When spouse supports your health journey, until....

Thanks "only every man who has ever been married to a woman..." I laughed out loud in front of several people when I read this.

Sounds like your wife is at least into the biohacking. My wife has no interest so I will not be pushing that button.

My wife is into anything that is for skin or hair. She's not into getting into technical discussions about how it works or why she should take it. So I just tell her 'this is what this is and this is what the anecdotal evidence says it might do'. But she's also a believer in BPC-157 now because she has some gastric issues from her Ozempic still even on very low dose and after years and says it is improving that

That's really why I threw that out there is kind of a way to say 'share this with your partner, but don't push, preach, or argue, because you will get the opposite of what you were looking for despite the best of intentions'. It took me a long while to learn this, the hard way.

Now if she sees me filling up a syringe earlier in the day when I do my GHK cu, she'll say 'hey, where's my blue shot?'.
 
My wife is on Reta too, same dose. It tends to hit harder me than her. I feel full all the time, but get small portions down. She doesn't anywhere like she used to either. She agrees on how we're eating. We both would like to out to eat at a good place for steaks, but know that would be a waste. Still do lunch on Wednesday at a local place for 6 or 10 wings. We do go out for a couple with friends often, but I normally only have 2 beers. Now, she thinks I'm losing to much weight. Then I'll show her the stubborn belly and side fat. Almost done, like 10 more stubborn pounds, then I'll figure out a maintenance dose. We're both retired, so we spend a lot of time together, but we worked together for 22 years, so no big deal.

Maybe you should bend just a little. Best of luck.

At this point, I really struggle to let myself get off plan even for a day. That doesn't mean we can't go to restaurants or even out for something like ice cream. On days I know we are going to go out, I plan my calories for the rest of the day around it. I will cut back on calories earlier in the day so going out won't get me off plan. You can go out and enjoy the things you used to, often in smaller portions, without getting off track.

I agree! My husband and I lost weight in the past doing one meal a day, so on days that I have a large midday meal, I just try not to eat any other meals that day! I like to have a yogurt protein drink at bedtime. It gives me protein and helps me sleep.
