The Weirdest Part of Losing 60 Lbs (It's Not the Weight)

I lost 60 lbs using Zepbound (a GLP-1), but the physical transformation was only half the story. In this video, I’m sharing the surprising mental and social side effects I wasn’t prepared for. I''ll talk about reactions from others (judgment, “cheating”, people literally not recognizing me) and the strange, internal recalibration of living in a new body—from the "Ozempic butt" to the mental whiplash of no longer recognizing myself. This is the part of the weight loss medication journey no one talks about - the social and mental aspects. Disclaimer: I am not a doctor. This is my personal experience, not medical advice. Please consult a healthcare professional.
