Howdy everyone,

So, I'm fat. Not huge in any way, but much heavier than I've ever been in my life. I used to be a hell of an athlete, but following Afghanistan and what came from it, I basically can never work out again. Lots of little issues that add up to make it impossible.

Thus, I signed up for a GLP-1 to help me lose some weight. It went fine at first, just a little slow. But then my family accidentally threw away the medication (holy hell is that expensive), and I had to order a new set. The doctor prescribed a higher dose, and I figured, sure, why not.

Turns out, I hadn't taken the meds in 2 weeks, so my tolerance dropped to nothing. That means that, if you include the upped dose, when I'd only recently gone a step higher prior to losing the meds, it turns into 3x the dose.

So, that creates a lot of fun ramifications. Overall, I feel like garbage. Maybe worse than garbage. Can't eat, can barely drink, blah blah. Small sips for now, and a better awareness of my tolerance levels.

But it also means I didn't write much. I'm gonna try to get one chapter to you people this weekend, but I don't think I can do much more than that.

Sorry folks, and also, thank you for being here.
