glp-1 vs natural weight loss?

[celes]

my bf is gonna visit me in 2-3 months so i definitely have tons of time to lose weight naturally but i’m so scared i’ll fail and still be chubby when he visits lol. i’m so tempted to do some type of glp-1 pill but idk if it’s worth it. i’m just really stubborn too and wanna do it naturally i guess. i’ve lost weight successfully counting cals in the past but lately i’ve been so bad at it i need more discipline. what advice do you guys have? i’ve been walking 15k steps a day and eating 1,200 cals but i’m just scared of crashing. i need to push through though i have no excuses

also, i’ve been bad at being consistent lately because i moved in with my sister and she’s competitive when it comes to weight loss so she always buys tons of junk food when im dieting so i wont lose weight but i know i just need to say no. my cravings have just been worse since i started birth control so i guess thats why i have less self-control

There's a hard limit on how much you can lose in 2-3 months without surgery to remove that fat. Since you're already dieting and physically active, I do not think GLP-1 will add a lot on top of that.

I mean 4mg+ reta could help with the glucagon receptor but thats not technically a glp-1

ugh true. it just sucks cuz i get extremely painful migraines when i eat below 1,000 cals so i can only lose 2.5 lbs a week pretty much. that’s fine i guess cuz i only have 20-30 lbs to lose but still

A very low calorie deficit is unhealthy as well. I think you should optimize for healthy, not weight.

Feels very much like you should get that checked out with a therapist that specializes in eating disorders.

vyvanse is actually saving me, I've had a binge eating disorder all my life pretty much and this is the first time in my life I can control myself. I know some people use adderall but that made me really unwell. If you wanna do the GLP-1, pills aren't as effective as injections

 

[celes]

ohh okay good to know ty i’ll keep it in mind if the pills don’t work
