I want to start by thanking you for your positive influence. In order of importance, I'm a father, long-term partner, and a site supervisor in a biogas plant. I've recently started using terzepatide, a weight loss drug, as I'm I am classed as obese and have failed time and time again at losing weight. I'm struggling with the feeling that I'm cheating, that I should have just persisted, pers I should have kept persisting and that I could have lost weight ma naturally as I have in the past. I live regularly, but have always struggled to control my eating habits.

However, since starting I've lost 12 pounds. I have more energy energy to help out my partner at home. I'm less distracted at work and and I no longer focus on dieting. And I'm about to restart Muay Thai and jujitsu training.
