Omg those jackets! 😂🙊 And I’m now kind of mad/sad/broke that I’ve been adding collagen to my coffee for the past 3 years.

Not for nothing, but as a GLP-1 user, my recent clothing purchases have little to do with the endorphin rush. I've dropped four inches on my waist and down six for sport coats. I had to do a reset because I started looking like the kid in the movie "Big" while walking around holding my pants up (while wearing a belt). And, with more work to do, I'm hesitant to buy too much as I'm expecting to lose more weight.

But, a new Dooney & Bourke would go nice with the new suit I just bought.

congratulations on your progress, Jared! I'll be really curious if there's a rise in adjustable (or rentable) men's clothes as GLP-1 usage continues to go up.

and you should absolutely buy that bag!!

Insert a plug for the great novel "Middlemarch" here:

in 1830 rural England, doctors made most of their money from selling "prescriptions" to their patients, not from fees. The "prescriptions" (things like "black draught" which were mostly laxatives) were things they compounded themselves.

Dr. Lydgate earns the enmity of the local doctors by vowing that he won't do that.

Now translate "prescriptions" to "supplements" and you have the modern holistic doctor's business model.

I haven't made it through Middlemarch yet.... but this checks out :)

I’m not especially tolerant of really difficult novels, but this one (and Anna Karenina) I didn’t find too hard to read.
