I've been moving away from taking my tirzepatide as often. I don't know. Previously I was gnawing at the bit to take my shot. Now, I don't really care one way or another. I'm tired of the itchy injection site reaction. It seems to be making a differene even if I wait a longer time.

If I switch over to good whole foods and eat well, can I do it without the medicine? I feel like I could. I did it before (I've said it a dozen times) but I know my body can lose weight and I know if I am getting lots of good whole foods it lets go easily.

I don't know. I think I'm going to have to weigh my options.

Happy New Year! I have started fresh for 2026. I'll continue posting in reverse with the newest entry at the top for ease of use.

Goals for this year:

• Eat 5 a day every day.
• Do not eat fast food. It is not food. Can eat out once every week or two at a restaurant.
• Go to the gym once per week.

I'm starting this year at 267.4lb. This time last year I was about 360lb. Nearly 100lb down. I bet between making good food choices and making a smidge of an effort with my physical activity I will be near my goal weight by the end of the year. But, even if I'm not, I'm still so excited!
