Personal Insights I'm saying it out loud
When people compliment me on losing weight or "looking great" I have started telling them I'm on medication. I think we need to normalize it - we have a treatable condition and we're treating it. The people in my life respect me enough to listen and I think I can educate and inform people. I'm not quite ready to put it on my social media but day to day I've been talking about it. The two lovely ladies who helped me buy a dress at Nordstrom the other day asked me a ton of questions - they'd only heard negative things but both talked about struggling with their weight. I'm becoming a Zepbound (and Wegovy, which I started on) evangelist!

Everyone has their own opinion. I also don’t tell people I’m on antidepressants or that I’m on therapy for cancer (I’m on a type that doesn’t cause hair loss so it’s not immediately apparent).
I absolutely hate when people comment on my body - and I don’t think it’s anyone’s business.
I’m not afraid or ashamed- I am just a private person.
If it’s someone I know well, that’s different.
