I'm a menopausal woman in my 4th week on a GLP-1 and what's more shocking than how quickly it's working is how many other women have told me they're on it since I posted on Facebook that I was taking the jab.

It bummed me out that there's so much shame in everything associated with bodies and weight that they kept taking MEDICINE FOR THEIR HEALTH a secret.

Some douche on my doctor's post about her Women's Wellness program that includes GLP-1s said that they are a "terrible way to lose weight" and that I needed to "choose my hard."

I replied, "Why does weight loss have to be hard?"

That's revolutionary, no? Our culture doesn't really want us to lose weight. They want us to atone for the sin of being fat with pain and suffering. The idea that it can be made easier is insufferable.

Thank you for talking about your experience. I'm talking about mine LOUDLY.
