What does it take to justify a GLP-1 prescription? Can you say you want to drop 10 pounds?

Just do an online teledoc and lie about your weight (so you are “overweight”). That is what I did to get a prescription for Zepbound to lose 10lbs. Lilly direct sells for $350/lowest dose/one month supply. I enjoy beer and wine a little too much. Added problem that I eat way too much after a couple of drinks. On Zepbound I very quickly/easily lost the ten pounds and also was able to easily stop after a beer or two/glass or two of wine (2-3 nights a week). Also no longer overeat in combo with alcohol. Now microdosing (I stretch the 350 prescription to last for four months (one vial/month). Have maintained weight for several months this way and also kept alcohol consumption reasonable (less than pre-Zepbound although a little more than when on full zep dose).
