[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone. I found a great weight loss clinic. It is $150 cash pay appointment and $300 for a 4 month supply of compound. $450 is a small price to pay to not obsess about my weight through the holiday season.[/quote]

Your comments in your original post (first time in life haven't obsessed about weight) and this one (price to pay to not obsess about my weight) indicates a bigger medical issue that you should address. You are not fat and apparently not unhealthy. Your obsession with your weight is a psychological problem. You should try a psychologist. Of course, that's more expensive and harder work.[/quote]

You should see a psychologist.  Semagultide is a GLP-1 agonist (GLP-1 is natural hormone in your body), not some scary controlled substance with frightening side effects.  A minority of people feel nauseous at high doses, but OP specifically said she prefers a low dose. People who don't eat enough protein or lift weights might have more muscle loss than they'd like and, thus, a lower BMR after they go off the medication, but that's on them for failing to eat enough protein or lift weights.  Taking a low dose to stay at 124 lbs if you're ~ 5'6 is exactly within the range of a healthy BMI and a healthy amount of body fat for a 40-year-old woman.  American women have normalized too much body fat.  124 lbs is a healthy, fit adult weight for most women.  I think it's a little weird that OP is getting semaglutide through her aesthetician, but as long as the compound pharmacy is legit, it's probably okay.  [/quote]

Monkeying with your body’s biochemistry in this way to accomplish something that can be handled with some self discipline is dumb and shortsighted. Shortcuts have consequences, that’s just the reality. [/quote]

I am disciplined in my diet, 1400-1600 calories from wholesome food. While I don’t gain weight, my schedule doesn’t allow me to exercise 4/5 times per week for fat loss either. With the only 1-2 hours of self time, I would need to dedicate to weigh training for health joints instead of cardio.

For the last 6 years I have been working extremely long hours with long commute plus a ton of responsibility at home. And only so I visit a forum I learn that I am not disciplined or have mental health issues hah.[/quote]
