There is effectively no one in charge of four offices at this point
Aren't courts supposed to appoint US attorneys if the AG's choices can't secure Senate confirmation?

I'm amused that progressive copium that "nobody competent will work with these assholes" is turning out not to be cope.

overall great. the diminished cravings are very mindfuck. I used to have to go to a coffee shop nearby every morning to get a latte and a goodie. like I just had to
and about a week after going on GLP-1s the whole place started sounding disgusting. I've been there twice in the last year and didn't enjoy anything
I'm sure going on this drug cost them like $2000 a year in revenue alone
the thing is I don't enjoy food any less when I do eat something I like. I just find the space of what sounds good, and at what frequency, very reduced.
I still deeply enjoy a good rib eye and burgers and french fries and stuff.
it's also not bulletproof. some foods break through. pizza and french fries are unaffected and I can really overdo those and feel disgusting.

190 last I weighed myself, but that was about 2 months ago
my starting weight was 220
my all time max weight before GLP-1s was about 260. I bounced between 210 and 230 most of my adult life while dieting and exercising and trying to be health conscious
I've never been 190 in my adult life before! could I hit 180?! seemed impossibly out of reach until now
probably I'll get my muscle and fat mass tested at the one year anniversary

Amazing success.
I was on semaglutide but started over with tirzepatide halfway through due to costs.
Lost about 30 pounds effortlessly. I chose to go slowly so that I could still continue to do my run club and also preserve strength. Gained about a minute on my mile time. I lost a bit of absolute strength but relative to my weight my lifts have mostly held, with some improvement on stuff like chinups.
Compared to how much misery and struggle it usually takes to do this through dieting these results are fucking incredible for me. I can basically forget about food.
A lot of anxiety around travel has disappeared as well. I used to worry quite a bit whenever I would go on trips to make sure I booked places near healthy food options so I wouldn't binge on junk food. But now it's not a worry at all.
Congrats friendo. I started GLP-1 drugs almost a year ago and could have written a similar post. I'm in my mid-40s though.
Day 2-4 after dosing is my peak appetite suppressing effect and I have to remember to eat lest I feel tired.
I have had some immediate taste changes as well. I used to consistently put two sugars into coffee and tea my whole life but now that sounds gross and I limit myself to one.
Overall I'm very pleased with the effects so far, I just wish they'd lasted longer but I'm sure that'll happen either next week or when I step up to the 5mg dose.
It has like a 5 day half life or so, so after you've been on a therapeutic dose for a few months you'll still have appetite suppressing effects weeks after discontinuing.
Conversely, I do notice that after upping my dose it takes about 3-4 weeks to reach the peak effect.
I remember watching an old interview with Ayn Rand on Donahue, when he had a talk show, circa 1980, and there was this bit where Ayn Rand said she felt good about skyscrapers and cities and Donahue responded with dismay at all of the people working these soulless office jobs in big concrete buildings.
As someone that came of age around Flight Club I was surprised at how much older the office drone disgust sentiment was.
I wonder if I recall that correctly?
