The Unexpected Side of Success
Month 4 on Zepbound has been a continuation of the learning curve, with fewer curves—literally. When embarking on a weight loss journey, we typically focus on getting rid of fat, celebrating every pound lost. But what happens when you’re also interested in maintaining your curves in a positive way? What happens when fat leaves and loose skin appears in its place?
For me, this has become a crisis of epic proportions.
The Indiscriminate Fat Burner
Zepbound doesn’t care where your fat is located—it just goes. The medication instructs your body to burn fat as fuel, and that’s exactly what it does. I have this other part of me that likes to be cute and curvy, and the areas where I already felt self-conscious are now becoming even more concerning.
I had not calculated this result and was starting to feel a little panic as I realized I couldn’t let this stop my health progress!
The Jeans Don’t Lie
“Do these new jeans make my butt look big?” Hell no! All my clothes are noticeably too big. We’ve dropped a jean size, and they’re baggy. Forget relaxed fit—my ass has relaxed too much already!
The evidence is undeniable in the dressing room mirror. My body is changing, and changing rapidly.
Food Choices and Digestive Drama
Food choices haven’t changed much—I’m solid in most of my choices at this point. Carbs and carbs and oh yeah, CARBS! For the biggest part, I’ve learned to settle my stomach down some, but the relationship with food is still struggling.
The gastrointestinal side effects of Zepbound are no joke, but they do seem to be improving with time as my body adjusts to the medication.
The Unexpected Turn
I think it was around this point that I realized I needed to ask to be back in my chastity device—or a chastity device, as we have many! It’s always with excitement and anxiousness that this topic comes back up.
We both know it’s best, and I have to get my mind straight and put down the pride and all that maleness shit and resign myself to my true place of being. Zepbound had me pretty well beaten down already, so begging to be locked back up was well within my reach!
So I did.
Looking Ahead
That pretty much wrapped up month 4, but it does set us up for upcoming changes in life, work, and the FLR dynamic. More to come!
The journey with Zepbound continues to be unexpected in many ways. While the health benefits are clear, the psychological and relational impacts are just as significant. The changing body image, the shifting dynamics, and the reevaluation of identity—all part of this transformative process.
Month 5 awaits, with new challenges and new discoveries on the horizon.
Until then…
