[00:00:51] Speaker B: Welcome to the tea with Brie. I'm your host, Brie. Thanks for listening. The tea with Brie podcast is focused on deep, honest, and vulnerable conversation. Each week, I sit down with a different guest in order to have those conversations. Every week, we'll start my guest's bio, an intro to how we know each other, and then we'll go into a deep dive conversation about whatever topic they brought to me that week. This week, I'm joined by my guest, Rebecca Pavone. Rebecca uses she. Her pronouns is a born and raised Connecticut girl living in southern Connecticut. Her days include working as a financial clearance specialist for a local hospital in New Haven, Connecticut. She is a mother to her two rescue dogs, shaggy and snoopy, is engaged to her fiance, Collin, and is a certified yapper. Hello, Meep.
[00:01:30] Speaker C: Hello, Meepy yapsity.
[00:01:35] Speaker B: So, for the people who don't know, Rebecca and I have been friends for almost half of our lives, which is a fucking wild thing to think about very long. Like, we met when we were 18.
[00:01:47] Speaker C: Yeah. 2008 ish. Nine ish.
[00:01:49] Speaker B: 2008 freshman orientation. How dare you. That's right. True, true, true, true.
[00:01:53] Speaker C: You're right.
[00:01:54] Speaker B: And so here we are. We've now been friends for almost half of our lives, and I know it's been a joy for you because.
[00:02:00] Speaker C: True joy.
[00:02:01] Speaker B: I know you wouldn't be able to survive without me.
I am happy to talk to you today because this is a topic that I feel like you and I talk about in our daily lives anyway, because I'm trying to cheat the medical system off record and figure out which I think a lot of people are trying to figure out how to get access to medical support for trying to lose weight. And as a person who I've known who's been on it for a little over a year now, but has, like, switched to a different one, and now it's on this one. And who has had to figure out how to get there and has helped other people figure out how to get there, I want to talk about, like, your experience on it, what it's been like. I can sort of. I could talk about my experience. I just started on it. So the floor is yours. Where would you like to begin? Because this is the topic you picked, which I was shocked by, actually.
[00:02:48] Speaker C: I know. Well, there's a couple of things, you know, but it all kind of all ties in because you're right. It's really, really hard to gain access. And I have very big feelings about how hard it is to access these things just from, like, the grand scheme of things. Like, tiny background, worked in pharmacy, obviously, for just about the entire time you've known me. So, like, you know, not like a super great understanding, but, like, enough to be, like, okay.
And access to certain things has always been an issue. But more specifically, when the semaglutides, the terzepatides, when they all came out, it was like, okay, it started in, like, secret, almost like these people. It was like, it was like that weird celebrity, like, hidden secret. Who's the first one? It might have actually been, like, Mindy.
[00:03:39] Speaker B: Kaling and Mindy Kaylee lost a bunch of, like, weight. Yeah, I think it was Mindy and. Or people are so convinced that Adele did it and just didn't say anything because every. She, like, disappeared for a minute.
[00:03:50] Speaker C: Doesn't matter. She can do no wrong.
[00:03:52] Speaker B: Her and Kelly question, I don't care.
And then I think Oprah was, like, the one to be like, oh, no. Like, I'm on this. And then there's also, like, a feeling that all the Kardashian Jenners are on it too, which is a whole different topic. We'll get to in another.
[00:04:04] Speaker C: Well, that's because you have the money access. You can go ahead and get these things. And that's what became, like, a really big thing. So when I decided I wanted to start it, I had been, like, working out consecutively, like, maybe four to six months. I was going to the gym four to five times a week. I was eating in a calorie deficit. I was trying everything I could to, like, really lose weight. And, like, Colin and I started it together and he would lose twelve pounds in a week, and I was only losing, like, 0.2 pounds in two weeks. And, like, the fury within me was, like, crazy. And it has nothing to do with him. Like, anybody I could have went up against, anybody that was not me, whatever. Doesn't have my metabolism and they'd be doing the same thing. So, like, whatever. But my big thing is I saw this was out. I was like, you know what? I'll give it a try. Like, let's see, what's the worst that can happen? I don't lose weight, and I'm already not, so it doesn't matter. But the weird thing that always got me is that my doctor multiple times would be like, why don't you just try the weight loss surgery? Like, why don't we just have surgery and, like, fix this all together? And I'm like, hmm, I would much rather try this injection first. If this injection doesn't work, I will either, a, you know, decide to try the surgery, or b, just be happy with who I am. And that was another big thing. It's not that I was ever, like, super unhappy, but, like, I wanted to be smaller. I had gained weight. I had gained a substantial amount of weight since college, and I was like, well, you know, you could always be smaller, thinner, whatever, but healthier is more so where I'm at. And then once I started the medication, I was terrified of, like, the side effects, because they come at you and they're like, these are the awesome, awful side effects that you can experience. Knock on wood. I was very, very lucky. I did not get very many side effects. I mean, like, full disclosure, like, the only thing that you really get is some, like, gi. But I had the opposite gi. Not bad gi. I just couldn't poop aside, there was no gi. Yeah, there was no gi. The GI just left the building.
But once that regulated fine, it's just, like, crazy to me that the medical community mainly, like, insurances, you know, how hard it's been to try and get it approved and try and do anything. I know multiple people that it's been so hard to get approved.
But the way it can help significantly in other areas that in the long run down the road, I think, is where is what we're looking at can, like, change the, like, better outcomes of people's lives. Like, you can, you know, you lose weight, right? Just like, the general statistics of it. You lose weight, you have lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, less risk of diabetes, like heart failure, like, all these things. Okay? So you put somebody on this medicine for a year, two years, or essentially maybe even, like, long term, forever if it's, like, helping.
But you cut out a all those other potential diseases that you can get or risk factors to your health that you can get. But part of me thinks that, like, that's not what they want, because what are you looking for? You cut out all these things. What happens now? People don't need other medication, maybe medication that costs more money. Therapies for treating these men. You know what I mean? So it just.
That part really gets me there.
[00:07:45] Speaker B: There's so many things that you touched on that I want to go back and address. Number one, like, can we talk about what the difference between, like, the semiglutide versus trizzepotide versus, like, we'll go viral? Because I think there's so many people who are now looking at their options. Because I'm on the. I just heard on the semiglutide, which is, to me, the layman's term, like, the off brand pig, is how I explain it to people. So if you, as my nothing doctor friend, who I call for all my doctor issues, can you explain that for people?
[00:08:16] Speaker C: To begin, I wish I could explain the difference. I just know that the.
[00:08:22] Speaker B: Because you went wrong. You went from. Sorry, not to, but you went from Manjaro to trisepatide, which I think I.
[00:08:27] Speaker C: Went, no, I went from Wagovi to zep bound, which is the teres epitide. So semiglutide to teresepatide.
[00:08:35] Speaker B: Okay, great. Continue.
[00:08:36] Speaker C: So I do know. So what I can explain the difference to you. And, like, that, I know definitely I can't get into, like, the compounding and all that, and, like, what makes them different? I don't. I'm not privy to that.
[00:08:47] Speaker B: I'm not a doctor.
[00:08:48] Speaker C: Not a doctor.
But I do know that there are certain misconceptions. If you. You're a TikTok girly, you're a social media girly. You've been on it. You've been on the wagovi TikTok, you've been on the. You've been on the glue tied TikTok, right?
[00:09:02] Speaker B: Semi g, as I've called.
[00:09:04] Speaker C: I like to call it the juice. So there's that.
[00:09:07] Speaker B: You and our friend who call it the juice. Crack rio.
[00:09:10] Speaker C: The juice. Um, but, uh, you go on these websites, and there's a lot of big things. Oh, my God, actually, it's so funny. Mine's right here. There it is. I have to take it today. So take it up and see.
[00:09:23] Speaker B: Yours are pre filled. Mine, I have to do a syringe situation.
[00:09:27] Speaker C: Um, but, um, you go on all these websites. That's what I was getting at. You go on all these websites, and the first thing people say when, you know, somebody posts, like, I lost x amount of weight on semaglutide. I could. I would bet a paycheck the first comment you see is you're the reason why? My grandmother's mother's sister can't get her diabetes medication. And it's like, well, they told you that they're on Wigovi. There's a difference. Like Ozempic. Okay, you want to argue it a little bit? I'll give it to you. Because diabetics do use the ozempic and the manjaro, but if you are prescribed Wigovi or the Zepp bound, those are, like, clinically marketed for weight loss. They're not marketed for diabetes. So whichever. And it's not like, you know, the whole world's trying to get on it. So it's not like, just like this person who's had a lot of success, who's trying to share on a platform, the whole world's trying to get on it. Whether you're 18 or, I know 70 something year olds that are trying to get on this because they're like, I just, I can't lose weight. Like, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried, and it's not happening.
So that's, that's the main difference that I know is that you're looking at Wigovi and Zephyr, which are marketed for weight loss, and then you have your manjaro and your ozempic, which technically, in order to get through your insurance, you have to have a diabetes diagnosis to get. Now, they all do the same thing, essentially. Like, right. They're all, you know, these appetite suppressants. But the main thing, and this is something you and I have talked about, I actually meant to ask you, like, how yours is going the first couple of weeks. It's a little bit, but, like, that food noise that I never knew, like, existed, then all of a sudden it's not there, and I'm like, amazing.
[00:11:23] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:11:23] Speaker C: What? Like, amazing, you know?
[00:11:25] Speaker B: Yeah, so, yeah, so, yeah, I'll share my experience. So I have been trying to get on this med probably for about two years now, and I was with a doctor who was the same way of like, no, no, no. Like, we can put it through, but your insurance won't cover it. And I was pre diabetic at this point, so she's like, no, no, no, your insurance won't cover it. You know, what have you thought about weight loss surgery? And I, too, was like, I don't want to get it. But, you know, I'm like, I was pre diabetic and I had high blood pressure, and I was like, no. Like, I would rather, like, work out and figure some things out, but I want to still use this as, like, an assistant. So she's like, no. Like, she wouldn't put it through. And then this is the same doctor that put me on that diabetic med. Do you remember this? I can't remember the name of it. She put me on metformin, which I was on for a month, and nothing happened. It didn't do anything for me.
It just made me annoyed. At this point, I was like, nothing has changed. So I'm here taking this med that I really don't need for no real purpose. So I did that. Then I moved back to Texas, and I dedicated the last year to just working out, because at this point, between May of 2023 and September of 2023, I would work. I worked out and lost, like, maybe ten pounds, but I was no longer pre diabetic. I no longer had high blood pressure. So I just got my numbers down on my own. And then, because we have two. I have two weddings this year, I was like, okay, let me dedicate this next year to working out, eating better, doing all the things. So I did that from September to April, and I was. I did 75 days of working out from September to, like, November. And, like, my body changed, my weight didn't change. Like, that was an interesting combination.
Um, which. The scale is alive, which we'll circle back to as well.
[00:13:17] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:13:17] Speaker B: Um, and then from December, from probably, like, November to April, again, nothing really happened. Um, a doctor who I did not care for, he was an asshole, but he did get me on phentromine, which is an oral medication that has a stimulant in it, which, again, not my doctor, but you are my doctor. I'm talking to you, and you're like, okay, like, it's a stimulant. We talked about, like, the fact that I had had a high blood pressure. I talked to this doctor about, he's like, you'll be fine. We'll just monitor. So I did that for about two months, maybe three.
And from the minute I started taking fentramine, I started dropping weight.
And because I had no food noise. And so that milk, the milligram on that is, like, 37.5. It's super affordable. I think I paid, like, 16, $17 for it for a month's supply. But you're only on it. My doctor only prescribed it for three months. I think the most, like, the research I was doing, the most someone has been on it has been, like, maybe a year. Because it is a stimulant. They literally, truly watch your heart on this medication. So that's when my food noise really cut out. It was, like, overnight, like, I took the med and immediately worked. And because I had a stimulant, I now had so much energy that I was like, I can work out for, like, 4 hours. It was like, so I was still working out. I was now taking this medication. So from April to now, I'll say I probably lost 20 ish, 15 to 20 ish pounds between being on phetramine and now starting a semiglutide compound, which my last doctor prescribed, this wonderful woman of color. I went in, and she was like, I want you off this fentron, because I'm just really nervous about it. With your heart. So she put me on this. I started this probably about six weeks ago, and I've lost probably, like, six pounds, seven pounds in the last, like, month.
But it was so interesting, like, with my journey, too, of, like, first of all, fighting with insurance. Also, I think you and I talked about this, too. Like, I feel. And you were just saying this, too. Like, once you get your number, of course they want people on it, because then you're gonna, like, not need all these things. So that tied in with being a black woman, I think, was also a lot of, like, racial and discrimination shit that I faced of, like, well, no, just have surgery. Like. But I don't want surgery. I want to do this.
[00:15:37] Speaker C: If I wanted surgery, I would have asked.
[00:15:39] Speaker B: I would have done it. Yeah, right. And so it was that too, of. And it wasn't until I had that doc, that woman of color doctor, who was like, just. Why has no one prescribed you this shot yet? And I was like. So I took her through this whole thing of, like, my. The white lady doctor. I had this man of color who I had, who was a dick. Oh, he was awful.
[00:15:58] Speaker C: I know. I remember that.
[00:15:59] Speaker B: He was a mother. He would not return my calls. Anyway, not the point. I know I'm in therapy. I moved on.
And so, yeah, so now being on this and texting you today, because I apparently been taking it the wrong way, because I've been. I've been trying, trading myself up, but it's fine. Not life. Life and liberty. So, anyway, so that.
And the. And I. From what I've learned from TikTok and Google, the reason that they started doing the compound was because people were trying to get, like, the name brand for so long. So I don't know what the actual difference on the compound is, but it's essentially, like, not taking from people who are diabetic, who need this. I'm gonna link in the show notes the NPR podcast because I am who I am and I listen to NPR every morning that consider this podcast. They were just had it. They just had a talk about shortages. And you would think like, La or New York City is the one that's, like, using it the most. And it's like all these small towns in like, middle America. Like, it's a city in, like, Kentucky that has, like, basically everybody on Semagluta or some sort of one of these drugs. So I'll link it. So it's just very fascinating to listen to as a person who's on this medication.
But, like, we've talked about gaining access to the system and all these things of, like, you see celebrities who get on it. And I think also for a long time of why I wanted to build up this, like, the habit of working out and eating right was so that I could be the best version of myself on this medication. Because, like, I, too, haven't had any side effects except for, like, I think a headache the other day, which as a migraine, girly, that's normal. But it was like the day after I shot that day. But I did have a little wild night the night before. So that's probably why.
But yeah, so, like, having done all this and done all these systems and, you know, having listened to a thing, I think it was Oprah was a podcast or something. She. Oh, no, it was a doctor talk, a doctor on TikTok talking about how he really supports this medication. And it was a perfect example of Oprah. He's like, you have Oprah who has publicly tried every workout, every thing, every diet is whatever Oprah level money Oprah. And he's like, for her to not have success until she was on this medication truly shows how obesity is a disease, how we should be treating it like we would treat any other disease.
[00:18:30] Speaker C: When you can get a medication for never understand it.
[00:18:33] Speaker B: I will, because I think people just think it's a choice to be overweight.
[00:18:36] Speaker C: Or obese or whatever. That's what it is. And to, like, just quickly circle back to what you were saying about how you really got into the habit of, like, working out and things like that. I mean, you and I have had the conversation multiple times. I mean, I've said it to you multiple times. This isn't a magic fix. This doesn't fix everything, which we will get into. There's another portion of this conversation that I want to get into a little bit later is the effects of, like I told you, I said, you know, I've lost. So at this point, I'm probably like eight pounds away from being 70 pounds down from March of 2322-2323 yeah. Yeah. Because 23, 24 March. Yeah, march. I was at this past march. I was on it a year. I'll be on it two years. Um, I'm almost 70 pounds down. Uh, but there's not also a lot going on of the conversation of how you feel, how you feel. Um, about how you look like, oh, after you.
[00:19:37] Speaker B: Well, yes. Mm hmm.
[00:19:39] Speaker C: Because it's great. It's great. I'm 70 pounds down. It's wonderful. I feel great. Like, I feel better. I, you know, whatever. And then every chance I get, I'm, you know, complaining to you or Colin or like our other juice girlies that we're friends with. And I'm like, hey, guess what? I hate the way I look still. I was like, you know, I hate that my stomach still looks the way it does or now, worse yet, I have these thighs that I can't do anything with because I'm just losing the weight and whatever. You know what I mean? So it's like one of those. It's like one of those things. I mean, in my ass, the biggest thing. Like, it.
[00:20:18] Speaker B: Don't get her started, please.
[00:20:19] Speaker C: It's gone. It's gone.
[00:20:21] Speaker B: We've talked about this offline. We are gonna, when I move back, we're gonna work on it. Because you remember, I had no but for half of our friendship, so there's hope for everyone if I can. Truly, I'm like, you guys, it may have been genetics like that. My people in my family, I never had an ass until maybe like a year ago. And then, like, now everything. Glute is like twice a day, baby. I mean, twice a week. Like, it's a. And I take protein. There's a whole thing. Like, there's a whole. Yeah, but, but, yeah. I mean, the body dysmorphia is a huge thing of, like, in me as a person who is truly always going to be in eating disorder recovery, who's always, like, had a, who's very. And it's weird now too, like, having now lost 30 pounds in a year of how I have become more crucial of my body, of, like, you. There are days when I'm like, I've lost no weight like, you. I look at a photo, I'm like, I'm the same. Like, there's nothing has changed. I feel like I've texted you at least once a week. Like, wow, I did. I've done nothing in a year. And everyone's like, I know. Like, when I spy. What about the dress?
[00:21:22] Speaker C: I know, I know.
[00:21:23] Speaker B: You're like, take a breath. You also work out so you're more muscle. I'm like, I know, but, yeah, so, like, that idea of, like, being thinner, being smaller, being all these things and. And truly, like, I'm so grateful for, as everyone knows, my therapist, Brittany. Shout out to Britney.
[00:21:39] Speaker C: Shout out to Brittany. Not plugged, but plugged.
[00:21:41] Speaker B: Listen, if you guys want her link, I fucking love her. You have to live in Texas, though, because she's only licensed here anyway. But that, too, of, like, I think you and I have this conversation often, too, of, like, you can love your body and also want to change things about it. And to talking to you about, like, how much your body has changed in the last two years of, like, you are a more confident and more healthy person. But also on the other side of, like, there is that feeling of, like, but this isn't how I want it to look. And what does that look like and feel like? And I just think no one really talks about that. So you just think, I'm gonna get on it and things gonna get fixed and, like, no, like, there's still so many things you have to do to have the actual body that you want. And I think, you know, we talked about this at the beginning of, like, it's not a miracle, magical thing. Like, you can drop the weight of, but then also, like, you have to do things like, tone up, do the work. And as a girly who takes supplements, because I am a supplements girly because I've done the TikTok education and get around creatine and protein and getting your greens in and making sure of fiber. For those of us who have, those of y'all who have, like, gi stuff, fiber is going to be your friend so much.
[00:22:53] Speaker C: So much.
[00:22:54] Speaker B: But, yeah, I just, I just, I I want people to acknowledge that, too, because I think so many people who just think it's gonna just fix everything, I'm like, but it's truly also mental. Like, once you get the physical part down, I'll, like, you can drop the weight, truly. But then what are you gonna do with, like, what are you gonna do?
[00:23:13] Speaker C: And then another thing, another really hard thing that I think has always been since, like, my weight loss has been noticeable. And it's, no, it's like, I don't say this in, like, a negative, like, condensation or anything like that, but, like, when people say, oh, my God, you look so good, like, you look so pretty. You look so good. Blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, guys, I was just fat before. I look the same exact way that I did. I was just fat. So, like, yes, I know. I know. It's in. No, thank goodness. But what are you gonna do but like, it? That's something that you. Then. Then you have to. Then I think about that. I'm like, oh, my God, was I, like, ugly before? Like, what's happening? You know, because people mean it. Most people mean it, like, in, like. Like, they truly mean it as a compliment. Like, you look so good, you've lost so much weight, blah, blah, blah. But that weird, like, affiliation that you have to be thin to be pretty is, like, also very, very weird. Yeah.
[00:24:13] Speaker B: Also, like the. I wrote about this on my instagram recently. I like the things I've learned or no one told me about when you were lose, like, losing 30 pounds of. If I hear one more person, I don't know why this triggers me so much. If I hear one more person say, keep it up, bitch. What do you think I'm gonna do? Sit in the corner? Like, do you think.
[00:24:35] Speaker C: What do you think the goal was?
[00:24:37] Speaker B: I spiral of like, motherfucker, do you think I love getting up at 06:00 a.m. do you think I like making sure I get all my protein hits for the day? Do you think I wanna be walking this? I was at the gym for an hour and a half earlier. Do you think I wanna be there? I like it. Don't get me wrong. I'm grateful that I can move my body, but also those days, I'm like, I.
[00:24:55] Speaker C: Would you think I want to spend this money out of pocket to go to a personal trainer that I'm spending it on now to go and tone myself up and do what I have to do? Fuck, no. I don't want to do that.
[00:25:05] Speaker B: I would rather lay in bed.
[00:25:07] Speaker C: Yeah. Do I want to lay in bed until I have to sign on at my work from home job 20 minutes before I have to be on work?
[00:25:14] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:25:14] Speaker C: Was I up at 530 this morning?
[00:25:16] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:25:17] Speaker C: Was it miserable? Probably, but here we are. You know what I mean? I digress, but, like, I also.
[00:25:22] Speaker B: I just want to. Before I move on to, like, the I and I have found. I think it's such a coastal thing, like, us being from the east coast. I have a friend from. From California. We talked about this, too, because she's lost a lot of way over her life of, like, of how people like. And I don't want to call it your sister, but it's definitely a thing she said to me before. Like, I walk in, she's like, oh, my God. You figure you're so skinny. And I'm like, hi. Hello. Lovely to see you.
[00:25:47] Speaker C: Well, it's the first thing that people notice about you now. It's the first people thing.
[00:25:52] Speaker B: Well, it's been funny, too, because living here in Austin, like, a lot of folks don't comment on other people's bodies. It's just like, you look happier, you're glowing. All these things. Like, I've definitely had some friends, like, who seem friends who even see me every day. Like, you have gotten so skinny. And I'm like, you guys, I'm still like, I'm currently 220. Like, your girl is dracked. Like, which is why the scale is a liar. Because I'm like, my body has definitely decreased, but the scale has not. But I also, as a black woman, too. Like, this is scientifically proven for the people are going to be, like, on my ass. It's scientifically proven that black people are just significantly more muscular than other racial groups, which why we fucking sun at the Olympics anyway.
I grow muscle super quickly, so I'm dense. I'm conversation.
[00:26:42] Speaker C: You and I have had that conversation before. Like, you know, you've said my scales not moving, and we've mentioned it a couple of times, even today. Like, my scales are moving, and I'm like, but you're working out three times a day and you're gaining muscle.
I am 105 to six times a.
[00:27:01] Speaker B: Week, three times a day.
[00:27:03] Speaker C: I'm at 190 pounds. But the rest of me is just like. I'm essentially just like a bag of Jell O. Like, you know, that's why I need to go ahead and, like, really start this, like.
Like, toning process. Like, you know, I don't have the. I don't have the money. We already did it once. We already did that. We already did the money once on my arms.
[00:27:27] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:27:27] Speaker C: You know, if anybody wants to sponsor those, we can work out a deal.
[00:27:38] Speaker B: I'm sure I've offered shameless plug. Give you half of mine. You can take.
[00:27:43] Speaker C: If I could, I would. If the people could see, they would be like, okay, okay.
[00:27:50] Speaker B: I'm telling you what. When I move back, you're gonna truly hate me. Like, okay, it's time. Let's go. I'm. And I'm a morning workout person, too, so, like, hi, wish you'll. Once you get into that, not to be that person, create the habit.
[00:28:03] Speaker C: It's just like, he goes to me this morning, he calls me this morning. He says, I'm so proud of you. Like, you know, getting up early. I know you don't like it. He said, once you get into the routine, you're gonna love it. And then he goes under his breath before we hang up the phone. You might not love getting up early, but I'm happy that you're doing it. And Colin, very supportive, has always been very, very supportive.
Has like, has gotten to the point where he's like, okay, it, like, you know that TikTok, it's enough slices. Like, that's kind of where Colin's at. Like, he's like, you don't really need to, like, lose anymore. Like, it's fine. And I was like, I just want to lose a little bit more. And he's like, no. And I'm like, okay. And I was like, but I'm gonna, like, you know me. I, yeah, I'm gonna do what I want. But regardless, it's like one of those things, though. It's. I forgot my train of thought. What was I saying? Oh, he's like, proud, oh, get up. And, you know, it's just like, you just got to get up and do it. And that's what we did when we started going to the gym, him and I together, I hated it. And he would go every morning after work. Like after he worked his ten hour overnight shift, he would go or we would wake up early and he'd be like, let's just go. Or let's go after dinner, like, you know, whatever, just to try and like, get ourselves there. And then once I got in the routine and I got in the habit, I liked going to the gym. And then unfortunately the summer comes and then it's like, I have other things that I would really like to do.
[00:29:25] Speaker B: But I'm telling if you just going, this is why I'm a morning person. So I'm like, when it's just done, it's done.
[00:29:30] Speaker C: Yeah. Like the trainer that I'm going to see, the trainer that I'm going to see, he gave me the option. He was like, you can do in the morning or I work as late as like 630. And I toyed with it and I said, dave, to be completely honest with you, if I do not go in the morning, I will not be seeing you in the evening. So I will see you bright and early. 630.
[00:29:51] Speaker B: That's how I feel.
Not good. Now that I'm fun employed, I can just go whenever I want. But I literally was that I have to go before work or I will not go because I'm just like exhausted at the end of the day. Like I'm exhausted when I get up in the morning too, don't get me wrong, which everyone laughs at me. They go, you go to bed at like 830? I go, yes, because I have to be up at the ass crack of dawn. So I take my little melatonin and I go off to a little bedland and then I wake up in the morning, change, shower, like, go to work, the whole sherbang. But it is truly habitual.
[00:30:23] Speaker C: It is. You have to get into the habit. And once you get just like everything. So that's a lot of circling that circles me back to the point of when I started the medication. One of the things that I got really happy about was I was like, oh, this is going to get me into the habit of knowing if I'm eating to just eat or if I'm eating because I need to eat or like whatever, but like portion control. Because now I'm like, hey, I can look at this and see that I'm full now. But where if I wasn't on this medication, I would have overeaten, given myself a stomach ache and then been miserable about it after just because I was like, I can eat more of this. You know what I mean? So I really like that. I'm also trying to find, you haven't gotten there. You're so new on it. I'm trying to find a conversation, somebody to have a conversation with who's been on it.
I feel like my shots don't last as long now. So when I first started, I was able to, like, I would inject on a Monday night usually because if I was going to have side effects, I was hoping that like, I would just surpass them in the middle of the night.
So I'd inject on a Monday night and then I wouldn't be hungry until like Saturday or Sunday. Now I'm kind of getting hungry, like end of Thursday, Friday.
But I'm working on that. That also could just be me thinking like, oh, it's not working, and I'll just do whatever I want. But then I take three bites of something and I'm like, oh, there she is. It's working.
But, you know, just getting there. It's just, I think the trial and.
[00:32:10] Speaker B: Error, I think it's also too, like, maybe you're just moving into the maintenance phase. Like maybe this is just hopefully, yeah, your body's just gotten used to it and, yeah, I mean that I've def my food noise has definitely subsided. Like, and it's interesting as a person who trigger warning, again, has an immediate disorder. So I'm very much like, is it. I have no food noise or am I starving myself? And so that's. But that's. That's helps. The medication has helped because now when I'm hungry, I know I am starving, and I'm like, I cannot not eat.
And so, like, there are. Was it yesterday or the other. The other day I made, like, such a nice meal was done cooking. I was like, I don't want to eat this.
[00:32:53] Speaker C: Disgusted. I.
[00:32:54] Speaker B: It was like, a nice little baby omelet I made. It was a two egg omelet with, like, turkey bacon, one slice of gouda, and a hash brown.
And I was like, mmm. Okay. So I literally split the omelette in half. And I was like, okay, we'll have a one egg omelet and call it a day. And then, like. And then I didn't eat again till, like, dinner. But it's. It definitely.
And I. My issue is, like, I have such a sweet tooth. I will always love a dessert moment. And so, like, I have really gotten good about, like, making desserts that have more protein in them. Like, I found this. Cause, again, Instagram and TikTok. Thank God for the Internet for those moments.
[00:33:34] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[00:33:35] Speaker B: I have found, like, people's version of, like, a take five that's, like, made with dates and peanut butter and whatever. And then I have so fucking good.
First of all, you can't taste the date. It's just for the texture.
Delicious. And then I did a banana pudding which slapped, but it was, like, with vanilla greek yogurt, banana pudding mix. Mix that together, make, like, a pudding from that. And then nilla wafers. Not the off brand. I want the full ass brand. No wafer. But it was the ones that are, like, the pre packaged ones. So I'm not opening a full thing and then sliced of, like, actual banana. I mean, like, little layers when I tell you that shit slaps.
[00:34:20] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:34:20] Speaker B: And then also, like, I'm getting protein. I'm getting my sweet tooth moment. I'm not overdoing it. So I'm like, I've been stationated because I used to be like, if I'm. If I couldn't sleep and I wanted something sweet, I would. I would have to get up and have it. And now I'm like, I want it, but I don't want it. Cause I don't want to really eat it. Like, it's like, it's still, like, at night, I get a little noisy and, like, no, I'm fine. Like, I don't really.
[00:34:42] Speaker C: I used to be. I used to be a really big nighttime. This is gonna be so gross that I'm admitting this, but I used to be. I know there's people that do it, and I don't care. Like a fridge eater, you would open the refrigerator with the refrigerator door open and, like, eat leftover, whatever. Whatever. String cheese. I'm eating a string cheese at 12:00 at night. For what reason? Nobody knows. Or, like, leftover whatever. Cake, ice cream, whatever. And I'm just standing in front of the refrigerator like a trash panda. And.
You know what I mean? Like, just, like, one of those things. But I do that. I still do it sometimes, but I do it significantly less because. Same thing. I'm like, oh, I want this. And then I'm like, am I hungry? Am I bored? Maybe I'll just go to bed.
You know? I think about, he's going back to high school and whatever. And Tammy, we love Pammy. Pammy used to say, drink a glass of water.
[00:35:36] Speaker B: She's like, I just wrote the doll. Like, water.
[00:35:38] Speaker C: You're bored. You're not.
[00:35:40] Speaker B: You're not hungry.
[00:35:40] Speaker C: You're bored. Drink a glass of water. And that's what I try to do now. I'm like, I can have a. I can have a water bottle and go to bed and be fine, but, like, also not. Because, like, I'm trying to, like, not eat anything, but I'm at the point where I've eaten my full meals for the day. Like, I know at this point, I'm just bored, and I'm just trying to do something because I'm not asleep yet, and, like, I should be asleep. You know what I mean? Yeah.
[00:36:02] Speaker B: For.
[00:36:03] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:36:03] Speaker B: I mean, as I take a chug of water. But that was another habit I, like, did in the last year of, like, I wanted to get so good at drinking my water, and I worked at a desk job, except when I was running around with the kids, but I would be at my desk, and so there was no excuse for me not to drink water because I am the person, too. Like, if I'm working in my. But my brain isn't stimulated, I can. I'm the person who can work and listen to a podcast and answer a phone. Like, I can. I truly can multitask at work.
[00:36:32] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:36:32] Speaker B: And so I would be. I'm bored. Like, even though I'm doing all these things, like, I'm bored. So I also like eating snacks because I'm like, I need something to keep me busy. And then I swapped. I was like, well, every time I think I want to eat something, I'll pull up ham, per her example, and just drink water. And so I was drinking, like, three Stanley's a day between working out, being at my desk, and because the bathroom was, like, two steps from my desk. I'm like, I have to pee now to, like, right there. Be there. But, you know, it truly flushed. You know, flushes everything out. It just. It also fills you. So it's also like, am I actually hungry or am I bored? So that also really helped, too.
[00:37:08] Speaker C: But I just like, from that perspective, I am so my water intake is still so bad. So here's the thing, right? I think that if I was doing everything, like, exactly how I was supposed to be doing it, I probably would have lost more by now. However, you're human. I am happy with the rate at which I lost. Yes, to one to two pounds a week. I think my most was three pounds per week maybe, if that. But you see these people that are like, I lost, like, 50 pounds. Yeah, yeah, 40 pounds in two months. And I'm like, eek. That terrifies me because, again, terrible for your body. It's terrible for your body. And then again, like, what do you do? I. You know, what do you do with all the skin? Like, your body is not, like, snapping back. So, like, while I was complaining about my thighs and my ass and my things like that, I am very lucky that I think my arms are, like, still kind of okay, my pooch in the front of my. In the front of my belly, like, has gone down, but not, like, hanging. Like, I'm sure if I lose a little bit more, it could happen. But, like, it's, like, uniform. I put it in this. This thing, and you can't even see what's going on.
[00:38:22] Speaker B: So, yeah, that's actually made me think back to my. What I was going to talk about is, you know, the celeb, the celebrity of this, of, like, the thin people who get on this to drop, like, 1015 pounds. Like, they. It is truly a conversation with doctors and online. Like, if it's like, if you're not trying to lose a significant amount of weight, you do not need to be on this medication.
[00:38:47] Speaker C: Like, especially if you can afford these personal trainers. And.
[00:38:51] Speaker B: And you're already a thin person. Like, which we all know thin doesn't equate to healthy, and overweight does not equate to unhealthy. I'm like, this is the healthiest I've ever been. Like, I can truly lift a horse right now.
[00:39:04] Speaker C: My cholesterol has gone down. My blood pressure has always been great. But you want to know something? And this is another big thing that comes in with this. And I've had this conversation with multiple of friends that are on this. The. It doesn't just curb food, noise and things like that.
I smoke significantly less cigarettes on this medication, and it's like, you drink less? Yeah, I do not drink as much. And, like, I was never, like, a huge, huge drinker, like, at home drinker. Like, if I go out, like, you know, whatever, you know, happens, like, you know, I don't have. I don't have, like, wine at home or anything like that. I was never like that. But, you know, I have friends that were like, I would drink, you know, whatever, from home, whatever. Not a big deal. And then they were like, but I noticed that I'm not doing that as much anymore. Like, I just don't want it. Same thing. Kind of like the sweet treat, right? Like, I know I can have it, but do I want it? I don't really want it. Yeah. So I'm not gonna have it. But that's, like, a big thing that they're looking into for people with, like, drinking and stuff like that to see if this can help curb that, like, cessation for them to, like, stop drinking and stop doing, you know, stop, like, you know, maybe binge drinking. I don't know. But then again, associated with that comes weight gain and things like that. You're consuming all of these empty calories because you're drinking however many beers or sugary drinks or whatever. But I think that that's a really cool thing for them to start looking into. But, you know, we already talked about how that'll probably never be a thing because once you cure a problem, you ruin a whole financial system. Yeah.
[00:40:50] Speaker B: Yeah. Because, I mean, workflow for people, insurance will go down. The cost of these medications will go down.
[00:40:57] Speaker C: Well, you know.
[00:40:59] Speaker B: You know, life. Who wants people to be healthy? But then I think that's another thing, too. And I don't know if you've experienced this, but I feel I. For a long time, I think also why I wanted to do this year of getting in the habit of all that, all the habits I did, because I don't know why society is like, oh, you've cheated. Like, you're on a. You're on the miracle drug, you're cheating. Like, no, no, no, girly. Like, and it's still even now like, so many people like it. If you get on this, like, who knows what the side effects are for so long? Your thyroid. I'm like, you're not a medical person. You're just yelling online. And then it's the same people who like, but they don't want anybody overweight. But I'm like, okay. Like, you can't. What do you want then? Here. Sorry.
[00:41:40] Speaker C: Struggle. Biggest struggle. And I. But I'm with you on that.
I have always been very much forthcoming about when people are like, oh, my God, you look amazing. Like, blah, blah, blah. What are you doing? I'm like, I'm on. I'm on the shop, aka the juice. That's what I call it. Collins, you gotta stop calling it the juice. And I'm like, it is very steroidy. To the day I die, I will call it the juice. But, you know, he's. People say it, and then they. Then you just. You gotta do it right? So if people start saying it to you and you start saying, oh, well, I'm on the shot. I'm on. I'm on the injection.
The juice, if you will.
You watch their face when you tell them because it turns from, likes, not everybody, not everybody. But sometimes it turns from, like, weird, like, praise, like, so happy for your accomplishments to, like, this, like, judge y. Like, super, super judgy. And I. And then I get into the conversation. I have the conversation. Like, when I feel it, I don't always feel like it. Whatever you want to. You want to judge it to eat your own. Who am I? But, like, when I get in the conversation, I tell that story that I told you before. Colin and I were going to the gym four to six months straight. We were going four to five times a week for at least an hour plus a day. I was eating so much grilled chicken and rice and vegetables that it was like, ugh, now I'm on the shot. And now that's so many thoughts, but food aversion. So now I'm like, ugh, I don't want to eat all this chicken.
But, you know, so I'm like, okay, you want to. You want to sit here? You want to judge me? Like, I tried this. There's also so many benefits for women with infertility issues. That's another big thing, is the. Is the baby's born on ozempic. Like, you know, you go to the doctor, right, and you say, I'm having trouble getting pregnant. I can't sleep at night. I have x, y, and z me. My hair's falling out, whatever. You know what I mean? And what's the first thing that they say to you? You lose weight, you're overweight. Maybe if you lose, like, 20 pounds, we can come back and then we can check it out. Out the door. Not even so much as comes near me to check my pulse. Like, out the door. They're out the door. And I'm like, okay, great. So circling back into that, I just went to my ob gyn. I think I told you this. I went to my ob Gyn, and I, Colin and I, obviously getting married eventually, kids, possibly down the road, whatever. I said, well, my mom had a really hard time getting pregnant. My sister had a very hard time. Cannot get pregnant. And my sister, I mean, we're complete opposites. She was so skinny her entire life. Like, we are complete opposites, and she can't get pregnant. So I tell my doctor this, I say, hey, this is what the deal is. Two years ago, you told me that I needed to lose at least 30 pounds. Well, I'm down 56.
Do you think we can do the blood work for PCos? And, like, whatever's going on and whatever.
First words out of her mouth were, well, I see that you're on the wagovi. And I said, yes. And she said, and that could be the reason why you're having trouble getting pregnant, because there aren't enough studies on the. On, like, pregnant, like, getting pregnant and being on the shot. And I said, well, that's actually the opposite of what I've heard. I've been seeing a bunch of women getting pregnant because they've lost 60 pounds, 100 pounds, people that could never get pregnant, people, women in their forties that were getting pregnant, you know what I mean? And it was just like, it was just like, you want me to do one thing, I complete one goal, and then you still throw another obstacle at me. And I, like, before I left that, I said, you either need to test me for this or, like, I won't come back. Like, that's basically what it was.
I said, I need to know what's going on. And then the other thing is, is the blood work comes back. They say you test positive for whatever, these genetic things, whatever. And I'm like, okay, do I need to have a follow up appointment to, like, be explained to, like, what this stuff is? And she was like, no, your appointment will come, you know, your next. Your next appointment that you have, that's when you'll discuss it. And I said, okay. So there's, like, nothing of concern, like, what is happening. What am I doing? Why do I have to beg to advocate for myself? Girl, I know. Exactly. And every sense of the word, I have to beg.
[00:46:12] Speaker B: Well, that was me too. We talked about. I have very regular periods, and I have since I was 16, of, like, I used to get it every three months. So, like, I wouldn't have it January, February, March. I'd get it in April, and it would last for three weeks.
[00:46:26] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:46:27] Speaker B: Now I just don't get one right.
[00:46:29] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:46:29] Speaker B: But since, you know, losing the weight and getting on this medication specifically, I now have a more regular period. Like, I don't know when it's gonna happen, but it kind of. It just comes. Yeah, the minute I'm under 220, it happens. But I'm like. But I, like. You're saying, like, I think it's because, you know, working out consistently and being on this medication as a person who is not trying to get pregnant right now. Everybody, let that be known. I am single as a pringle. There is nobody lined up. Also, that is not an invitation to slide into my DM's. I'm just having a conversation anyway. But, you know, having had my last guy know who I loved here, she was like, you definitely have PCos. And I was like, thank you, girl. So being able to take that diagnosis from her to my other doctor to then talk about that was really helpful. But, yeah, I mean, there's a girl I follow on social media who. It's her Instagram's Callie eats. I'll link her in the show notes.
[00:47:21] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:47:21] Speaker B: But she talked about how, like, she had been having a lot of fertility issues, and so that's why she was just paying out of pocket for the. So that's when I think I first heard about the semaglutide compound, because she was on it, because her insurance wouldn't cover it. They. And she's like, a white woman from, like, the Pacific Northwest. They're like, no. Like, you can do that. She's like, I'm making all my meals at home. I'm eating well, I'm working out. I'm doing all the things, and I still can't get pregnant. So she was only on it for, I think, about three months just to kind of lose a little bit of weight to see if it help with her fertility. And I then she stopped sharing it because of people being really judgy about it. But, I mean, you've seen me, like, I'm like, hi. I did fentrymean, if you have any questions, here it is. I did this because I'm just like, I also. As a person who is online and who shares my workouts, I'm like, I don't want someone thinking, like, it was only because of working out. Like, I want to say, like, this is all the stuff I did because it's. It can be very much the highlight reels. And so, I mean, having talked to you and the other juice girls about being on it, like, it just. It does really help because you just think. I think every, like, online is such a fake place, and so to be able to, like, no, like, this is what I did, and I will talk to you about it. And I don't care if you judge it because, I mean, I haven't had anyone be, like, judgmental about it, but people, like, you have lost, like, so much weight. Like, it's only, like, ten pounds. I think I just look different really quickly, but it's like, well, I'm also, like, like we said, working out like crazy. But yeah, I'm just like, just let people do what the fuck they want. Like, I will never understand the judgment of just, like, me neither. I think it's so they wanted to do.
[00:48:55] Speaker C: I think it's. I think it's actually insane. Like, what does it matter to you what I do? You didn't like me when I was fat, and you judged me because I was fat. Because, look, I was unhealthy. Now I'm losing weight, and how I'm losing weight. You don't like that either. So, like, again, pick. Pick a medium somewhere. I'm either gonna, you know, I'm either gonna do this or I'm, you know, whatever. I just, like, I don't get what people's, like, gripe is about. About what other people do and how they do it. Again, if it directly affects you somewhere, like, okay, fine, I can understand, like, maybe, like, a little bit of the reserve and whatever.
[00:49:34] Speaker B: I'm like, if your partner got on this, on this medication, lost but your way and left you, sure, if you're upset with this medication because your partner dumped you, great. But I can validate that. But if you're just, like, mad that I've lost weight, I don't know what to do with that for you. Be mad, my friend.
[00:49:50] Speaker C: Stay mad, stay mad.
[00:49:53] Speaker B: Don't care.
I mean, again, in the last year, working out, now, being on this medication, having talked to you too, like, you do, change, like, you do, become a healthier person. For me, I. My confidence increased because for a long time.
And the reason why I have an eating disorder because I, for a long time, it was inundated that your, your worth or your beauty was tied to thinness. And so, like, obviously, like, trying to unpack that and work in that in therapy. And I'm not more. I'm not more or less worthy because of the weight I've lost. Right.
But you do change. Your confidence does change. And so it was really funny. I came home to Connecticut, and there's a person who I've known for a while there and family friend, and for the longest time, he ignored me, would act like I did not matter, right.
And so I went home last. No. What was that? March, June, July, July. I was home in July. Grandmother's birthday party. This person is there, and he's, like, trying to talk to me. At this point, I'm just like, I have. I now see through your shit, like, you. And the first thing he says, like, oh, you look great. And I was like, I'm aware.
[00:51:09] Speaker C: Thank you. I know.
[00:51:10] Speaker B: No, thank you. Not that thing. I'm aware.
And so he kept, like, trying to come over and talk to me. And this man, again, would truly ignore me in every other party unless it was, like, to stroke his ego or, like, whatever. So you came back a couple of times, and I go, can I help you with something? And he's like, oh, like, why are you being mean to me? And I was like, I'm not like, I'm just matching the energy you've always had for me before I lost the weight, that, you know, I'm just energy, matching energy. And he said to one of my gods, he was like, oh, she's changed. And my God, sister life was like, well, you know, she's changing. She's a different person now. And she's even like, but also, like, you've never had any interest in her life before up until now, so why the change up? And so a couple weeks, a couple weeks ago, I want to say he'd sent me a text, and I just, like, didn't answer it. And then he responded to, like, a story I posted, and I just, like, liked it.
What are you talking about? And he was then, like, well, he said something along the lines of like, oh, I responded. I was like, hi. I'm just like, I'm not. I'm uninterested. Like, for the longest time, you didn't have time for me. Now I just don't have time for you. Like, it's fine. Don't try to act like this is on me. You, for a long time, didn't see me as a person. And now you do because I'm thinner or more attractive or whatever. And then he's like, well, what can I do to change that? I go, I actually don't need anything from you.
[00:52:29] Speaker C: Yeah, I don't want not to be.
[00:52:32] Speaker B: Rude, I just really don't need anything from you. And I know it sounds bitch, and I don't mean for it, but I think we're fine where we are.
[00:52:38] Speaker C: Like, no, thank you.
[00:52:43] Speaker B: I'll see you when I see you. I'm good. And so I think it's also been that too. Like, you and I have talked about, like, people who have. Who have a changed as people who lost the weight, which is a conversation for me. Not to be shady about right now, but, you know, I'm a particular friend I'm thinking about who just dropped all of us.
And then, you know, people who then get treated differently by specifically men I will name after you've gotten thinner. Because now, you know, you know my rotation in Connecticut, and when I tell you the phone has been blowing up, I'm like, you guys, I don't actually want any of you. You've all always been in my DM's, in my phone, specifically, and I'll cut out his name, but specifically has been, like, obsessive.
[00:53:30] Speaker C: Like, that's a very hard go away. Because guess what? Where was this? Where was this energy?
[00:53:36] Speaker B: He's always been up my ass. But specifically now in, like, the last three months, I'm like, dude, like, he got upset that first. Oh, first of all, that he saw me on a dating app and was like, why are you going, bitch? Because I'm not with you. What are you talking about? And shout out to Danny. Danny Figueroa.
[00:53:57] Speaker C: Shout out to Danny.
[00:53:58] Speaker B: The three F's. If you're not feeding me, fucking me, or financing me, what are we talking about? Literally put on a shirt. We still talk about it.
But it was like, first, why? He just, like, thinks he should have access to my body all the time. Like, he just thinks he wants my attention.
[00:54:10] Speaker C: I'm gonna need you to go somewhere.
[00:54:12] Speaker B: I'm gonna need you to truly be fucking for real.
[00:54:16] Speaker C: BFF are, sir. BFFR.
[00:54:21] Speaker B: So I'm just. It's just, I just always laugh like, you've changed, you changed, you've changed. I'm like, no, no, no. Other people's energy around me has changed. And I'm just responding correctly because y'all had been on some bullshit anyway.
Just had to name that for the people. Like, the haters are gonna hate regardless do what you want to do to be happy and healthy. And the reason why I'm in therapy always say, is, like, to do the least amount of harm while I am healing. But right now, I'm in my menace era. And if you try to ruin my piece, I will drag you. And it's not gonna. I'm from the northeast, baby. I have no feelings. So, no.
Anyway, I will put everything in the show notes, how people can find you. All the things we talked about today.
At the end of every episode, I asked a guest a final question as a sort of palate cleanser. And the question is, what is the best advice you were ever given? Or what is a piece of advice you would give to your younger self?
[00:55:15] Speaker C: The best? Oh, it's an either or.
[00:55:17] Speaker B: It's an either or.
[00:55:18] Speaker C: Okay, well, they kind of tie in together, but I guess the best advice that I could give my younger self is fuck them. That's literally, like, what it is. Like what anybody says to you, what anybody thinks about you, because you spend your time comparing yourself, especially as a child who was overweight her entire life, you spend your time comparing yourself to other people. And I think that it's very hard to, you know, get out of that. But if I could have told myself maybe, like, you know, little twelve year old Beck, like, you know, fuck these people. Don't care what they think. Be who you are. The be who you are. Be who you're going to be. Because those, I mean, it's, it's. It's emanated in my life regardless, because, I mean, you attract the people that want to be around you. If they don't want to be around you, they don't want to be around you. Don't force anybody to stay in your life. But also remember to just kind of be true to who you are. Because at the end of the day, whether you got a million friends, you got no friends. You have yourself. And you need to rely on yourself and make sure that, you know, you can. You can just be who you want to be.
Little beck, she would think I'm so cool right now. You are these days. Thanks. My little crop tops.
Lost 60 pounds. Haven't worn anything but a crop top since.
