Stop asking people how much weight they've lost. Listen. I get it. Whenever we see someone losing weight or hear about them taking the GLP-1 injections, we want to know how much weight they've lost. Speaking from experience, I hate that question. Nobody ever asks if you've maintained or not gained. Nobody ever asks how you're feeling. Nobody ever asks how many inches you've lost or how many sizes you've gone down. Nobody asks if your inflammation went away. Nobody asks if your A1C and blood sugar are in a good range. Nobody asks how your mental health has improved.

This episode is not to shame or knock anyone who has asked this question before. Hell, I've asked it before. It comes from the before-and-after diet culture mentality that we all grew up in. It comes from desperate dieting to get the weight off as quickly as possible. In this episode, I am talking about ALL of the other non-scale victories that happen and that matter even more than the pounds.
