it’s been so stressful. I was already heavy (215) from being a desk jockey. Spend my days looking at spread sheets and emails!

I did a 2-week sugar detox to start Dec 2023. This was the hardest thing I’d ever done. I was like a crack addict in a rehab! doc put me on Mounjaro (5mg) in mid-December. I’m still on 5mg today and I’m down to 185. All my numbers are now in check. I actually take the shot every 10days now instead of weekly. I do resistance and weight work at home in the mornings to keep my strength up. It’s crazy how my taste buds are totally different now. Eat foods I never liked. Drink unsweet tea w/ no sweeteners, when I do eat a dessert it can’t be very sweet or rich.

I’m not sure how this journey ends buts so far it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
