[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crikey OP - just get some zepbound which has little to no side effect and is very effective and take it for awhile to get where you want to be while also eating healthy and exercising and get on with your life. It is not that big of a deal. I have been on the lowest dose for 5 months and I look and feel great and all with my doctor’s blessing. It also reduces inflammation and possible helps with autoimmune diseases. My doc says it will eventually get approval for off label uses. [/quote]

Op here, i hear you and i am sure it has worked great for you. I am happy you got the results you wanted! I am not convinced yet this is the right way for me even though I am tempted by all the success stories, including yours.

What is the most tempting to me about GLP1 right now is of course like everyone the idea that if only i could get to my goal weight, i would be fine as i would know how to maintain it or be motivated enough to maintain it. But above that, the real draw is that GLP1 brings something extra compared to just curbing appetite, an anti-inflammatory effect or a regulation of insulin that would really make a difference for my stubborn belly fat.

But as I wouldn't be interested in being on a medication for life and I don't have particular food noise issue (and i am obviously not overweight or have any medical need for it), I feel the need to challenge myself and make sure i really test the assumption that "i cannot lose those last few pounds/belly fat rolls without it".

Again, as this forum is very antagonistic, I want to say that 
1/ I have absolutely zero judgment on anyone taking the drug for small weight loss. This is not a "I am holier than though" experiment or an attempt at gatekeeping thinness to the naturally thin as i have read in another thread. Everyone makes their choice based on their body, their needs, their life experience and the knowledge they manage to access. 2/ I posted here for 2 reasons, for accountability but also because i know I am looking for other people running the same experiment and I would want to know their conclusion.
