What's your take on Putin?I don't get it, what does that mean? How am I an asshat?
They're saying you're a new user and there's another user who is an Asshat thats from Chicago. They're just being silly since your name is provocative.I don't get it, what does that mean? How am I an asshat?

Upped my ozempic from 0.25 to 0.50mg and it hit me so hard. I haven't eaten in days. I've forced myself to eat something today and I feel like I ate a fuckin horse.
I know it'll chill up but this ramp up is rough.
Also has my second of third laser eye treatments today. I will be glad when this shit is done because it's miserable.
I felt this way for quite a while, now I am embracing better living through pharmaceutical sciences. I'm still not taking a GLP because I don't have that much weight, and I know the stuff I'm about to get back on (Testosterone supplementation, creatine, and possible a couple other bits once I consult with my Dr) will handle the remaining 20-30 pounds I could use to drop.I really wish I didn't have a conscience because Ozempic would be such a lifesaver for me. I have an emotional dependence on food that's been there for most of my adult life and being lean has always been difficult because of it. Thing is I look at ozempic as cheating and can never take it for that reason. I struggle with diet but rather do it that way because if I ever come off Ozempic, I likely put the weight back on.

But as much as it seems like a "cheaters" way out, it's a tool like anything else. And if you think it's crazy, just wait until the next generation of peptides start hitting and you can take a pill once a day to make your body do all the metabolistic things it normally does when you work out regularly... (Called exercise memetics)
Just focus on eating some lean proteins and vegges. Get into the habit of stretching as often as possible for 15 min or so. Get on a tread mill 1-3 times a week and you will start feeling real good.(Not exactly a reply, mostly posting because I'm sitting in the hospital with some family thinking health thoughts and thought it might be of use to someone).
I know I have some posts critical of the glp's, mostly skeptical of the long term effects iirc, but I decided to try it out a while back. Basically, I figured it's a tradoff of potential pharma-induced horrors versus whatever horrors come to people who try to be fat and old at the same time. (yeah, I know I could just eat better and exercise more instead, but I've managed to go my entire life without ever managing to do that enough to make a difference). I've always been pretty healthy for a fat guy, none of the typical problems except for being fat, weight has been pretty much stable for like 25+ years. I knew the clock was ticking on that though.
The shit works though. Still fat, but less fat than I've been since high school. Down over 100lbs, about 1/3 just from ketoing, 1/3 on sema which I quit after a few months because it made me feel like utter trash, and now down another 1/3 on reta. No real side effects on the reta, other than the feeling like utter trash, so I guess that's just how you feel when you eat little enough to really drop weight. Like I literally feel worse than I've ever felt over any reasonable period of time. It feels surreal to be like yeah, 100+lb fatter me had way more energy and felt way better in basically every way, but that's where we're at. I know (or at least I really fucking hope) that that will get better eventually so I'm just trying to stubborn my way though it. There's a lot of crazy shit in peptide-land when you start poking it, and I've been thinking over going whole-ass into it to try and fix everything. If I suddenly stop posting, I probably should have half-assed it instead.
That's been one of my biggest concerns involving the GLPs, the downshift in metabolistic energy. That's one are I fight against right now, I'll have cycles I go through where I just have serious issues generating the energy to get up, get moving, and do shit. I don't want to put more of a damper on that.(Not exactly a reply, mostly posting because I'm sitting in the hospital with some family thinking health thoughts and thought it might be of use to someone).
