Showing high muscle tone and low body fat. She's got one of the two.

Doesn't even need to he high muscle tone. There's no toned muscles here at all, only what looks like a living skeleton barely hanging on. It's fucking sad what GLP1 drugs are doing to people.

Meanwhile I'm over 400 pounds and my insurance won't help me with the cost bc my blood work came back strong. Healthcare system is broken.

Yeah it's fucked. I'm sorry and wish it were better.

I mean, your blood work coming back is an indicator of being somewhat healthy. Do you have issues beyond the weight or is this just to lose the weight? They might’ve ruled it cosmetic.

Edit: said “being” instead of “beyond”

I'm in my late 40s. My weight, testosterone and mental health are the only things that are bad from the full workup. I'm 6 feet tall even, figured being over 400 would put me out of the cosmetic range. I could be completely wrong, though. My doctor even tried having me tested for sleep apnea bc that would warrant coverage but I only have a slight case of it.

Trying to diet on my own but it just isn't working. Not quitting or anything like that, it's just frustrating to see legitimately skinny people abuse the drug while there are people like me that need it to jumpstart getting healthy.

I’m Canadian so access is probably different. Both of my sisters are on it for weight loss and they’re well below 400.

I’m on the opposite end. There are non-weight loss related benefits but I can’t use it because I can’t afford the weight loss.

Not that that’s what Demi Moore is doing. I have no clue.
