Today is September 1st. I haven’t given an update on my GLP-1 journey in a while. There are several reasons for that.
The most annoying reason I’ve been so quiet is I’ve lost insurance coverage for the GLP-1 medication. My insurance company decided that they were no longer going to cover GLP-1s unless you are diabetic starting October 1st. So, those who are not diabetic are on their own. I’ve been in a bit of a funk since I found out. I started thinking “What does it matter if I do or don’t have enough protein and fiber? In a little over a month, I’m either going to have to pay an arm and a leg to be healthy or give up the GLP-1.” It really has affected my motivation. I’ve been at the same weight for the past three weeks. I can’t seem to get the scale to budge. I wish I had gone up in my dosage at my last visit. I have an appointment with the doctor next week and I hope he will up my prescription and get me three months worth again.
I’m down 29 pounds since starting this GLP-1 journey. I’m down 51 pounds since I started working on my health. I don’t know what I’m going to do if this is the end of my GLP-1 journey. I’m sad. I’m mad.
