8/18 I’d love to use weight loss drugs to tackle those 10 or 20 pounds that separate me from the weight and body shape I’d like to have. But the quizzes from the different providers seem to just laugh at me. With such a starting weight I do not qualify for those drugs. I need to do it the old-fashioned way, counting calories and making sensible choices. The app asks me why I want this. To look better. Yes, it’s that simple, and that’s how vain I am. But the app wants to know more. Why do I want that? I don’t even remember how I answered that question, and the app suggested we’d do yet another, deeper why, but I declined, and left it at that.
