Losing 40 pounds where sometimes it feels like this weight is impossible to lose. That's what makes it worth it.

For a lot of people, the alternative to GLP-1's is dying of a heart attack in their 50s, or taking decades off their lives by developing type 2 diabetes, or any number of complications from weight-related diseases.

My point is that it's not all roses. Overall I'm glad I took it and will continue to do so. It's not without downsides, despite the endless stream of favorable studies on it.
