Rationalizing the cost

This morning was my 19th injection. I've been on 5 mg for 10 weeks. Down 27#. Losing right at 1.5#/week. Getting my product from Lilly at $500/4 weeks worth.

And because this is the way my mind works... I started thinking

I'm paying $125/week.

If I stay at the same loss rate, it will take me 67 weeks total to get to my goal weight. (Not worrying about how I'll handle maintenance right now - me and my doc will figure that out later)

That's $8,375 - for grins let's round that up to $9000.

I've been overweight my whole life, morbidly obese for at least 15 years (not anymore as of today - I'm 'just' obese) Variety of physical and mental ailments that are responsible or contribute.

If you had asked me at any point in my life - do you want to get to your weight goal for less than $10K

My answer would have been hell yeah.

Hell yeah to Zepbound. I'm grateful I've lived long enough to be able to use it.

Think of all the money I've wasted on Slimfast and Healthy choice meals and Metabolife (kinda miss that one actually) and other dieting supplements and tricks and scams. Think of how my copay would be if I had to get gastric bypass.

When I look at the BIG picture - it's a bargain.

Hell yeah Zepbound.
