Drugs are easy.

Working out and eating well is hard.

Gracie used meth to drop a couple hundred.

Still has a weigh to go.

Actually sort of sad that pharmaceuticals are replacing aelf-discippline. Will other forms of self-control also be replaced by drugs? Not a good future we seem to be entering. I predict that those losing weight now with Ozempic will, unfortunately gain it back without continued use of the drug which will then require a new Weight Watchers....Weight Watchers NA!
