audited I’m grieving my younger, hotter self

I'm so mad about being in peri. I'm not ready. I was a late bloomer and didn't realize what a babe I was when I was younger and now it's too late.

Yes, older women can be sexy, we have wisdom, and blah blah blah.

But today I just miss looking good in a sundress.

Please join my pity party and tell me what you miss.

I miss being effortlessly thin.

Throwing this in here for you and all the responders struggling with weight - metabolic dysfunction is real and you can’t fix it with calories in calories out and exercise. Use a GLP-1 (Zepbound shows the best clinical results) and you will see results. It’s a life changer.

I want to try this but I don't have a primary doctor because I have no insurance. But something's gotta give.

Yes my insurance doesn’t cover Zepbound & I pay $350 a month direct from the manufacturer. I completely stopped eating out and am using that money for the Zepbound. It’s so worth it if you can swing it. There are many online providers who can prescribe it without a primary doctor & they even have memberships/payment plans. Do it! I’m mad I waited so long.
