My cholesterol was elevated.
And so those scared me, right?
Like I had just lost my father to exactly the things that I'm now looking at in my blood report.
And so I was like, you know, I think it's finally time for me to really take this seriously and figure out, you know, a strategy to move forward.
And she suggested Manjaro.
It is a injectable that you take weekly.
It slows your digestion, basically, is how it works.
And in doing so, it reduces the rate at which you can eat and how hungry you get.
And so, you know, I decided to go on it.
Do you mean emotionally or physically?
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
I mean, emotionally, it was really hard to make the decision to go on it.
I saw it as two things.
I saw it as a betrayal to the kind of body positivity and feminism that I had ascribed to of loving yourself at any size and not trusting pharmaceutical interventions.
And also there was another voice inside me that was like,
this is how bad it's gotten, girl.
Like you couldn't control this and now you have to take a drug.
That's how not well you are.
And so a lot of self-judgment, a lot of shame came out with the decision to go on the medication.
Physically, it is a bumpy road.
