Authentic conversations can liberate us from this burden. For me, starting a semaglutide was not just about weight loss. It was about my personal health (increasing lean muscle to combat my muscular dystrophy and decreasing my genetic risk of diabetes). It's also about reclaiming my wardrobe. I have fabulous fucking clothes that I want to keep wearing. There should be a German word for how wonderful it feels to fit back into your clothes. I’m not a psycho about it. I don’t want to fit into my prom dress or my wedding dress. I want to fit into my damn old jeans.
