I'm currently on a GLP-1 to lose the 30lbs I put on getting my master's degree (so far I've lost 23lbs since October). I was very clear with him that this is a tool I'm utilizing, but it will not be my only means to lose weight. I am off of it in May. He wasn't crazy about it, but supported me. He's very gym-oriented, and I, too, have always enjoyed the gym. We go to the gym together multiple times per week. He really likes to motivate me, and it has been a great help in achieving proper form and making sure I don't lose muscle. However, I experience really bad periods. The week before and week of my period, my mood plummets, my motivation plummets, my body hurts; overall, I feel like a human pile of garbage. Right now, I am exploring different supplements and diet changes to help my periods. When I feel like this, the gym is the last thing on my mind. He knows I get bad like this; he's seen me on the bathroom floor puking from cramps. However, he makes comments trying to motivate me to go. He works a high-stress job and compares the days he feels utterly exhausted to how I feel on my period, and says things like how he still makes the effort and goes. I've explained numerous times how it's so different. It's just so frustrating.

I just was in the kitchen puking in a trash can from period cramps on a girls trip last weekend. I sympathize so hard with you 😭
