It’s been a lifelong issue. My highest weight in the photo was 261 pounds… I’m currently at 183.6.
Starting compounded Tirzepatide was the first time in my life that I experienced no food noise. I never realized just how much I thought about food — and the shame that came with it — until it was quiet.
I’m 55 years old with hypothyroidism, so my weight loss has been slow, but just having the freedom from food controlling my life has been incredibly freeing.
I’m not finished yet, but I feel great and full of confidence. I’ve even recently earned my real estate license, and I’m so excited for what the future holds!
